Episode 19 - Fasting, Social Media, and Goofy Christians
Biblical fasting goes beyond simply abstaining from food - it's about replacing physical nourishment with spiritual sustenance through dedicated time with God. While many Christians misunderstand fasting as a way to manipulate God or confuse it with giving up social media, true biblical fasting involves both abstaining from food and engaging in focused prayer. The practice should be done privately, without public announcement, and with a heart focused on deepening our relationship with God rather than earning His favor. When done correctly, fasting creates space to hear God's voice more clearly and draw closer to Him.
