    #111: How Christian Fasting Fits Into Modern Life

    Click below to Join the Priority Waitlist for the Fasting Way experience: https://www.lisaroers.com/fw-priority-waitlistWhat does Christian fasting look like in modern life — when our schedules are full, our lives feel overwhelming, and our health or season makes fasting feel complicated? In this episode of the Sunshine☀️Café, Lisa Roers explores how this ancient spiritual practice still fits beautifully into today’s world. You’ll learn the biblical heart of fasting, why modern life has changed how fasting is practiced, and the different ways fasting can be done today — without fear, pressure, or extremes. This conversation is an invitation to approach fasting with wisdom, intention, and grace, and to see it not as a rigid rule, but as a prayer-led way to draw closer to God, quiet the noise of the world, and listen for His still, small voice.

    #110: How Fasting Helps You Hear God More Clearly

    If you'd like to learn more about fasting - with or without restricting food - please join the Priority Waitlist for the Fasting Way experience: https://www.lisaroers.com/fw-priority-waitlist   In this episode, we explore how fasting helps us hear God more clearly — not by making Him speak louder, but by quieting the internal noise that often drowns out His voice. We talk about discerning God’s leading from urgency and pressure, shifting from prideful striving to humble listening, recognizing gentle correction instead of condemnation, and how surrender aligns our hearts with God’s direction. This episode offers a calm, faith-filled invitation to slow down, listen differently, and draw closer to the God who is already speaking.

    #109: Why is Fasting so Hard?

    If you're curious to learn more about fasting, please consider joining the Priority Waitlist for the Fasting Way experience (February 2027): https://www.lisaroers.com/fw-priority-waitlist Why does fasting feel so hard — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? In this second episode of the January fasting mini-series, host Lisa Roers gently unpacks four key reasons fasting can feel especially challenging in modern life. From our resistance to change, to constant distraction and overstimulation, to cultural shifts away from self-denial, this episode offers compassionate insight and encouragement for anyone who has struggled with fasting. You’ll discover why difficulty doesn’t mean failure, how fasting creates space for clarity and healing, and why resistance may actually be an invitation from God. This episode sets the foundation for understanding fasting as a grace-filled spiritual practice, not a test of willpower.

    #108: Is Fasting Biblical & Safe?

    Is fasting biblical—and is it safe? In this opening episode of a new mini-series, Lisa explores what Scripture actually says about fasting and clears up common fears and misconceptions. You’ll learn how fasting is presented in the Bible as a voluntary, relational practice—not a performance or punishment—and how it can be approached in a safe, gentle, and adaptable way. This episode is for anyone curious about fasting, hesitant because of past experiences, or unsure whether fasting is something God invites us into today.
