    Fasting: A Principle of Power and Preparation (Ep. 71)

    In this candid and spirit-filled conversation, Jenny and Lee explore the law of the fast—why it matters, why it’s hard, and how it prepares us to meet our Savior. With honesty and humor, they share personal experiences, scriptural insights from Isaiah 58 and Doctrine & Covenants 59, and counsel from prophets ancient and modern. Together they are reminded that fasting isn’t about deprivation—it’s an invitation to draw nearer to Christ through discipline, humility, and joyful sacrifice. Whether fasting is your favorite spiritual practice or your most challenging one, this episode will encourage you to see it not as “starving with a prayer,” but as a sacred opportunity to strengthen your discipleship, increase your power, and open the heavens in your life.
