- Health & Fitness
In Episode 30 today, we discuss different types of fasting. Fasting, especially intermittent fasting, gets a lot of press these days. But, fasting is not new! Jesus fasted and many Bible heroes from the Old Testament fasted. After today’s episode, we think you will want to try fasting as well. Here are just a few benefits!
Spiritual benefits:
Determining idols or cheap substitutes
Dependency on God
More clarity
Mental/Emotional benefits:
Decreased anxiety, less depression, better focus
Increased resilience
Simple Steps:
Consider a fast centered around the question, “What might be taking the place of God in my life?” Or what is standing in the way of going deeper with God? Pray and journal about this.
Try it! A fast is considered a practice. Maybe you fast one meal! Maybe you fast from sugar or alcohol for 3 days! During the fast, meditate on your statement, “I want ______, more than I want ______.”
