Why We Fast Part Two: The One Where I Can't Stop On Time
Manage episode 481163484 series 3612441
I just can't stop talking about this! If you haven't already, start with Part One where we dig into the first two reasons why we fast, and today you can add on Part Two with even more biblical and scientific study behind the benefits of fasting. If you've never studied fasting, this is the episode for you to motivate you to start this rhythm.
Pull up a chair here at The Mentor's Table, and join the discussion as we continue this multi-part series on the spiritual discipline of fasting.
