Episode Details

From Moses on the mountain to Jesus in the wilderness, fasting appears throughout Scripture as a powerful spiritual rhythm. In this teaching, we trace the biblical patterns of fasting—from Old Testament moments of repentance and national crisis to New Testament expressions of devotion, guidance, and spiritual warfare. Fasting is more than abstaining from food; it is a declaration of dependence, a posture of humility, and a pursuit of God's presence. As we examine key examples and purposes of fasting in the Bible, we are invited to recover this often-overlooked discipline and rediscover the joy of hungering after God.
