Episode Details

Alexis sits down with Cherrie Burdeshaw, founder of The Potter's House and author of Lord, Change Him or Kill Him, for a deep dive into fasting as a spiritual discipline. Cherrie breaks down what actually happens in your body day by day during a fast, from glycogen depletion to ketosis, and explains why Jesus fasted and why we should too. They talk through the different types of fasts, how long you can safely fast, and the long list of physical and spiritual benefits that come with it. This episode is a practical, no fluff guide for anyone who has wanted to try fasting but did not know where to start, paired with real testimony of what fasting has done in both of their lives. If you have ever said I could never go a day without food, this conversation might change your mind.
