## Resource

In this episode we are talking about the discipline of fasting. This practice is discussed and seen all over the Old Testament as well as New Testament. While it is certainly the case that fasting was commanded as it was associated with feasts in the old covenant, does Jesus command that we ought to be fasting on a regular basis today? And if I were to choose to fast, what is the purpose of it and how can I do it in a way that it accomplishes something? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
