#109: Why is Fasting so Hard?

from Sunshine Cafe: Stories to Encourage & Inspire · host Lisa Roers

If you're curious to learn more about fasting, please consider joining the Priority Waitlist for the Fasting Way experience (February 2027): https://www.lisaroers.com/fw-priority-waitlist Why does fasting feel so hard — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? In this second episode of the January fasting mini-series, host Lisa Roers gently unpacks four key reasons fasting can feel especially challenging in modern life. From our resistance to change, to constant distraction and overstimulation, to cultural shifts away from self-denial, this episode offers compassionate insight and encouragement for anyone who has struggled with fasting. You’ll discover why difficulty doesn’t mean failure, how fasting creates space for clarity and healing, and why resistance may actually be an invitation from God. This episode sets the foundation for understanding fasting as a grace-filled spiritual practice, not a test of willpower.
