Empty Plates, Full Hearts: The Truth About Fasting

from The Girl with GRITS Podcast · host Annetta NettieBee Crump Willis

NettieBee returns from a brief hiatus to challenge listeners about fasting during Lent, stressing that true fasting must soften the heart and produce love and unity rather than being mere performance. She calls believers to fast from gossip, offense, comparison, and pride, to reach out and forgive, and to replace old habits with compassion and action—citing Isaiah 58 and 1 John as a call to practical righteousness.
