Episode #44: Grow Closer to God With Prayer and Fasting

Start the year with a hunger that changes everything. Stephanie lays out a clear, biblical path for prayer and fasting that quiets the noise, strengthens your spirit, and tunes your heart to God’s voice. Instead of chasing goals on autopilot, we ask better questions: What does God want for my life, my work, and my next step? With practical guidance and a straight look at Scripture, this conversation reframes fasting as closing the mouth to food and opening ourselves to prayer, worship, and the Word.We walk through Matthew 4 to see how Jesus confronted temptation during a forty-day fast, answering every lie with truth. You’ll learn why context matters when the enemy twists Scripture, how to build a real prayer routine that lasts longer than five minutes, and what it means to put the flesh under so your spirit can lead. Stephanie clarifies common myths—fasting isn’t just a social media break—and explains how to discern if your fast is focused on God or on creative meals. Expect a practical, grounded approach: set aside time, steep in Scripture, and watch your responses change as God’s Word fills your mouth.This is about more than spiritual discipline; it’s about direction, favor, and bold obedience. When you put God first, you start recognizing open doors, speaking life instead of defeat, and choosing the path that leads to hope and a future. If you’re ready to seek clarity for 2026, strengthen your discernment, and let Scripture shape your decisions, this one invites you to begin now. Subscribe, share with someone who needs encouragement.
