Is Fasting Still Relevant? w/ Dr. Chris Marshall

Why do we avoid one of the spiritual disciplines Jesus assumed we’d actually do? In Part 3 of our series on Spiritual Disciplines, Pastor Mark is joined by Dr. Chris Marshall to discuss fasting. For many of us, fasting feels "old-timey," overwhelming, or even like "works righteousness," but it’s actually a powerful rhythm designed to sharpen our hunger for God. Whether you are a seasoned believer or just starting your faith journey, this conversation explores how to move from physical hunger to spiritual fullness.📖 In This Episode:Personal Journeys: Dr. Chris shares his experience transitioning from a "fasting novice" to leading a congregation in 21-day fasts. Types of Fasts: We break down the differences between a Water Fast, the Daniel Fast (vegetables and water), and the "Solid Food" fast. Fasting vs. Abstaining: Is skipping social media the same as skipping a meal? We discuss why the physical sacrifice of food hits differently. Medical Wisdom: Important advice on how to fast safely if you have conditions like diabetes or are recovering from illness. The Heart of the Matter: Moving away from "twisting God's arm" and toward a direct line to His presence.**********👋 BECOME PART OF THE COMMUNITY!
