Practicing The Way - Fasting

In our current study on the Practices in the Way of Jesus, we come to Fasting. Jesus did it, his followers fasted, when speaking to the crowd, he assumed they did it. Why? What is it about fasting and why does it find itself in the Judea-Christian tradition? Why is fasting a key element in many other religions and world traditions? Even if we can answer these in theory, how does Jesus say we are supposed to fast? We explore these elements in this week's teaching.
