What If Fasting Isn’t About Food? | Pastor Bryant Hemphil...

What this episode covers

Many people approach fasting with hesitation, uncertainty, or even fear, wondering what it requires and whether they’re doing it “right.”In this message from the Rhythms series, Pastor Bryant Hemphill explains the purpose of fasting and why it has always been about drawing closer to God, not striving for spiritual approval. As Awaken Spokane enters a season of prayer and fasting, this teaching introduces spiritual rhythms as intentional practices that shape our hearts toward growth, obedience, and holiness.If you’ve ever felt unsure about fasting or questioned how it fits into everyday faith, this message will help you approach it with understanding, intentionality, and a desire to hear God more clearly.
