Fasting: Why You Should (or Maybe Shouldn’t)

Paul D. Anderson

Fasting has been practiced by followers of Jesus for thousands of years—but it’s often misunderstood. Some see it as deeply spiritual, others as outdated or even unhealthy. 

So why does the Bible talk about it so much? And should you do it—or not? 

In this message, we explore what fasting is (and isn’t), what it’s for, and how it can become a way of reconnecting with your hunger for God.
