“It’s impossible to really grow in vitality in my walk with God, without the element of fasting.” - James Aladiran
Fasting is one of the most overlooked, under-practiced, yet spiritually potent and indispensable disciplines of the spiritual life. So what happened? 🤷♂️ How did this practice, once so central in the life of Jesus and his followers, get sidelined in his church? And what is the power of fasting in our lives and ministries today? 🤔
To discuss these big questions, we’re joined by the dynamic leader of Prayer Storm, James Aladiran. 🔥 We cover a lot of ground in this short conversation, including…
… defining fasting ✅
… the difference between fasting and abstinence ✅
… why fasting has been sidelined in our lives and ministries ✅
… the power of fasting ✅
… the connection between fasting and prayer ✅
… how fasting trains us for the spiritual life ✅
… the importance of self-denial in following Jesus ✅
… how to get started ✅
… how to fast with young people ✅
and loads more!
But watch out, this episode comes with a warning! 🚨 You will be stirred to take action by integrating a regular practice of fasting into your life. And, if you do, your walk with God will never be the same again! 🙏🙌
