New Podcast series on fasting
The Discipleship Ministries team (DMT) will be launching a podcast series on fasting during November. The DMT is focused on supporting churches across Western Australia to connect with God through daily devotional practices. Fasting is a devotional practice that is often not talked about, but I felt impressed to explore fasting this year. I’m interested in unpacking the idea that fasting can help us decrease focus on ourselves and allow God to be increased in our lives.
The podcast will invite listeners on a journey that seeks to understand different aspects of fasting, such as what is biblical fasting? How to fast? What should I fast from? The impact of fasting on our bodies and minds. It will also connect with a variety of experts or people already experienced in fasting.
One of the big questions we will ask is why should you even consider fasting? I will be starting my own fasting journey at the same time and will be sharing a video diary of my experience. I’m excited to learn more and praying it becomes a deeply spiritual experience. The hope is to encourage, inspire and equip others to start their own fasting journeys too.
Keep an eye on our social media or your local church bulletin for more details as November draws closer. If you’re passionate about fasting, I would love to hear from you! Please contact me on jodyeddy@adventist.org.au
