197: “And When You Fast” Are You Fasting as a Spiritual Practice?

Do you practice fasting as spiritual discipline?  Did you know, according to Jesus, fasting is not an IF, but a WHEN.  Have you been considering fasting as a spiritual practice, but don't know where to begin? 

In this episode Sasha answers a question from the Mom Life Balance Community on Facebook from Stephanie Kluck. Stephanie asked if I could speak to the topics of prayer & fasting.

In part one of this episode Sasha shares about fasting. Sasha shares a personal testimony of how God worked through those around her and His spirit to bring her from not fasting, to doing regular three day fasts. She shares about fasting from multiple scripture passages in the Bible including: Jesus fasting in the wilderness, WHEN you fast, and living according to the Spirit. 

*Be sure to come back tomorrow to listen to part 2 of this episode where Sasha shares about prayer.*
