This week, we take a break between sermon series’ to focus on the spiritual practice of fasting. Paige Vender and Bailey Gambill walk us through insights on their favorite F-word through their deep dive into biblical scholar Scot McKnight’s book “Fasting: The Ancient Practices.” In this podcast-style discussion, they open with an explaination of what spiritual discaplines looks like, bringing the conversation around to how and why people have used fasting historically. The practice becomes an act of worship, striping away our sense of independance, uncovering our deeply human need for a provider and savior. Paige and Bailey encourage us as followers of Jesus to "Fast around and find out."
