Conversations with John & Lisa Bevere

When it comes to spiritual disciplines, most of us prioritize a select few—reading the Scriptures, praying, and being a part of a community. One practice that often gets overlooked is fasting. In this Conversations episode, we demystify fasting—breaking down popular misconceptions and taking a deep dive into common questions surrounding it. When you learn what fasting is all about, and how to engage with God through it, you will connect with Him like never before and position yourself for greater growth. We pray that this episode of the Conversations podcast helps you to develop a vision and passion for fasting.
