Fasting and Social Justice



New studies show that intermittent fasting can bring significant health benefits. But as people get more interested in fasting for health reasons, interest in fasting for spiritual reasons continues to decline. Indeed, fasting is perhaps the most misunderstood and underused spiritual discipline that God gives to us. One reason is because we too often disconnect fasting from the practice of social justice. The prophets (and Jesus) help us understand that when we divorce the two we rob fasting of its divine purpose and make it a self-serving exercise that breeds self-righteousness. Check out this message as we seek to better understand the principles behind fasting and how to practice them in our everyday lives.
