Fasting is one of those Bible-y things that is familiar to read about in scripture but seems out-of-date in almost every way when it comes to practice. Instead of the kind of fasting we see in Jesus’ life and other Faith-Hall-Of-Famer’s lives we substitute “social media fasts”, but are we missing the heart of fasting? We’d argue, yes…. And maybe it’s feeding into a self-help gospel.
