What does following Jesus really look like? This week Chris and Andrew dive into the first principle: Humility & Fasting.
True humility can be an elusive trait for modern Christians. We need to ensure we neither think too highly of ourselves nor think of ourselves as worthless. It can be simple to sway too far to either side, so we look to scripture to show us how to remain humble. One tool mentioned in scripture is fasting. Fasting is an act of depriving ourselves of something to redirect our focus on something else; in a Christian's case, we would hopefully be redirecting ourselves to God and aligning ourselves with His will. However, we would like to warn you about becoming legalistic. It can be easy to become focused on the rules involved with fasting alone and not the main reason for completing a fast. Also, a word of warning, please do not fast to the point of putting yourself in danger. If you have any questions about fasting or humility, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We would love to answer some of your questions on the show!
But the conversation does not end here! Join us next week as we continue our conversation and dive into more scripture to find out what we are called to become.
We would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected], we would love to include some of your questions for us or just questions about the bible or Christian life in general.
