In this episode, I share my transformative experience at the start of the year, stepping away from traditional resolutions and diving deep into faith, fasting, and self-reflection.

This year, I took a different approach—participating in the Daniel Fast for 21 days through my home church, Calvary in Kendall, Florida. It wasn’t just about food; I also eliminated social media, dating apps, and other distractions to deepen my connection with God and focus on spiritual clarity.

I started with a four-day water and caffeine fast, followed by a seven-day water-only fast after my pastor encouraged the congregation to take on the challenge. The results were life-changing:

• Gained mental clarity and spiritual depth.
• Broke my dependency on caffeine without trying.
• Realized that habits, even seemingly harmless ones, can be addictions when unchecked.

Fasting is about more than just food—it's about discipline, focus, and faith. Some key takeaways:

1. Set an objective – Pray strategically and define your fasting goals.
2. Make a commitment – Choose what type of fast you’ll do and for how long.
3. Prepare spiritually and physically – Repent, reset your mindset, and ease into fasting.
4. Follow a schedule – Make time for prayer and scripture to strengthen your faith.
5. End fasting properly – Gradually reintroduce food, starting with bone broth for healing benefits.
6. Expect results – A deeper connection with God, clarity, and renewed energy.

I’ve recently relocated back to Charleston, South Carolina, to take over a business I helped build for 20 years. It wasn’t forced—it was God’s will, and everything fell into place. With my business in San Antonio running smoothly, I can now focus on restructuring and leading this company in Charleston.

On my road trip back, I had two pivotal experiences:

1. Dallas, TX – Meetings with two Christian businessmen reaffirmed my path and reminded me to slow down.
2. Atlanta, GA – A friend’s wife was struggling with severe health issues. God led me to stop, pray over her, and witness a profound moment of peace as her tremors calmed for the first time in a year.

• Faith and healing are real – I've seen incredible transformations through prayer and fasting.
• We attract what we project – Love, kindness, and gratitude bring positive energy into our lives.
• Simplicity leads to clarity – Life doesn’t have to be complicated. Prioritize faith, self-care, and meaningful connections.

As we navigate the new year, consider:

• Are you sticking to your resolutions?
• What can you remove or sacrifice to gain more clarity and purpose?
• How can you strengthen your faith and relationships?
