#118 Fasting with Guest Beth Bubik 

As we begin Lent, we spoke with Beth Bubik about fasting. Jesus says to his disciples “when we fast” not “if.” Beth speaks on the spiritual and health aspects of fasting and how to incorporate it into our daily lives rather than just on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 

Production note: 

There was a technology issue and we lost about 10 seconds of recording. Beth had been talking about our metabolism and how things with food consumption have changed since the middle ages. Stacy recorded a short bridge between sections but everything else is intact. Thank you for your understanding.
