Episode 151 – Fasting: What It Is… and What It Definitely Isn’t


Listen Later

🥴 Is it spiritual… or just skipping lunch?
In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph break down fasting—not the cute, curated version, but the real, biblical one. From juice cleanses disguised as devotionals to guilt-fueled church fasts, they tackle the confusion, comedy, and convictions around how modern Christians view this ancient practice.
Whether you’ve fasted out of faith, peer pressure, or forgot to eat… this episode unpacks what Jesus actually meant—and what we’ve made it mean.
With their signature wit and unfiltered honesty, the guys cover:
• What fasting isn’t (spoiler: a diet plan)
• Why “just pray more” isn’t the answer
• The tension between spiritual discipline and burnout
• And the hilarious, awkward pressure of public fasts
This is not your average sermon recap. It’s the convo we all wish our small group would have—smart, sarcastic, and deeply honest.
