Fasting and Prayer Helps Us Recognize and Eliminate Our Overindulgences - Shane Idleman
“We are a culture addicted to our ‘Christian crack,’” says Shane Idleman, the lead pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship. As the author of I Almost Quit: My Journey of Leading Through the Landmines of Ministry, Shane has been through the highs and lows of Christian ministry. He discusses the positive impact that prayer and fasting have had on his life and advocates for the routine use of fasting in our Christian walk to seek a closer relationship with the Lord. Shane also talks about the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and how it honors the Lord, as well as how we tend to, as Christians, still cling to worldly and comfortable addictions - whether it’s caffeine, fried food, or a bad habit. “Fasting doesn’t kill you,” he says. “Overconsumption does.”TAKEAWAYSFasting allows Christians to focus on CHRIST rather than their desiresCaffeine overstimulates the central nervous systemThe more you’re filled with the Holy Spirit, the easier it will be to push discouragement out of your lifeWe can’t be disobedient in stewarding our health and expect physical miracles at the same time🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEBARK Phone: https://bit.ly/TINAPHONEBARK App (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/BARKCCMRelationship video: https://bit.ly/42Sr4Ib40 Days to Reset Your Life book: https://amzn.to/4nw8duEMother’s Day Message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM4qFb-MdKA🔗 CONNECT WITH SHANE IDLEMANWebsite: https://westsidechristianfellowship.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/confusedchurchInstagram: https://bit.ly/4jPcuXRX: https://x.com/IdlemanShaneYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@shaneidleman5067📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/tinaRogersHood Apothecary (get 10% off with code TINA): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tinaMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
