Fasting has been an instinctive human practice across centuries and religious traditions. But in our modern day culture it has become so complex, muddled as it is with other reasons to fast that are far from spiritual. So what is the spiritual purpose of fasting and how does that sit along the cultural motivations we might hear or see modelled around us? Kate explores how Paul inspires us to bring our whole selves holistically in worship through fasting, and contrasts that to three reasons the world might tell us to fast as we all explore and reflect on what God is calling us to this lent as our own act of worship.
