How do you start the year spiritually strong — and actually sustain it?

This conversation reframes fasting and spiritual disciplines from something punitive to something powerful. With honesty, humor, and biblical clarity, the guys talk about why fasting isn’t about what you’re giving up, but what you’re fasting for, and how clarity, dependence on God, and real transformation flow from disciplined devotion.

We dive into what it looks like to move beyond information into formation — and why spiritual disciplines that don’t lead to spiritual change miss the point entirely.

You’ll hear conversations about:

Why fasting is preparation and the work

Biblical fasting and how to approach it with wisdom and intention

The difference between discipline and deprivation

Why clarity often follows obedience

Reading Scripture for transformation, not just information

The role of community in sustaining healthy spiritual habits

Serving, Sundays, and avoiding performative spirituality

Sabbath, rest, and resisting a culture of constant rush

This episode will challenge you to take your faith seriously, build habits that last beyond a season, and walk into the new year with purpose, clarity, and spiritual strength.

What do you do when someone says, “God told me…” — and how do you actually know if it was God?

In Episode 18 of the Like Father, Like Son Podcast, Pastors Deryck Frye, Devon Frye, and host Michael Tirpak unpack one of the most misused and misunderstood phrases in the church today. This conversation is raw, honest, funny, and deeply needed for anyone trying to discern the voice of God in a noisy world.

We dive into the heart of prophetic culture — the beauty of it, the danger of it, and the responsibility that comes with saying, “God said.” From personal stories and past experiences to biblical wisdom and practical discernment, this episode challenges the way we think about prophecy, hearing God, and spiritual maturity.
