Hello everyone, my name's Will and I'd like to welcome you back to the City on the Hill podcast. This show explores important Biblical themes and narratives and looks to apply the teachings of the Bible to our everyday lives. Today, we’re looking at an often-forgotten spiritual discipline; fasting. Fasting is something we see throughout the Bible, from Exodus all the way through to Paul’s epistles, and can form a very powerful part of our prayer lives and walk in faith. Today we’ll look at why and how we should be fasting, and the effects it can have on our relationship with God. This episode is going to be on the long side, but I’m excited for it and I hope you are too, so let’s get into this!
