Should Christians fast today? If so, why—and how?

In this episode, Pastors Chris and Tony explore the biblical practice of fasting. They discuss what Scripture says about fasting in both the Old and New Testaments, how Jesus viewed the practice, and why fasting is a matter of Christian freedom rather than a divine command. Along the way, they address common misconceptions, practical ways Christians might incorporate fasting into their devotional lives, and how fasting can serve repentance, prayer, and a renewed focus on Christ without becoming a work of self-righteousness.

Whether you've never fasted before or are simply curious about what Lutherans believe, this conversation offers a balanced, biblical look at an often misunderstood spiritual discipline.
