Fasting has been called the feast that frees. In this episode Leighann shares the spiritual benefit of fasting and reflections on her recent experience with a 40-day fast.

This is perhaps one of Leighann's most vulnerable episodes. She shares how she's making sense of her suffering, and how you can too!! Scripture you want to underline are these: Jeremiah 9:23-24 Romans 5:3-5

Join Leighann as she and Gayla Parker discuss how best to share the love of Jesus with people who are deconstructing their faith. Check out Gayla's book Active Compassion on Amazon

I met Casey in March 2024 at a webinar we were both invited to be a part of, hosted by Lifeway Christian Resources.

I hope that it encourages you. Share this interview with anyone you know who is loving someone who is deconstructing their faith.
