For centuries men and women have stepped away from the table to fast. To pray, to seek something deeper. But what does a 40 day fast look like today? I'm Dr. Sam Sims with Kingdom fasting and in this podcast I invite you to walk with 4 ordinary people on an extraordinary journey. Today is day 30, it marks a turning point. As our participants cross the 75% mark, something unexpected happens as strength rises, clarity increases, and courage shows up in powerful ways. In this episode, Sam walks through the spiritual and scientific reasons behind this surge of empowerment, the role of metabolic switching, and the moment their church united in fasting and prayer. Discover why fasting doesn't weaken you… it empowers you! Research article mentioned: Mattson, Mark P et al. "Intermittent metabolic switching, neuroplasticity and brain health." Nature reviews.
