Fasting

Fasting

Author: A Word Fitly Spoken February 27, 2020 Duration: 1:03:42
“For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.”  As we enter Lent, Peter’s words teach us the importance of spiritual discipline, including fasting.  Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.  What else does the Bible have to say about fasting?  Why did the early church very quickly adopt fasting?  Why should we practice fasting today?

There’s a particular richness that comes from seeing the whole story, from tracing a thread through centuries and discovering it’s still holding strong today. That’s the journey offered by A Word Fitly Spoken Podcast. Rather than offering quick takes, each episode settles into a deliberate and thoughtful exploration of the Bible, treating Scripture with both reverence and intellectual curiosity. The focus remains fixed on presenting Jesus Christ in his complete character and work, drawing directly from the biblical text. What makes this podcast distinct is how it consistently connects this deep scriptural study to the lived experience of faith across time. You’ll hear how the truths of God’s Word have been understood, defended, and have borne tangible fruit throughout the broad sweep of church history. This approach provides listeners with a grounded, historical perspective that deepens contemporary faith. The conversations and teachings here are for anyone weary of fragmented spirituality, offering instead a cohesive vision of Christianity that is both ancient and urgently relevant. Tuning in feels less like consuming content and more like joining a thoughtful, ongoing discussion about the foundations that have sustained believers for generations.
