Fasting

We are looking at things Jesus did and asking if we do them too, can we become more like Jesus, and so can they become life-giving habits for us?

Today, Mal Calladine talks about fasting, something we probably know either as a spiritual discipline, like giving things up for Lent, or as a diet.

But do those things make a sustainable, long lasting difference to us? Are there better ways and better reasons to fast?

Mal looks at fasting as a way of surfacing and beating "resistors" in our lives. If we can do it well, fasting can help us to know what is in our hearts, and if we can also do it with humility, it can help us to build our reliance on God.
