Have you ever wondered why Jesus said when you fast and not if? Fasting is one of the most intimate things we can do with God, and in this episode I'm sharing everything: my personal weekly fasting rhythm, what the Bible says about fasting and prayer, and practical steps to help you start even if you've never fasted before.

In this episode we cover:

• The difference between fasting and abstaining, and why it matters
• Why fasting is God's refining fire and what the "hangry" moment taught me about my own heart
• The five reasons Scripture calls us to fast, from petition to repentance to mourning
• My personal fasting rhythm as a homeschooling mom and practical tips to help you stay focused on God
• How to fast with others for a corporate breakthrough, including the powerful story of Esther

Whether you're brand new to fasting or ready to go deeper, my prayer is that this episode helps you see fasting not as a rule to follow but as a beautiful invitation to know God more intimately.
