Wendy Speake joins Amber to talk about fasting and how it can drive us feast upon the Lord.
Questions Wendy and Amber discuss about fasting:- (7:16) Fasting can be intimidating and like many spiritual disciplines I think Christians are unsure how to go about fasting with a focus on the Lord vs. focusing on self. Will you take us back and share when you began fasting regularly and what it looks like to rely on the Lord vs self?
- (12:07) What are some of the temptations people have shared when you’re in the middle of the fast?
- (19:49) What are some ways you encourage people to really push through the hard parts of fasting?
- (29:42) You have written the 40 day Sugar fast and the 40 day social media fast. What led you to write those books?
- (36:07) As we close, how has fasting changed your life with God?
“[To] really be undistracted so that we might be devoted to feasting on his presence, feasting on his word, feasting on this dialogue through prayer with him and and that’s really what fasting is.”
“It can be a private thing. In Matthew, we’re told fasting is done in private. But in the Old Testament we’re shown fasting is done as a corporate opportunity to trust God for deliverance together.”
