Wellness practitioner Jackie Mulligan joins Brother Elijah and Father Mark-Mary to discuss the spiritual and physical benefits of fasting. Why should Christians fast? Here are two of the reasons discussed in this video:
- It cultivates and sustains intimacy with God.
- It makes our intentions amazingly powerful (see Mark 9:29).
Jackie says, “We rarely ever grow when we’re comfortable.” So if you’re at the point where you want to go deeper in your spiritual life and establish a more intimate relationship with God, try a fast.
If you have tried fasting (for more than just Ash Wednesday and Good Friday) but feel like you’re losing sight of the benefits, this video is a great reminder of those benefits.
If you are certain you don’t like fasting, have tried it and feel like it doesn’t help you, or think it’s a silly idea and have no interest in being convinced otherwise, then this video is not for you.
