Episode description
In this episode, we explore the significance of Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent—40 days of repentance, mourning, and fasting in preparation for Easter. Drawing parallels to an athlete’s disciplined training, we discuss how fasting trains us to rely on God’s Word rather than our appetites. Jesus Himself calls us to fast, and through this practice, we create space for prayer, reflection, and repentance. We dive into the deeper purpose of fasting, how it sharpens our prayers, and how it helps us live in greater dependence on God.
