Growing Forward Episode 31: What You Didn’t Know About Fasting

In this episode of Growing Forward, Pastor Andy Comer explores the spiritual discipline of fasting and why it’s far more than just not eating.

He explains that while Scripture never commands believers to fast, it consistently invites us to use fasting as a way to pursue something more necessary than food—the very presence of God!

You’ll learn seven biblical reasons for fasting, from seeking God’s protection and direction to grieving, confessing sin, and preparing for ministry. You’ll also learn three key questions to ask before you fast so it becomes a meaningful spiritual practice rather than an empty ritual.
