What if fasting isn’t the only way to draw near to God?
In this episode, we’re exploring the idea of feasting instead of fasting—not as a replacement, but as another way to focus our hearts. While fasting creates space, feasting fills that space with what nourishes our souls.
Using Philippians 4:8 as our guide, we’ll look at simple, meaningful ways to feast on God’s Word, feast on gratitude, and feast on rest.
In This Episode, We’ll Explore:
🍽 What it means to feast spiritually and why it matters
📖 Feasting on God’s Word instead of just fasting from distractions
💛 Feasting on gratitude instead of fasting from grumbling
😌 Feasting on rest instead of fasting from busyness
✍️ Simple practices to help you engage with Scripture and shift your focus toward God
