About this listen
Fasting February Recap | 48-Hour Food Fast & Social Media Detox | Men Above Reproach Podcast
In this episode, we break down our experience with Fasting February, where we took on a 48-hour food fast and a month-long social media fast. Tune in as we discuss the spiritual, physical, and mental growth we experienced—along with the struggles, surprises, and key takeaways.
🔥 What We Learned from Fasting:
- How fasting deepened our prayer life and dependence on God
- The unexpected mental clarity and self-discipline benefits
- What we struggled with (hunger hits different at midnight!)
- The impact of disconnecting from social media for a month
💡 Thinking of trying a fast? Here are some tips!
- Have a purpose—use fasting to focus on prayer, scripture, or repentance
- Stay hydrated—drink plenty of water and electrolytes
- Fill the absence of food with spiritual disciplines (prayer, journaling, scripture memorization)
- Expect challenges—but lean into God during moments of weakness
- Ease back into eating—start with simple, nourishing foods
