  • #27 - Fasting 101
    Feb 16 2026

    Why does it feel like the American church encourages me to pray and read my bible every day but stays silent on fasting? Is it a lost spiritual discipline that we have neglected as Americans? What was Daniel doing when he fasted for 21 days? Why did Jesus fast for 40 days before he started his ministry? Should I only fast when I want to seek Gods guidance on a decision in my life? If I fast and hear nothing from God, did I fail? What does his silence mean? How does his silence build up our spiritual muscles for future trials and testing? Can I fast just to seek His peace during a tough season in my life? If you’ve ever wondered whether fastingstill matters for believers today, then this episode is for you.

  • #26 - Distant Judge or Loving Father?
    Jan 30 2026

    What if your understanding of God the Father is wrong? Have Christians unintentionally reduced the Trinity to “Father God” plus “Jesus” and “The Holy Spirit”? Is the Father really a distant judge, or have we missed who He truly is? What if the Father’s desire is to walk with you and love you the way He did with Adam in the garden? If you long to understand Father God more deeply, then this episode is for you.

  • #25 - Our Father Who Art In Heaven
    Jan 24 2026

    What is God’s name? Should I pray to Jesus, The Holy Spirit, or The Father? Why does Jesus teach us to pray to Father God? Does God really care which member of the Trinity I pray to? Do the others feel left out? Can I really approach Father God like he is my father in Heaven or is Jesus the only one who gets that relationship with Him? If you ever had questions about The Father then this episode is for you.
