Podcast: Shaped by Fasting

This is the second sermon in our Lenten series on spiritual disciplines, “Shaped.”This week we take a look at the spiritual discipline of fasting. I use Philippians 3:17-4:1, but the principle behind fasting, of humbling ourselves so that God would lift us up, is a theme throughout scripture. We look at different kinds of fasting as well as why we do fasting. Finally, we remember that we fast with our eyes on the feast. It is Lent, but Easter is coming. I’ll put a link at the bottom of the post to Richard Foster’s book on spiritual disciplines. It is a great help, not only with fasting, but also with several other spiritual disciplines.
