90 | What Biblical Fasting Is and What Biblical Fasting Is Not.
Can fasting transform your spiritual life and deepen your connection with God? Join us as we unravel the profound practice of biblical fasting in our latest episode, where we challenge common misconceptions and highlight its true purpose. Through insightful discussions and personal reflections, we explore why fasting is more than just abstaining from food—it's about setting aside significant aspects of our lives as an act of sincere devotion.
Fasting is not a way to get on God's good side or to earn points. It's not a way to get a better response to your prayers. Welcome back to the Everyday Christian Podcast, where we apply scriptural principles to everyday Christian lives. I'm John Ridge and I'm Sean Sloggett. We want to thank you all for joining us.

Like to, they are $25. But with that. Let's just go ahead and get started.
Speaker 1:This evening, today, midnight this morning, we're going to be talking about fasting, and you know what is fast. I'll start with what is fasting. You know, fasting is the setting aside of something. Fasting, you know, fasting is the setting aside of something. There are many types of fasts. There are time-restricted fasts, modified fasts, juice fasts, water fasts, you name it. There are multiple ways to fast, some probably I've never even heard of, and if you look at them, most of them are beneficial in some way, shape or form. You know a lot of these fasts, especially in today's world, would be beneficial for us just because of all the pesticides, herbicides, any sides, whatever, whatever we have in our foods, the msg's, yada. You know we can go on and on about all that stuff, the cia, the fbi, yeah, all all that stuff in your food. They're putting chips in your food now. So they can. No, I'm kidding, they're putting chips in your chips. Yeah, it's just creepy, uh. So, you know, a fasting, fasting would do your body good. You know, we're addicted to a lot of these things and our body actually goes into withdrawals over them, which should tell you something about it. But that's a different subject there for another time on addiction. We may have to cover that at some point. But the point being is that fasts are beneficial, but they aren't always beneficial spiritually.
Speaker 1:And as I was studying for this, I came across some scriptures that we will get to here in just a few minutes. But to my surprise I'm going to admit this I've read some stuff in the Bible where fasting is not always beneficial. Right, I'll just go ahead and read these scriptures real quick here. We'll start with Matthew 6, 16 through 18. Moreover, when you fast, be not as the hypocrites of a sad countenance, for they disfigure their faces that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily, I say unto you, they have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head and wash thy face that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father, which is in secret. And thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. And then I'm going to skip down to. I'll skip down.
Speaker 1:We'll go to Isaiah 58, verses 3 through 5 is where I'm going to start. Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? Wherefore have we afflicted our soul and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast, ye find pleasure and exact all your labors. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickedness. Ye shall not fast as ye do this day to make your voice to be heard on high.
Speaker 1:It is such a fast that I. Is it such a fast that I have chosen a day for a man to afflict his soul? I'm sorry, I'm. I'm reading scripture and Jonathan's camera has glitched out. He's crawling all over the floor. I was trying to keep a straight face and nobody would know that, but he got caught on the cords and fell while he was crawling. So it's kind of hard not to Fell while he was crawling. So it's kind of hard not to. Oh, is it such a fast that I have chosen a day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt, thou call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord.
Speaker 1:So at least twice in the scripture that we can find, once in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament the Bible calls those out who fast for their own glory or their own self-well-being. I'm not saying that a health fast is wrong, but doing it for Sean and for what I can get noticed over, for my pleasure, my benefits, isn't always right. The Bible does call on us to take care of ourselves to an extent, but for the right reasons. These examples in scriptures that I read about are calling those out who are bitter about it, those who cause strife because they're suffering the hey, look at me, such a poor, miserable, wretched Christian that I am, that's doing something for the Lord. See the look on my face. Can't you tell I'm suffering? Or that don't approach me. I'm being religious for my Savior. That don't approach me. I'm being religious for my savior. That is not proper fasting, nor is that being a proper Christian.
Speaker 1:Back on the health side of it, you know we do need to take care of ourselves, right, and and fasting, I believe, can be a way to help with that. But but again, what's? You know we've mentioned this before what does it go back to? What's your you know we've mentioned this before what does it go back to? What's your reasoning for it? You know, if you're trying to do it to be healthier, then I believe that's okay. But if you're doing it to make yourself look better, you know, for the vain glory for a prideful reason. I think there's a problem there. But when you get that fasting but while you're doing it it's the hey, look at me then I believe that you do run into some issues there, brother Jonathan.
Speaker 1:First of all, I was very fast in changing out that battery them. First of all, I was very fast in changing out that battery. I don't know, for some reason, that one of the camera batteries had an issue, which, if you run a podcast or know anything about any sort of editing or video software, whatever it is, cameras etc. Things are bound to go wrong, and I love it because we always I always set this up and I'm like, oh man, we're good, we're golden, things are set up, nice, and then something always happens and so I'm crawling under the camera to swap out this battery pack and hopefully Sean's doesn't go out, but we'll, we'll find out. You know, brother Sean.
Speaker 1:Um, I think that you know something that I wrote down. I'm going to share a little bit in more detail at the end of this podcast, but something that I wrote down and had been thinking a lot about in studying, for this is what fasting isn't, and I sort of I had to change my phrasing, because fasting, there's fasting everywhere. You know, there's fasting in church, in Christianity, in different cults and religions, but then there's fasting that's not religious and that's not you know, quote biblical. So I had to rephrase and say what biblical fasting is not, and so I'm going to touch up on a lot of that too. But to your point about you know the different health benefits. There are health benefits to fasting, just in general. You don't have to be a Christian to have and participate in those health benefits when it comes to fasting. But I think about what like true biblical fasting is. If you're fasting, you know, for health reasons, nothing wrong with that. But if you think about you know the fasting that, like Jesus did in the Bible, or the fasting several fasted in the old I'm drawing a blank now, I'm out of breath but several who fasted in the Old Testament, you know what was the purpose of their fasting, what was the true biblical purpose of that, though there was health benefits to that, I wouldn't say and I know you would agree with this and I'm not going against what you said because I have that written down too it's like there are different health benefits, but you know, fasting it's not just what we get out of our health or what we get in return, or that God will answer a prayer. But fasting is for much more than even just that too.
Speaker 1:You know, I think about Jesus. The Bible says he fasted and I know you're wondering like why would he do that? I think that he did that, for an example, in Matthew 4, luke 4. But Jesus, the Bible says, was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, and the Bible tells us that he fasted 40 days and 40 nights, and the most I've ever fasted from food was 10 days. It was a struggle Like you really start to realize what your body can go through but also what not to do. I think I drank like I can't remember what it was I drank during my fast and let me tell you something it was the worst thing I could have ever done, because my body's trying to flush out things and then you mix in like I think it was apple juice or something like that, and it was just. We'll save that for another, another time.
Speaker 1:But Jesus fasted for 40 days. He fasted in such a way that even when the devil tempted him with bread, he said no. And so we look at Jesus example. He fasted for 40 days. And so we look at Jesus' example. He fasted for 40 days. He's giving believers the example of what I believe to be denying your flesh. And he fasted and denied all of these earthly things. I mean he could have been given riches, he could have put himself high on the pinnacle, he could have been high on the totem pole and said what he did was he humbled himself, which, by the way, he didn't deserve that. He deserved to be high and lifted up. But he's showing us humility in that moment, and when the devil tempts him with bread, he says no, now I'd have a hard time with that.
Speaker 1:It was difficult in those 10 days to fast, and every time you fast, you always it seems like everything is heightened. It's like I'm fasting, they decide to have a Paul Luck church. Yeah, they decide to have a Paul Luck church. I'm fasting. Now, all of a sudden, the guys want to have a Paul Luck church. Yeah, they decide to have a Paul Luck church. I'm fasting. Now, all of a sudden, the guys want to go grab wings or something. You know, I'm fasting and now I'm driving behind a guy with a barbecue trailer and you can smell the barbecue as you drive by, like all of these things happen and it, honestly, it's probably just normal. But when you're fasting, it's just, it's probably just normal, but when you're fasting, it's just. It's as if that sense is heightened and then you're starting to crave and you're desiring it. But I don't. I have a hard time thinking that if I was tempted and I had the ability to turn something into bread, that I wouldn't do it. You know, obviously I don't have that ability.
Speaker 1:But to see Jesus there in that moment and really tells us A, the example, but B what the example does. You know, we fast because we are essentially denying us and we are depending on God, we are depending on his savior. And I think that a lot of people don't fast. I wrote this down and it's actually again, the wording's not great, but I wrote several do not believe that fasting is essential for your walk with Christ. Now, I actually think that people do believe that, but their actions do not. You know, they sort of fasting is sort of a lost art, if you will, in our church, in Christianity, and I think, out of everything in the Bible, just based off of Jesus' example. Obviously there's more to it, but just based off of his example. I think that, out of everything in the Bible or acts of surrender in the Bible, like one of the main things you can do to show you're surrendering to God is fasting, and that can be food. You know, like you said, we can get into a lot of it, like that could be a drink or whatever. You know you can obviously fast from differing things. There's things that waste your time, that waste time with you and god, that that maybe you fast with and essentially give up on or, yeah, decide not to do anymore. Uh, but I've, I've got that much farther down in my note. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know that I know some that have fasted social media and at times I think that's very needed.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I'm like, oh please, you know, the soda, the food, the whatever, you know it's whatever can be a hindrance. Can I interject something right here, and I'll let you continue. I don't mean to interrupt you. I always roll my eyes when people get on there and like, all right, guys, I'm leaving Facebook for a couple of, couple of weeks. I'm just like, just do it. No, why don't you just do it?
Speaker 1:I mean, you're like the people that paint their faces and make themselves look like they're fast, it's like that. It's like that hey, look at me, I'm so humble. It's like I'm. I'm going to talk about how little attention I require. I'm going to bring attention to how little attention I really need. I mean, that's part of it. You know when you're, you know this.
Speaker 1:In Isaiah 58, where I read that's what they were doing a lot of times. They kept bringing attention back around to it. Or in um, in matthew, you know there, it says that they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. So they were trying to do something holy, yeah. But they made it to the point where, like, oh man, that guy looks miserable. Hey, bro, are you all right? Man, I'm, I'm blessed to the Lord, but I've been fasting for a week now. But God is my strength and he's okay, we get it. You know we're not. Yes, god is your strength. Yes, god will be your help. But if you have to make yourself look miserable, so people ask you I've got a lot more questions I get that feeling on I can't, I'm going to keep going off on this.
Speaker 1:But I get that feeling on Facebook posts because it's like, what do you expect to happen? Like if you get on there and turn off comments and say that I'd still think it was kind of goofy anyway, but at least it's a little less goofy than keeping comments on where people are like what's going on, bro, what's wrong, man, I don't know. Just tired of it, just tired of all the drama. I have drama in my life, don't ask me. Yeah, I have drama in my life. Don't ask me, or else you're a gossiper. Yeah, exactly, you know.
Speaker 1:I do feel as though, through that type of surrender, you can fast from anything. I feel that, you know, although I believe the ultimate sacrifice really is is, um, is fasting from food. Uh, you know, I, I, I don't. I'm never going to say that you can't fast from, like social media or Facebook or whatever, but how many years can you go fasting from Facebook? You can go forever fasting from Facebook, not in today's world. Well, you can't. I'll argue that point. Well, you can. That doesn't mean that it's smart. I mean, if you deleted your Facebook today, you would never have to have a Facebook ever again. Like that's not. You're not depending on that for your life, whereas food and nourishment you are, and so I think some of that, though, comes back to the addiction side. Yeah, you know, I, I, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1:I know some people that, honestly and I mean I'll just say it I know some people that I think it would do them better oh yeah, to fast social media Right Than it would be to fast a meal. Yeah, myself included. They work out all the time. They're very healthy. They, you know, they watch what they eat, they're you know all their food is homegrown meals. Yeah, food is homegrown meals, but I mean, heaven forbid you say something that they disagree with. Yeah, all over you killing you, sorry, go ahead. No, you're fine, I agree with that.
Speaker 1:I think that I guess, in my from, what I think about when I think about fasting from food is you know, you need food to survive. You don't need Facebook to survive, obviously, you know. And so I think that that's why that sort of seems like the ultimate fast to an extent, and it does all depend on what you're depending on. I mean, I feel like I could fast. You know, a lot more often I've tried to fast for, like, diet reasons and hated it, cause it's like you're going okay, if I'm not fast, for God, I'm not fasting. I mean, I don't, we'll get that. There's a whole mental, psychological issue with that anyway. But I think you can fast from like video games, you can fast from from television. You can fast from from television, you can fast from your phone. You know if you, if you feel like and it doesn't have to be like days on end you know it's like if you, if you take time.
Speaker 1:And there's a really good book. I can't remember what the name of this book is now, man, I'll, I'll, uh, I'll try to find it and I'll put it up on the screen for you guys. But there's this book where it's. I mean, it's it's a little like 10, 15 page booklet and it's talking about this guy and his life and he has like this chart and he just goes through the 24 hour period of a day and he marks what he does within that time period and it's like eight hours sleep and then, you know, I eat breakfast for 30 minutes, I work for, however, however much time, and he just breaks it down like that. Well, in this booklet it has like a little place where you can write things in yourself and do the same thing, and I wrote stuff in and I was like I don't have time, but I'm also wasting a lot of time, and so there's obviously moments and we call it a fast, but you know, I don't know if that's the right phrase per se, but you know there are times where you can fast, and it doesn't have to be days on end, maybe it's just two hours and instead of, you know, watching YouTube or TikTok or scrolling through social media, you could pray or study or read a book, something you know.
Speaker 1:Do something for God in that time frame. I think God would bless you for that. Bishan, you know fasting and this is where I think you were trying to go with it, and if I'm off, then just tell me and I'll take it as what I'm saying. You were talking about the food being dependent. You know, we get so dependent on a lot of these things, right, and that's why I brought up the social media or the video games or whatever. We get so dependent on that kind of stuff. Yeah, fasting is not selfish, right, fasting is selfless. Yeah, fasting is selfless. Yeah. So if, if you're and I and I agree with the the food, you know, that's where a lot of the fasting came from. But if, if you're so bound up by the video games or the social media or or the coffee or whatever it is that that you can't function during the day without it.
Speaker 1:Right, then, setting that aside is is setting yourself out of the way, and I believe that's where God could see that Right You're. You're getting Sean out of the way. Yeah, I'm breaking me down. I'm saying it doesn't matter, I don't matter Overall, I do not matter. My feelings don't matter, yeah, my opinions. Don't matter what I think, doesn't matter my desires, don't matter what I want, nothing matters. It's me showing God I am debasing myself, because what we're doing in our lives and again, not everything wrong with this, but we're trying to further ourselves, we're trying to be better. We're trying to financially, spiritually, mentally, whatever we're trying to make ourselves grow so we can be better human beings, stronger human beings, wealthier human beings Right. But when you get Sean out of the way or whatever gets you out of the way, you're actually for lack of my scale is not, but you're trying to do this and then you're just like wait, god, I'm really not. Yeah, god, I'm going to show you where I need to be. Yeah, yeah, and I know those scales. They're different scales, but that's what we're doing. Yeah, when you're doing that is, you're saying, hey, let me get me out of the way. And in Isaiah 58, verses three through 5, they were trying to just continue to make themselves look better. In it all, that was verses 3 through 5.
Speaker 1:If you continue reading 6 and 7, is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free and that ye break every yoke? This fast here is the selfless fast. Yeah, we're loosening the bonds of wickedness. We're helping those that are heavy burdened. We're loosening the bonds of wickedness. We're helping those that are heavy burdened. We're freeing oppression. We're breaking the chains. Yeah, we're feeding the hungry. We're bringing the poor in. We're clothing the naked. It's a helpful fast. It is showing the true love of Christ that we know. Yeah, it's being the example set before us.
Speaker 1:Fasting can be selfish or it can be selfless, and that's where we need to be. A lot of times is. I think it's a question we need to ask ourselves when we're fasting is am I being selfish or am I being selfless? Right, right, and it has a lot, and everything with what you're saying has a lot to you. Depending on God, you know, depending on him training your body to depend on him, training your mind to depend on him, training your mind to depend on him, training your spirit to depend on him.
Speaker 1:I do again interject something here, but and then I'll come back to that point that those points that you're making but you know you had mentioned earlier about people in the Bible that, would you know, make themselves look like they were just miserable. You know that, like, oh, I've been fasting so that people would ask me that I was fasting so I could tell them that I was fasting. That bothered me when I read that it says of a sad countenance, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear in a men to fast. Yeah Right, disfiguring your face? Yeah, just to look holy, so you can get recognized as being holy. Yeah, well, I want to.
Speaker 1:The reason I brought that up a second time is because I wanted to interject something here and it's kind of funny. But you, there's nothing wrong, but this is sort of a preface or caveat, whatever. I don't believe there's anything wrong with telling someone that you're fasting, not going and saying, hey, man, I'm fasting today. But some people are so worried about it. It's like like one time I was, uh, morgan's great grandma. Um, you know, we loved her very much, but she, she passed away early last year, I think it might've been. It's actually might've been like a year and a half ago now, um, two years ago, something like that.
Speaker 1:But anyway, I remember one time we were at my wife, my mother-in-law's house, and she was there. She was sitting on the couch. They had just made like a tortilla soup or something, and I told her I was like I'm going to go make you a bowl, you know, no, no, no, no, no, no. And so, yeah, of course, don't get up, I'm going to make you a bowl. No, no, no, no, no, it's fine.
Speaker 1:And someone pulled me and said she's, she's fasting, you know, and, um, I thought that I got kind of a kick out of that, because she's just, you know, the sweet old lady trying to not look like a Pharisee or not look like someone who's made herself appear to be holy. Um, but I, I say all that to say, you know, you don't, you don't have to do that, like there's nothing wrong and it's not like you're denying your flesh any less or that God's all of a sudden not going to listen to your prayer If you say, no, I can't do that. Today I'm fasting, you know. So I wanted to throw that out there, but then I wanted to go.
Speaker 1:There's, yeah, there's absolutely a point. Yeah, you know, I agree with that. Yeah, you know, I, I agree with that. Yeah, you know, you can make yourself look more of a fool, you know, you could have sat there and argued with your great grandmother for 10 minutes over a dumb bowl, yeah, and then, you know, eventually you probably would have showed up with it. And then now, now she has a bowl of soup sitting in front of her. Now she's stuck with the choice yeah, do I let it sit here and go to waste or do I eat it and break my fast? Now, because I've told God, you know, yeah, there's absolutely a point. And I don't think like in her, like she's one of the greatest women of God that I knew, but like I know she wasn't meaning any ill intention.
Speaker 1:But I do know people that are like that, that they sort of um, it's like a, it's like reverse psychology. For them it's like no, I can't, you know. And then they're like wanting people to ask them so that they can tell them that fasting is like dude, just say I can't, I'm fasting, like that's as easy as that. But I wanted to go back to to like what you were Don't look at me, don't look at me, I'm fasting. I wanted to go back to that because that is, that is something that physical, that that biblical fasting is not. You know, we don't fast for appearances or to look holy, we don't. I like that that you had mentioned that it's like they disfigured their face and Jesus was just like go wash your face. You know that's his answer. Like go wash your face, because that's not fasting. That's not the point of fasting to make you look holier.
Speaker 1:But something I wanted to mention with that is you know, fasting is not a way to get on God's good side or to earn points. It's not a way to get a better response to your prayers. Like a lot of people take fasting and they're like man, if I fast for 50 days over this, then God's going to give me the answer that I need no, um can. Can he do that? Sure can you fast on behalf of something? I believe that you can, but to feel or believe that if I give up whatever it is, that all of a sudden I'm in God's, um, I'm, I'm better in God's, or I'm more in God's grace, or that I'm more accepted by him, or that I've got you know little point systems in heaven and at some point it's like a grocery store I'm going to be able to use those reward points for something in the future. Like that's not what the point of fasting is. That's not what fasting is in the future. Like that's not what the point of fasting is. That's not what fasting is, and I think that a lot of people confuse fasting with something that can be used to get God to answer your prayers. But it's so much more than even that. It is like you said. It's that act of surrendering to God, to what I believe is to do his will, which is to help those who are hungry and help the poor, and to deny me so that God's work can be fulfilled in my life.
Speaker 1:If you keep reading that Isaiah, chapter 58, verses eight through 11, says then shall that light break forth as the morning and thine health shall spring forth speedily and thy righteousness shall go before thee. The glory of the Lord shall be thy reward. Excuse me. Then shalt thou call and the Lord shall answer. Thou shalt cry and he shall say here I am, if thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and speaking vanity, and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise in obscurity and thy darkness be as the noonday, and the Lord shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy soul in drought and make fat thy bones, and thou shall be like a watered garden and like a spring out of water whose waters fail, not so there. I mean, there's several promises in there.
Speaker 1:You know of things that can and will come, and I believe yeah, you know I of things that can and will come, and I believe you know you've already mentioned it, but I believe that we do need to make that a regular part of our lives. But it's not, it's not just I'm just reiterating what you said, I know, but it's not just the point system. You know, the part of one part about these scriptures that kind of got my attention was you know, when you think about fasting, it's, it's something about me. You know what's? I got something going on. Lord, help me, help me, help me, and that is a part of it.
Speaker 1:This is talking about, you know, taking the hungry, satisfying the afflicted souls, clothing the naked, helping the poor. You know it's creating a better Christian out of you so you can do more of the will of God and what he wants. Yeah, you know, make it a regular part of your life, For when we need him, he's already there. Yeah, that's something that I wrote down and I read it several times. You know I've been guilty of it. I'll go and I'll fast when I need God. Right now, lord, I need you to show up right now, god, it's an emergency. I've got to have you right now, lord, where, if it's a regular part of my life, I'm drawing closer to Christ. So when the need arises, whether it's for me and my family or whether it's for you and your family, I've already got a connection established here where I can say Lord, yeah, it's not, it's not Lord. It's been a minute since I talked to you, but Lord, it's me again. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we think about Jesus going and starting his ministry. Yeah, I mean he fasted. I mean think about Jesus going and starting his ministry. I mean he fasted. I mean think about that. It's like we expect to just go headfirst into ministry, whatever that may look like, without, like we were talking about denying us, and so you have to consider that, make it a part of your daily routine. And you know, brother Sean, I can't sit up here and lie to people. I don't feel like I do a good enough job in that in my daily routine. You know, I feel like I could do much more and I could fast more often and from different things. And you know I wouldn't say I never try. I do, you know, and sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail, but you know it's something that I feel like you know in my own life I could definitely work on and I pray that someone listening to this could also work on that and hopefully get a better understanding of what fasting is in this episode. But we wanted to thank you all. I don't know if you had anything else before we close, but I wanted to thank you. Everyone who's listening and all the support that we've had over these years Really really appreciate that.
Speaker 1:Some of you are probably kind of wondering about the setup. We are changing so many things about the podcast. The background is actually going to be we keep trying new things, seeing what's going to stay. We are trying. We've got ideas. We're trying Trump right now. That's just my own wall. Like that's my own personal wall. It has nothing to do with the podcast. I'll have to show you your dad on there sometime for the audience. They'd get a kick out of that.
Speaker 1:But I wanted to mention a couple of things. Our virtual youth class it's sort of turned into just like a virtual class. I guess the word youth I use that very loosely because we have ranges everywhere from like 17 year old, 18 year olds to, like, I think, the old well, I won't say the oldest in our class, but we'll just say 17 to 45. Okay, so it's somewhere between there. But any, if anyone wants to, if you're above that, he'll welcome you to. Yeah, I'll, I'll, I'm fine with it. Someone was like, you know is am I probably too old for this? I'm like, no Like. Are you ever too old to learn the Bible class? We're discussing several topics. We'll actually probably be discussing one the evening of the time that you get this or watch this podcast.
