Have you ever wondered how to fast as a Christian woman? Maybe you've tried fasting for health reasons or followed what the world says about it—but it left you feeling confused, discouraged, or spiritually disconnected. You want to draw closer to God. You want to steward your body well. But you're not sure what fasting should actually look like for a Christian.

In today's episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I'm giving you a step-by-step, Bible-based guide to fasting that's filled with grace, purpose, and truth.

You'll learn: 

  • The 5 biblical reasons Christian women fast
  • The 4 types of fasting and how to know which one is right for your season
  • Scriptures that will give you clarity and courage
  • How spiritual fasting is completely different from diet culture
  • What the latest science says about fasting and fitness
  • How to fast with purpose—not pressure—and experience deeper intimacy with God

This episode will help you break through the confusion and legalism around fasting and learn how to do it God's way—with intention, wisdom, and a heart that's focused on Him.
