It's January so everyone's talking about fasting! Churches are doing corporate fasts, Organizations are running sugar fasts. People have cleared out their pantries of all foods that aren't legal on the Daniel Fast and stocked their fridges with vegetables they'll only ever eat in January. Today, Heather digs into fasting. Is fasting good? Should we be fasting? What is the purpose of fasting? Heather challenges listeners with the real purpose of fasting and offers cautions for those who have a history with eating disorders or disordered eating who try to fast.  Heather also challenges listeners with the truth of scripture in regards to the Daniel Fast. Heather takes a deep dive into the story of Daniel and what happened when Daniel and his friends refused to eat the king's rich food. Why did they do it? What was their purpose in fasting from these foods? What happened to their bodies when they fasted? Heather looks at the surprising truth of scripture that reveals how their fast actually made them "fatter in the flesh." Here's the episode Heather referenced with Amy Carlson from last year: https://omny.fm/shows/compared-to-who/should-i-fast-if-i-had-an-eating-disorder-a-look-a Heather ends the episode by encouraging listeners to have a vision for their lives that is bigger than themselves and their bodies. Here are some of the hot topics from today's episode: The Spiritual Reasons for Fasting The Daniel Fast Sugar fasts The one question you need to ask yourself before you fast or while you're fasting Should people with eating disorders or a history of an eating disorder fast? How we can serve and honor God through fasting and other spiritual disciplines.

Episode Summary: Have you ever fasted from sugar? In this podcast replay, Wendy Speake and I talk about the benefits of a sugar fast. Wendy is the author of The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation. You won't want to miss the insights Wendy shares on breaking free from sugar addiction for lasting spiritual transformation. Some of the benefits may surprise you! Mark your calendar: Wendy is hosting an online 40-day sugar fast beginning 1-2-2024.   Quotables from the Episode: Unfortunately, no sugar fix can fix you. When we stop going from sugar high to sugar high, we turn to the Most High. The goal of fasting is always to lay down that which is temporary and pick up that which is eternal. Let every hunger pain act like church bells calling you to pray. Fasting from anything reminds us of what we want to hunger for. When we run to things to satisfy, they hold us back from His strong hold on us. Trust God to do what he's going to do before he does it. Shout the victory in advance, obey, and watch what God does with your submission. Take out the temptation before tempted. The first step, before fasting, seek first the kingdom of God. He will change our health with a diet, but our life with a fast. Our desire is to find Christ as the only option. When we turn to Him to be our joy and peace, we don't need the sugar. Fasting is about turning away from anything that gets between our relationship with God, and turning back to Him. Sometimes you need to go fast in order to slow down. The power of fasting is stopping and watching God deliver us. Fasting opens the door for the supernatural work of God. Keep in mind, with fasting, this is going to hurt before it feels better. Fasting isn't easy—this is just the brand of your hard in this season. As you seek Him first, He'll transform other areas of your life as well, bringing renewed hope. Scripture References: Psalm 34:8-10 NIV “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The Lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who see the Lord lack no good thing.” Jonah 2:8 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God's love for them.” Matthew 6:33 “These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.” Joel 2:12 “That is why the Lord says, ‘Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.'” Jeremiah 15:16 “Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart.”   Recommended Resources:  The 40-Day Feast: Taste and See the Goodness of God's Word by Wendy Speake The 40-Day Social Media Fast: Exchange Your Online Distraction for Real-Life Devotion By Wendy Speake The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation by Wendy Speake The 40-Day Fast Journal: A Journey to Spiritual Transformation by Wendy Speake Triggers: Exchanging Parents' Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses by Wendy Speake Parenting Scripts: When What You're Saying Isn't Working, Say Something New by Wendy Speake A New Year's Revolution: The 40 Day Sugar Fast It's Time for a Social Media Fast Benefits of Taking a Break from Social Media – Episode 85 The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms   Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the Christian Literary Awards Reader's Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

Episode Summary: Today we’re going to be talking about how we can exchange our physical addictions to food/sugar for spiritual transformations. My guest today is friend, Wendy Speake, author of The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation. Today we’ll explore what is fasting, why should we consider it, and what are some of the surprising benefits. Quotables from the episode: Sugar is a stronghold for many people. Unfortunately, no sugar fix can fix you. When we stop going from sugar high to sugar high, we turn to the Most High. The goal of fasting is always to lay down that which is temporary and pick up that which is eternal. Let every hunger pain act like church bells calling you to pray.

Do you like dessert? The Williams' family sure does! Pass the ice cream please!However, starting many years ago, we learned a discipline that has affected our family from head to toe. A month-long August "sugar fast" has become one of our annual traditions - - - and this discipline has entirely affected our family's character. This year we completed our fifteenth annual sugar fast, and, in this podcast, I (Tosha Williams) talk about some of the ways it has been so important for us.Maybe you think you could NEVER go a day, much less a month, without sugar. Maybe you think there is NO WAY your kids could ever go without multiple daily "treats." I would have thought the same thing. But, after 15 years, I want to encourage you that we serve the God of the impossible - - - and we can do all things through God who gives us strength. And as we do all things through His strength, we find we have new strengths we never even knew were possible.Take a listen and see what God would have to say to you through this podcast today! Then have a conversation with those entrusted to you about what He would have you do!_________This podcast is a personal story of Tosha Williams, the founder of Family Disciple Me.

Teresa McMillan is a leader and mentor for the World Race, a program for 21 to 35 year olds to travel to 11 countries in 11 months all while getting discipled and witnessing on the go. Today Teresa shares her transformation story to help build up listeners faith and to empower you to be the hands and feet of Jesus right where you are too. Introduction to Teresa (3:00) Teresa grew up Asheville North Carolina, was raised catholic, and never knew Jesus though she did go to church because her parents wanted her to.  From age 14 and on she pursued a buckwild life but around 22 years old had a pivotal moment in her spiritual journey. In that moment, a stranger approached her and asked if she was a Christian. This person in particular challenged her thinking in love, and shared the gospel with her in a way she had never understood before. Shortly after, Teresa decided to write a letter to God asking for the opportunity to know Him more and to be able to share about Him the rest of her life. A Special Letter (4:45)   One day as Teresa worked in a J&S cafeteria, she received a piece of paper that had a typed letter saying something along the lines of, “Dear friend I love you, I miss you, and saw you go to sleep last night. Love, Jesus.” This letter in particular reminded Teresa of how real Jesus was and how He wanted to be so close with her. A True Friend (8:00) Teresa is still friends with the pastor that shared the gospel with her and occasionally speaks at the church to help inspire and empower the local body. 20 Seconds of Insane Courage (8:30) Carrie pitches the idea that sometimes all it takes is 20 seconds of insane courage to share the gospel with individuals you find yourself around. A Dream Come True (9:30) Teresa had a desire to go and share her faith to the world, and this is what God has led her into. Wisdom From Teresa (11:30) See the person in front of you, notice them, and ask God what they need to know today. It’s all about taking it one person at a time. Teresa shares that evangelism can look different every time. Maybe it’s telling a person for 15 seconds that Jesus loves them, but it’s also sitting for 6 hours talking with the muslim family about who Christ is. Teresa also encourages listeners to be interruptible, to be open and available, to allow the holy spirit to move in and through you. Hearing the Voice of God (13:00) Sometimes it can be challenging to discern the voice of the Lord verses your own voice. Sometimes you may hear a voice in your head say “hey, stop what you’re doing and go talk to that person”. Even if you may have heard wrong, it’s still a beautiful thing to share the love of Jesus with someone else. God delights in our willingness and heart for obedience. Make sure to give yourself extra grace! You never know until you try. Cross Cultural Missions Verses the USA (15:00) There seems to be a thinking in the Christian culture that evangelism in the United States is more difficult that evangelism overseas. Teresa shares that it’s not one or the other, both are just different. There is an intense intentionality overseas, while most evangelism for her in America happens in the day to day while eating at a restaurant, uber driving, waiting at an airport, and other moments like that. This is not to say intentional outreach doesn't happen in the United States, because it most certainly does! A Global Revival (18:00) Teresa shares that she almost exploded at the send and it was a dream come true to see many people gathered and worshipping Jesus. She believes God is creating a wider capacity in her to be more bold in evangelism and on fire for God. Sugar Fast (20:30) Teresa elaborates on how this 40 day fast from sugar is serving her. Crushed (21:30) After a sister dying and Dad committing suicide, the grief process was excruciating and Teresa felt like she was going to die. But in that time, she overcame and found true hope in Christ no matter what. Suffering Produces Hope (25:00) We all need God to renew our minds on a daily basis. A couple good questions to ask God during times of difficulty are “God what was that?” and “Hey God, why did this happen?” When we hear God minister to our hearts, it changes everything. We encourage you to invite Him into the process. The World Race (27:00) Content manager, Kailey Mattarella did the World Race and that is how Carrie and Teresa were initially connected. The world race is a branch off of the Adventures in Missions organization which provides opportunity for people of all ages to embark on missional journeys around the world, while being discipled along the way. Impressively, there are currently over 480 ministry Adventures in Missions partners around the world. Radically Changed (30:00) Teresa shares how she gets to see lives radically changed not only across the globe, but within America too. World Race America (30:30) For a long time Teresa had a dream to bring the gospel into the nations and through the new opportunity known as “World Race America” this dream has come true. Turn to Jesus  (31:00) If you are someone that has never started a relationship with Jesus, we encourage you to start one today. God wants to be close and you don’t need to do anything but simply come as you are. Teresa is someone who had never read the bible before she gave her life to Christ but knew in her spirit it was the best decision she could ever make. Following Jesus will be hard, but it most certainly is choosing the best life. It is in all of our best interest to live for the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the one who loves us through it all.

Be sure to let us know how the Holy Spirit reveals to you something brand new! On this first episode of season 3, Kalie Kelch joins me again to chat about where we've been, where we're going, and how to live to brave together with each other . . . specifically, how we're using Brave Together as our study guide in the More to Be Tribe Facebook group this year. If you've not yet joined us, we'd love to have you jump on in here!In this episode, I also unpack the beautiful of biblical mentoring and fostering parakaleo relationships peer to peer and older to younger. We head back to Titus 2 for a refresher on mentoring as well as diving into the description of what church should look like in Acts 2 and then turn to Romans 12 unpack how to live out love with one another. This episode will cast a vision for how you can grow even more devoted to God and those He has perfectly placed in your life.

Could you imagine spending 40 days fasting from sugar while feasting on Jesus?Maybe you've never fasted before.Maybe feasting on Jesus sounds a little weird.Maybe you're not sure that you can say no to sugar much less anything else that has a stronghold over you.Well, sister, you're not alone. That's where I was 365 days ago. But God allowed me to get so desperate with my health in order to discover an area of my heart that needed grave attention. In July 2018, I dove into a Whole30 journey to get to the root cause of my health issues, only to discover that behind the health was a heart desperately in need of attention. I was addicted to sugar and comfort food was my idol of security. As the truth burst forth, I knew there was no going back.Six months later, I'm not only 25 pounds lighter, but I'm also spiritually and emotionally freer -- and that by-product is worth the journey. My sugar dragon still wants to dominate, but in Christ, I've found the power to say no. I've found the strength and motivation to say no.I've found freedom in Christ that I never tasted before. No pun intended.The invitation stands before you, my friend to embrace freedom too. Come join me on the 40-day Sugar Fast led by author, speaker, and this episode's special guest, Wendy Speake, which kicks off on January 7, 2019. Even if you don't believe sugar is your issue, I urge you to join in this season of discovering how to feast more on Jesus and less on everything else. Wendy has prepared for you a soul-deep journey through God's Word and a community steeped in authenticity and accountability. I'm grateful to be on the leadership team this year and experience my first sugar fast with Wendy.On this episode, Wendy and I chat about what fasting is and is not, what causes hangups in our fasting endeavors, and how to break strongholds through fasting. Wendy is a grace-filled guide filled with holy boldness. You'll not want to miss out on this opportunity and you'll want to bookmark it for future reference. It is that good, especially for those us of who need to learn and practice fasting as a spiritual discipline. I pray you'll be as blessed as I am to sit under Wendy's teaching.
