Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we're talking about fasting and Man Alive I was fascinated by this conversation with Alex about fasting. He makes a really interesting case. If you're not interested in fasting, then this episode is probably not for you because he's, he makes a compelling case that fasting is a very neglected spiritual practice that has some unique power. So if you don't want to fast, then maybe you shouldn't listen because he might actually challenge you to do so. So, I would encourage you to listen. It's super fascinating. Let's dive in.
