Ever felt like fasting was more like a terrible torture instead of holy sacrifice? Join the club.
But it doesn’t have to be like that. In fact, it’s not supposed to be like that.
Done correctly, fasting is supposed to fit into a spiritual rhythm of life that powerfully affects both your body and soul.
Drawing upon ancient spirituality, modern science, and the cycle of life from previous centuries, Dr. Jay Richards has written a fantastic book titled Eat Fast Feast: Heal Your Body While Feeding Your Soul, which we dive into in this episode of the Art of Catholic.
It’s a highly informative discussion in which he shares the secrets of powerful, manageable fasting (and feasting!) that transforms both your spiritual life and your body.
Yes, you’ll hear some amazing info on how to radically change your shape, but this isn’t a conversation about some faddy diet. Not even close.
It’s a guide to deeper integration between your interior and exterior life that introduces you to a whole new way to living.
