Have you ever fasted? If so, what kind of experience was it for you? Did it draw closer to God? How so? Or was it so miserable it made you wonder why anyone in their right mind would ever fast? 

What does skipping a meal or two have to do with God anyhow? 

In this episode looks at Jesus' critique of one mispractice of fasting and offers some guideline for why and how we should practice it.
