Fasting and Feasting: A Divine Balance

Eating disorders are increasingly prevalent, particularly in Western culture, while the obsession with biohacking and extreme fitness practices has risen. These two trends highlight the need for a holistic approach to health that promotes inner peace and connection with God. Fasting emerges as a significant spiritual practice rooted in the way of Jesus, which not only encourages a healthier relationship with food and the body but also fosters a deeper spiritual awareness. Jesus is depicted as someone who engaged in communal meals, emphasizing the importance of both fasting and feasting in achieving balance and accessing divine presence and power.
