This episode explores why religious leaders questioned Jesus about fasting and how Jesus answered with parables: the bridegroom, the torn garment, and the new wine in new wineskins. The hosts discuss how fasting is meant to shift your focus to God, how timing matters (feasting while the bridegroom is present, fasting afterward), and how rigid traditions can block the new work of the Spirit.They also talk about practical, modern approaches to fasting—such as giving up social media, starting with half-day fasts, and using the urge to eat or scroll as a trigger to pray—and acknowledge physical limits and health concerns that make some types of fasting unsuitable for everyone.The conversation emphasizes accountability in Bible study and spiritual growth, the need for churches to be biblically rooted yet open to fresh methods, and encouragement to use fasting as a tool to deepen prayer and reshape habits in a distracted digital age.LIKING OUR PODCAST?   WE'D SO APPRECIATE A REVIEW ON YOUR PODCAST STATION or at www.ThoseCrazyBibleStudyGuys.com HELP US GET OUR CRAZY ON!  WE THANK YOU!Venmo us at @ThoseCrazyBibleStudyGuyFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!   X - https://x.com/CrazyBibleGuys Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/those.crazy.bible.study.guys Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/those_crazy_bible_study_guys/
