Are Christians Still Supposed to Fast? | Red Couch Theology

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.

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.

Is that what he's up to behind the scenes? Is he dangling temptations before our faces, wondering if we'll stumble and fall? These are the kinds of questions we're going to wrestle with today. So, let's dive in.
