Today on The Bible Show Daily, we unpack Jesus’ teaching on fasting from Matthew 6:16–18—what fasting is, why it’s linked to prayer, and how it reorients our hunger toward God. We explore Old Testament purposes (repentance, deliverance, humility), reflect on Jesus’ own example of fasting, and share practical ways to start (yes, even putting it on your calendar). Stick around for a short prayer and an invitation to try a focused fast this week. If this helps, please like, comment with your takeaways, and subscribe for more daily Bible reflections.
