The Joy of Fasting feat. Dr. Scott Hahn

Anyone else totally lose steam at this point in Lent? It's not Holy Week yet and the "smells and bells" of special liturgies haven't arrived. And TBH I'm busy and the excitement of growth at the outset of Ash Wednesday wore off weeks ago. If you're like me, you will absolutely LOVE my interview with the inimitable Dr. Scott Hahn. There's so much more to fasting than giving up: It will increase our JOY. It unites us in brotherhood to the millions of people in our Universal Church who have fasted throughout the centuries. Give this a listen to gear you up for Holy Week; it won't disappoint! Topics Discussed How to find joy in fasting Discerning when you've taken your resolutions too far (or not far enough) Fasting for those suffering from body image anxiety Collectively building the Kingdom of God through fasting Does fasting "prove" our faith to God?
