Fasting for the Purpose of Godliness

Walking Points Podcast: Episode 20

​How well and/or often do you practice the spiritual discipline of fasting? While recently studying the Sermon on the Mount, some of the men in our small group were surprised to read the words of Jesus, "when you fast..." His teaching on the subject carried with it the expectation that his followers would be practicing it. And yet, as small as the amount of Christians who regularly pray is, those who regularly fast is even smaller. Yikes!

On this week's episode, Ian and I interact with Donald Whitney's great chapter on fasting from his book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. I think it's fair to say Ian and I were both convicted to more faithfully pursue this spiritual discipline in our lives. Whitney provides some wonderful guidance toward that end.

You can order Whitney's book by clicking here. It really is a very fine book. I've used it twice with my church's men's groups.

​Enjoy this week's podcast,

Walking Points Podcast: Episode 19

Father's Day was this past Sunday and so Ian and I thought it would be a good idea to talk about... fatherhood. In particular, we interact with an article on Crosswalk.com entitled, Ten Tips for First-Time Dad by Whitney Hopler. What we both realized was that this was wisdom for all dads (and moms), not just first-timers. So enjoy today's episode of Walking Points.

Walking Points Podcast: Episode 16

​This week Ian and I compare our physical health and fitness with our spiritual health and fitness. In particular, we discuss eight areas that are good to have a handle on at the beginning of the journey. And, in the event we didn't learn those things at the beginning of our walk with Christ, it's good to learn them now.

​The article I refer to in the podcast can be found here.

Enjoy the podcast.
