“Is fasting a Christian thing?”
This was a question asked by a young adult as he tried fasting for the first time because a podcast had highlighted its health benefits.
“It’s just when I fasted, I realised how not in control I am, how selfish I am. It made me ask questions I hadn’t before.”
Trying fasting was his doorway into exploring faith.
We are living in a moment where many people are searching for meaning, and ways to better themselves. It’s why figures like Chris Williamson, Andrew Huberman and Steven Bartlett attract massive audiences. They all explore how you can live the best life possible. They often suggest practices, like fasting, without realising these are actually ancient Christian practices, meant to point you to Jesus.
Into this cultural moment, we’ve launched Ethos.
Ethos is a free digital pathway for the spiritually curious, helping them discover how ancient practices rooted in the way of Jesus can reshape who they’re becoming.
