Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and Megan Fletcher. In this episode Megan (FCA missionary coach) shares her first-hand experience with fasting—how a weekly 24-hour fast, prayer walks, accountability, and focusing on Scripture have helped her hunger for God rather than for temporary comforts. She also explains practical alternatives (fasting from social media or a favorite habit), cautions about season-of-life limits, and the heart of fasting: creating space for Christ, not seeking approval.
4 R action steps
- Read: Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 slowly (and consider Matthew 5:6 and John 6). Pay attention to words like rejoice, pray, and give thanks.
- Reflect: Ask: What do I turn to for quick comfort? Where can I intentionally make space for God this week? Who could join me for accountability?
- Respond: Brief prayer — Heavenly Father, you are the delight of our lives. Help us focus our thoughts on you, give us strength as we fast, and draw us closer to you. Amen.
- Reveal: Choose a practical fast (half day, full day, or a technology fast), do it with a friend, take a prayer walk, then share what God taught you with someone else.
