His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

Catholic Spiritual Fasting is more than just a temporary approach to food—it’s a sustainable lifestyle that brings lasting freedom in Christ.

In this episode, Beth explores the key lessons from Chapter One of her book Delay and Pray®, emphasizing the importance of breaking free from ingrained thought patterns and unhealthy habits. The episode sheds light on how fasting is not merely about weight loss but about growing closer to God and serving others through sacrifice.

Many people struggle with emotional eating, bingeing, and dependence on food as a source of comfort. Beth explains how spiritual fasting can help us detach from sugar, flour, and alcohol in a way that strengthens both body and soul.

Choosing Christ before sugar is not just about moderation – it’s about aligning personal health goals with a greater spiritual purpose. The discussion also highlights the cultural challenges of daily indulgence and the importance of embracing a path of virtue through prayer and fasting.

Listeners are encouraged to explore these concepts further by downloading the first chapter of Delay and Pray® or purchasing the book following the link below. Next week’s episode will continue the series with Chapter Two, offering deeper insights into spiritual fasting and personal transformation.
