Fasting Miracles with Client Julie Balmer

Mar 26, 2026

“But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.

– John 5:17

Have you ever wondered what could happen if fasting became more than a way to lose weight—and instead became a powerful offering to God? Many women struggle for decades with weight, discouragement, and the feeling that lasting change is impossible. But when fasting is united with prayer and purpose, something remarkable can happen—not just in the body, but in the soul.

In this episode of The Delay and Pray Podcast, I sit down with Delay and Pray coaching client Julie Balmer, who shares her extraordinary journey through spiritual fasting. After struggling with weight for more than forty years and feeling trapped in family patterns of obesity, Julie discovered the Delay and Pray method through the podcast and began practicing it on her own. Around the same time, after an eight-year spiritual journey, she converted to Catholicism. Julie shares how these two paths—faith and fasting—came together to completely transform her mindset, her health, and her relationship with God.

Julie has lost 35 pounds, eliminated joint pain, gained energy, and found freedom from sugar and flour—but the greatest change has been spiritual. In our conversation, she shares how tools like The Thought Model, daily journaling, renewing the mind, and fasting with powerful intentions helped her experience hope and lasting transformation. Her story is a beautiful reminder that fasting, when united with prayer, can become a powerful way to serve God, grow in holiness, and bless the people we love.
