About this episode
"What if fasting could break our hearts open to the suffering of the world and move us to action?" John Mark explores the connection between fasting and justice, urging us to consider how this ancient practice can realign our hearts with God's care for the poor. He challenges us to move beyond a self-focused spirituality and enter into a deeper solidarity with those in need.
