A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube talk (creator: Dr. Tabatha Barber) advocating fasting as a way to heal both body and spirit. The speaker emphasizes ‘feeding’ faith instead of indulging in processed/man-made foods, arguing that fasting reconnects or strengthens one’s relationship with God and helps resist earthly temptations.
I truly believe that we need to heal our bodies and our spirit. And the way to do that is we fast our bodies and we feed our spirit, we feed our faith. If we focus on feeding our faith and not our mouths and our bodies with all these franken foods and all this, you know, man made stuff that we've created that we're all addicted to, we can get reconnected with God. We can reestablish that relationship, or if it's there, we can strengthen it. And having the strength to say, I choose God instead, because I know that that earthly temptation doesn't serve me or the plan that has been so freeing.
