In this episode of the Bennett Broadcast, Matt Bennett unpacks the biblical practice of fasting—what it is, why it matters, and how it can radically deepen your relationship with the Lord. Drawing from Scripture, including Deuteronomy 8, James 4, Isaiah 57, and powerful examples from Jehoshaphat, Nehemiah, Esther, and the early church, Matt explains how fasting humbles us before God and opens the door to greater grace, breakthrough, and spiritual power. Matt also clears up common misconceptions—why fasting isn't legalism, how it differs from a "privation" like a Daniel fast or social media break, and practical guidance on how to fast in a way that's both biblically faithful and physically wise. Drawing from decades of personal experience and two revivals he's witnessed firsthand, Matt shares why he believes a return to fasting is essential for personal renewal, family breakthrough, and national revival. 00:00 Introduction: The Transformative Power of Fasting 01:43 What Is Fasting and Why We Do It 02:51 The Primary Tool for Humility 04:06 Conditional Grace: Drawing Near to God 05:08 God Dwells with the Humble 05:55 Biblical Examples: Revelation and Breakthrough 07:18 Jehoshaphat's Fast: National Deliverance 08:21 Old Testament Fasting Heroes 09:21 Personal Testimony: 40-Day Fasts and Campus Revival 10:05 Practical Fasting: Health Considerations and Regular Practice 11:03 Fasting and Revival Throughout History 11:39 Understanding Biblical Fasting vs. Privation 12:18 Addressing Misconceptions: Fasting Is Not Legalism 13:42 The Difference Between Fasting and Privation 16:06 Types of Fasts: Water, Liquid, and One Meal 17:10 The Decline of Western Fasting Practices 18:34 Resources and Books on Fasting 18:51 Testimonies of Breakthrough and Revival 19:46 Invitation: August National Fast with Christian Union 20:38 Closing Prayer and Encouragement 21:27 Outro: Join the Movement Website: https://christianunion.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Christian.Union Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christian.union/ X: https://x.com/ChristianUnion LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/christian.unionflightcast:01KXG1WQZQ10GRSE9ECZ599SY3Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:08:00 -0000Is fasting the missing piece in your walk with God?
