Do you treat prayer like a grocery list, only asking God for things while your heart stays restless and unhappy? Have you ever wondered if prayer is actually meant to be a way to talk to God and find real peace? Did you know that the way you talk to God often reflects how honest and vulnerable you are willing to be with the people around you? It’s time to stop running toward the next thing and start finding the stability that’s been waiting in the silence all along.

They say fasting gives you unlimited energy and zen-like focus, but they forgot to mention that you’ll spend 18 hours a day staring at pictures of bacon on Instagram 😂

In this episode, Cody and I break down the incredible physical and spiritual benefits we’ve seen, balanced against the emotional trauma of missing out on late night snacks. It’s a deep dive into an Ancient practice, hosted by two people who just really, really want a cheeseburger!

In this episode, we tackle:

• The Highs: Why we actually feel better than ever (when we aren't smelling fries).
• The Science: A layman’s look at why our bodies love a break from Golden Corral.
• The Struggle: Navigating a world that seems to be made entirely of carbs.
• The Spiritual Side: Finding discipline in the empty space.

Grab a glass of water (it’s basically a meal, right?) and join us for the hungriest hour in podcasting.

In this episode, Cody and I challenge the modern addiction to constant stimulation by asking when you last sat in total silence, no screens, no books, and no noise, just to sharpen your mind in the presence of God. We explore how stripping away the world's input creates a rare, honest space where you can finally express your rawest emotions, even those feelings you’ve been afraid to admit to Him or yourself. By leaning into the quiet, we discuss how silence isn't just an absence of sound, but a powerful tool for spiritual clarity and the ultimate freedom of being 100% transparent with the Creator.
