I’m going to be totally honest … for a long time I had the wrong perception about fasting. And the first time I fasted, my motives and reasons were all wrong.
But fasting has become such an important practice in my life and on this episode of Lessons From The Farm, I’m sharing what I’ve learned.
I admit, I’m not the expert on fasting and there’s no way in one episode we could cover it all. But, as I always try to do, I’m inviting you to the Fixer Upper Farm to lean in and listen to a simple teaching about this topic.
Also, I’m tackling some of the questions you sent it via social media about fasting.
Questions like ..
How long should I fast for?
What types of fasts are there?
Do I have to fast from food to actually be “fasting”?
This is an incredibly important lesson for our Soul Cleaning series so, I invite you to carve out a few minutes and listen in as we learn together about fasting. After you listen, I’d love to hear your thoughts and any other questions about this topic here on the blog in the comment section.
So go ahead, hit play below or head to iTunes and listen to this teaching.
Also, here are the links to the resources I mention on this episode:

Thank you so much Nicki. This is something I have never done and have wanted to understand more. I appreciate your openness and the resource.
My joy! Thanks for listening!
Thank you so much for always being so open, honest and genuine. It’s helps me to know that I’m not the only one that struggles with fasting. I often think I’m disappointing God when actually I just don’t understand the whole concept. But what you taught today made some things much clearer to me. Thank you for the wisdom you give back to us from what God gives you ♥️
So thankful to hear this! Thanks for hanging out with me today!
Nicki, I just love all your blogs and podcasts. Thank you for this awesome podcast today on fasting. This has truly I spited me to look further into it and start praying about fasting myself. Who knows, maybe I’ll be joining you in August for the 21 day fast.
Thank you for being so open and honest about your fasting experiences.. My church does a 21 day fast every year and this is the first time I took part. I really grew in my personal relationship with Jesus and in other relationships.. I did not do a full fast but a meal each day plus social media.. I’ve fasted before because have asked me to join in, but this was very different.. I thank God for His presence I felt during the fast and the strength He gave me to make it 21 days because only my 16 year old and I did it so I had the rest of my family to take care of and feed during this time.. I also took part in Jentezen Franklin 21 days of fasting devotion on You version and that really helped.. Thank you for your podcast, it has been a blessing to me!
Love this Becca, thanks for sharing!
I loved this podcast Nicki. My church did a Daniel fast several years ago for a month while we were in the process of a building campaign, but I have never done a fast personally. This was great information. Thanks for being so open about your own experiences. I definitely want to check out some of the resources you mentioned.
Thank you Nicki! You are always so honest and open! Thank you for that. I appreciate your sharing your heart and what God has put on your heart. Thank you
The last 2 years, I have given up FB for Lent. It was such a freeing, cleansing, liberating, wonderful experience that I debated deleting my FB account and not going back. Appreciate your insights on this topic.
