Hi, this is Dave Scherrerrer, and welcome to Kingdom Offerings. This is the site where 100 Fold Ministries presents our podcast, and today we're continuing our series on the disciplines of the kingdom, the disciplines that move our kingdom expressions forward in our lives. The last time that we were here together, we got started on a conversation about fasting, the discipline of fasting, and I really believe that fasting as a spiritual discipline is really important, but it's also largely become a lost art, and it's not really a very American type of topic. We're all about excess in most every way of our lives.
The food served in restaurants offer you more food than any one person can possibly eat. Cars are oversized and overpowered. Our vacations sometimes tend towards the luxurious. Our homes have become too often a testament to our financial success.
