Holy Habits | Fasting, Clarity, and Building a Faith That Lasts | #LFLSEP19

How do you start the year spiritually strong — and actually sustain it? In this episode of the Like Father, Like Son Podcast, Pastors Deryck Frye, Devon Frye, and host Michael Tirpak unpack why holy habits like prayer, fasting, Scripture, community, serving, and rest are essential for lasting spiritual growth — not just a strong start. This conversation reframes fasting and spiritual disciplines from something punitive to something powerful. With honesty, humor, and biblical clarity, the guys talk about why fasting isn’t about what you’re giving up, but what you’re fasting for, and how clarity, dependence on God, and real transformation flow from disciplined devotion. We dive into what it looks like to move beyond information into formation — and why spiritual disciplines that don’t lead to spiritual change miss the point entirely. You’ll hear conversations about: * Why fasting is preparation and the work * Biblical fasting and how to approach it with wisdom and intention * The difference between discipline and deprivation * Why clarity often follows obedience * Reading Scripture for transformation, not just information * The role of community in sustaining healthy spiritual habits * Serving, Sundays, and avoiding performative spirituality * Sabbath, rest, and resisting a culture of constant rush This episode will challenge you to take your faith seriously, build habits that last beyond a season, and walk into the new year with purpose, clarity, and spiritual strength. Don’t just take notes — take action. ⸻ Resources Mentioned in This Episode * Core 52 (Blue Edition) * How to Read the Bible by David Platt * SOAP & MAPS Bible reading method * MAPS: Meditation, Application, Prayer, Sharing * Divine Recall ⸻ Follow Us Deryck Frye YouTube: /@connectchurchma Instagram: /deryckfrye Devon Frye YouTube: /@devonfrye508 Instagram: /devonfrye TikTok: /devonfrye508 Michael Tirpak YouTube: /@michaeltirpak Instagram: /michael.tirpak TikTok: /michaeltirpak 📧 Business Inquiries: lflspodcast1@gmail.com
