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
