It’s true. You can watch TV and grow your faith at the same time!
CHRISTIAN FASTING
Fasting in the Christian faith isn’t just an exercise in self–discipline or suffering, it’s having less of something SO THAT you can have more of God. So since fasting is less about the means and more about the end result, I decided to get creative and try 7 different fasts in 7 weeks to see how each one affected my faith.
TV FAST
This week in my 7 Fast in 7 Weeks I’m doing a TV Fast, but there’s a twist. Instead of no TV I’ve challenged myself to match the time I spend watching television, minute–for–minute, with time spent reading Scripture.
But not only did I end up reading a lot of Scripture this week during my television fast, there were a few other surprising benefits from limiting my TV intake.

ABOUT WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT
I make the What Jesus Says About channel so you can respond to what Jesus says about topics important to you.
That’s it. No hard sell. No 30 minute sermon. Just Jesus speaking for himself so you can respond for yourself. All of this is made possible by THRED, an organization committed to open and honest conversations about life, faith, and Jesus.
