Fasting: Starving the Flesh & Feeding the Spirit

Paul Calcote

What if the clarity, breakthrough, and intimacy with God you’ve been praying for is on the other side of consecration?

In this episode of Real People Real Talk, Paul shares what God revealed during a 21-day fast and why fasting isn’t optional for believers — Jesus said “when you fast,” not *if. This isn’t about dieting, trends, or religious performance. It’s about realigning your heart, quieting the noise, and making space to truly hear from God.

You’ll learn what fasting really is, why it strengthens the spirit and weakens the flesh, and how to approach it in a practical, healthy, God-centered way. From biblical purpose to real-life application, this episode will challenge you to dethrone “King Stomach,” deepen intimacy with God, and prepare for new seasons with fresh oil.

If you’re hungry for direction, renewal, or a closer walk with God, this one’s for you.

Press play and let God do the filling.
