Description: Is the modern church recovering biblical fasting, or are we just baptizing diet culture? In this final bonus episode, Bob Baulch tackles the biggest controversies surrounding the modern fasting movement. We ask the hard questions: Is "Intermittent Fasting" (16:8) a spiritual discipline or just a weight-loss trend? Is a "Technology Fast" actually fasting, or just a digital break? We explore why giving up food must always be paired with prayer to be spiritual, otherwise, it is simply dieting [Source 8: 544-545]. We also confront the commercialization of the "Daniel Fast," exposing how companies ex...

This episode explores how Augustine of Hippo responded to the panic when pagan leaders began blaming Christians for the disaster. We discuss the terror of the invasion after 800 years of safety and the pagan accusation that the old gods were angry.

In this season finale, Bob Baulch synthesizes 2,000 years of fasting history into a practical roadmap for the future.

(The 100-Year Debate) Description: When chocolate arrived in Europe from the Americas in the 1500s, it caused a massive theological crisis for the Catholic Church that lasted over a century. At the time, Christians faced over 100 mandatory fast days a year where solid food was forbidden, but liquids were allowed [Source 8: 48, 361]. This led to a fierce debate that divided popes and theologians: Was this thick, rich cocoa beverage a food that broke the fast, or a drink that was permitted?

While the original episode focused on Susanna’s defiant refusal to sin, this discussion uncovers the complex and often ironic reality of the church during the reign of Emperor Commodus.

Meat was forbidden during these times, but fish was allowed. This led to some of the most creative (and ridiculous) biology in history as people tried to find loopholes in the rules [Source 8: 44, 343-345]. In Day 14 of our history series, we take a humorous look at how desperation for food led theologians to classify beavers, geese, and giant rodents as "fish."

The early church did not view fasting as a passive activity; they saw it as aggressive spiritual warfare. In Day 13 of our history series, we explore why early leaders like St. Basil called fasting "a weapon for the valiant" and a "gymnasium for athletes." We see how they viewed fasting as essential training to strengthen the spirit against the attacks of the devil. We examine the teachings of St. Leo the Gr...

The majority voted to revoke the religious toleration granted three years earlier and to enforce the Edict of Worms, which outlawed Lutheran reforms.

This COACH Deep Dive is an AI-generated discussion that revisits the research behind Episode 13 to explore Marcion’s "dangerous edit" and the crisis that forced Christians to officially define the New Testament canon.

He claimed to receive new messages from the Holy Spirit that demanded stricter rules. In Day 11 of our history series, we explore how this movement, known as Montanism, tried to make extreme fasting mandatory for all Christians.

By 400 AD, the 40-day season of Lent was mandatory, and St. Augustine declared that "we sin if we do not fast." In Day 10 of our history series, we trace the evolution of Lent from a diverse, voluntary practice to a strict legal requirement. We look at the letter from St. Irenaeus regarding the early variety in fasting, the Council of Nicaea's mention of 40 days, and the Council of Laodicea's command for "dry eating." We also examine...

In Day 9 of our history series, we explore how the early church viewed fasting as active spiritual combat rather than just passive hunger. We look at why they treated their weekly fasts like soldiers standing watch at a guard post. We explain the history of "Station Days," where believers fasted on Wednesdays and Fridays until the "ninth hour" (3:00 PM). We look at why they chose that specific time—to mark the moment...

In Day 8 of our history series, we open this ancient document to find a surprising command: "Let not your fasts be with the hypocrites." We trace the historical shift from the Jewish fasting days (Monday and Thursday) to the unique Christian fasting days (Wednesday and Friday). We explain the theology behind this change. Early believers chose Wednesday to remember Judas's betrayal and Friday to remember the Crucifixion, turning their weekly fasts into a remembrance of the Gospel. We a...

In Day 7 of our fasting history series, we explore why the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness and what actually happened there. We analyze why Scripture says He was "hungry" but does not mention thirst, implying a water-only fast rather than a supernatural absolute fast.

In Day 6, we examine Jesus's three major teachings on the subject. We look at Matthew 6, where He instructs disciples to "wash their faces" and fast in secret to avoid the "hypocrite's reward" of human applause. We analyze the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke 18), where a man who fasted 104 times a year was rejected by God because of his pride.
