Show Notes

Our church tradition has a lot to say about fasting, whether its the 40 days of Lent, the season of Advent before Christmas, or writings of ancient mystics on the mortification of the flesh. In many ways, fasting is easy to do well; you abstain from something and receive grace when you fail. But despite lengthy and prominent seasons of joy, we don't talk much about what it means to feast well. As we complete the High Holy Season of Easter, we will walk through stories and parables of feasting from the Gospel of Luke, investigating what it looks like to "taste and see that the Lord is good," learning to rest, renew, and revel in the joy of the Lord.
