Shownotes

What if fasting could transform not only your body but also your soul? In this episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, I sit down with Beth Bubik, the Catholic Fasting Coach, to discuss her powerful Delay and Pray method of spiritual fasting. Beth shares insights from her new book, explaining how this approach integrates biology, neurology, and theology to help Catholics (or anybody) grow in virtue and deepen their relationship with God. Rooted in Thomistic thought, Delay and Pray isn’t just about food—it’s about renewing the mind, strengthening the will, and embracing fasting as a path to holiness. Whether you’re new to fasting or looking to deepen your spiritual discipline, this conversation will inspire you to see fasting in a whole new light.
