As we go through the season of Lent, there are three spiritual disciplines and practices that Christians often observe — prayer, fasting, and giving. Last week, we looked at generosity and giving. This week we look at the spiritual discipline of fasting and some of its parallels and connections to soccer.

Today, on the podcast, we look at some of the biblical examples of fasting, some of the purposes and intents behind fasting, and what God really desires to see in those moments when we fast. If you’re a Christian athlete that is considering to fast, please make sure that you consult with a team dietician, athletic trainer, or physician ahead of time.

From the Touchline is a short-feature (10-15 min) podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer).
