For centuries men and women have stepped away from the table to fast. To pray, to seek something deeper. But what does a 40 day fast look like today? I'm Dr. Sam Sims with Kingdom fasting and in this podcast I invite you to walk with 4 ordinary people on an extraordinary journey.

On Day 32 of the Modern 40 Day Fast, we dive into a deeply personal breaking point, one that reveals how God uses our weaknesses as the doorway to true strength. Sam opens up about years of hiding his emotional sensitivity, the moment God challenged him to surrender it, and the surprising truth he discovered through Scripture, friendship, and fasting. This episode explores identity, vulnerability, and the way emotional and spiritual intelligence shape who God is calling us to become. Join us as we walk through a powerful moment of surrender and clarity on this extraordinary journey.
