This week, I am reviewing the final chapter of my book, reflecting on my journey from hustle to healing, and showing how spiritual fasting, the sacraments, and community offer a life-giving path back to joy.

But you have to slow down to receive it.

This episode invites you to return not only to spiritual fasting but to the sacraments, community, and a compassionate rhythm of life.

There is a balance between being a “Martha” and a “Mary,” which encourages us to shift toward stillness, presence, and sacramental living as the path to lasting transformation.

Have you ever reached for food—not out of hunger—but out of habit, stress, or the hope of feeling just a little better?

If so, you're not alone. In fact, you may be caught in what I call The Vice Cycle—a pattern driven by sugar, overdesire, and the false promises of quick comfort.

This week’s episode is based on Chapter 9 of my book, Delay and Pray®, and it's one of the most important episodes yet.

We’re talking about how dopamine is tricking your brain, why cravings feel so urgent (and what to do instead), the difference between overhunger and true hunger, and how to step from the Vice Cycle into the Virtue Cycle, where peace and purpose live.

You were made for more than short-term comfort. You were made for lasting freedom.

As we celebrate the 4th of July, let's remember that true freedom isn't just found in fireworks and barbecues, but in feasting on the beauty of life with a heart rooted in gratitude.

Today, we’re talking about Chapter 8 of my Delay and Pray® book, a chapter that's all about one of the most joyful and misunderstood parts of our fasting rhythm: the feast.

We'll walk through the Eat Fast Feast cycle and consider a new mindset around feast days. Instead of binging or using food to numb emotions, true feasting becomes a deliberate, sacramental, moderate, and joyful act of honoring God.

I encourage you to embrace the true freedom found in Christ - the freedom to enjoy food without being enslaved by it.
