Why Your Lent ALWAYS Falls Apart (And How to Fix It) | Ft. Brian Holdsworth

The podcast explores the religious practice of fasting, particularly during Lent, and its benefits according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas identifies three reasons for fasting: to control bodily desires, to elevate the mind for contemplation, and to atone for sins. The discussion emphasizes balancing strict religious fasting with practical, modern applications, such as abstaining from technology or social media. Practical advice includes starting with achievable goals and finding alternatives to food-related comforts. Brian Holdsworth joins the conversation, sharing personal experiences with fasting and answering listener questions about finding balance and staying motivated during Lent. The episode encourages listeners to share their own fasting advice and experiences in the comments section.
