In some pockets of the Protestant world \\u2018asceticism\\u2019 is a dirty word. It brings works righteousness and unbiblical acts of self-abuse to mind. But is that the whole story? Jesus said, \\u2018When you fast\\u2019 not \\u2018If you fast.\\u2019 In other words, it\\u2019s expected, and there\\u2019s a right way to do it. So, perhaps it comes as a surprise that self-denial is actually growing in popularity, and it\\u2019s doing so outside the church. Why is it happening, and what should we think about it. Tune in for the conversation!
