Prof. Esau McCaulley explores the heart of Lenten fasting. It's not about the sacrifice itself, but about creating space for prayer and intercession. Whether it's coffee, social media, or a destructive habit, the practice of giving something up transforms everyday desires into reminders to turn our hearts toward God and our neighbors.
