Recent science suggests fasting is more than ancient ritual:

An MIT-linked study finds it regenerates gut stem cells, accelerates healing, and metabolically resets the body after feasting.

For Christians, the findings provoke a deeper question—has spiritual formation always carried embodied wisdom modern research is only now beginning to grasp again?

[John Ortberg @johnortberg]

Prayer is communion with God that heals us:

New research reveals measurable mental-health benefits—dampened anxiety, calmer brains, deeper purpose and resilience—while distinguishing prayer styles and their psychological payoff. This isn’t airy theology but data suggesting spiritual formation shapes emotional wiring.
