In this episode, Gea and Bill explore fasting in a business context as a way of seeking spiritual breakthrough rather than mere self-discipline. Bill shares how he first learned fasting after feeling rebuked for prioritizing an all-night hobby project over all-night prayer with employees. He then completed a six-month rhythm of weekday fasting and overnight Friday prayer, finding the body adapts and fasting becomes a “tool” for intimacy with God. Bill recounts a later 40+ day fast in China, connected to repentance for ancestors’ involvement in the opium trade, during which he felt sustained and did not lose weight. Now on day 40 of another fast, he’s pressing for resolution in two struggling companies, emphasizing relational “investments,” joy, worship, and spiritual warfare over blaming people.
