Is Your Fast Actually Pleasing to God? (Isaiah 58 Explained)

Aaron Schilling, Julie Schilling

What if your fasting isn’t actually pleasing to God?


In Isaiah 58, God confronts His own people—not because they weren’t fasting, but because they were fasting with the wrong heart. In this teaching, we break down the fast God rejects and the fast He blesses, and why real biblical fasting is about justice, mercy, compassion, and transformation—not religious performance.


We walk through Isaiah 58 step by step and answer questions like:

* Why doesn’t God respond to some fasts?

* What does real fasting look like in God’s eyes?

* How does fasting connect to justice, healing, and freedom?

* What does this mean for believers today?


If you’ve ever wondered whether your fasting is making a difference—or what God is really asking for—this teaching will bring clarity, correction, and encouragement.


And if you’re looking for more than videos—if you want community, growth, prayer, and real conversations about faith—we’d love to invite you to walk this journey with us.
