🎙️ Show Notes

Series: Fasting and Prayer

Fasting is meant to draw us closer to God—not push us into fear, guilt, or physical collapse. In this anchor episode of the Fasting and Prayer series, we explore a compassionate, Spirit-led approach to discernment when a fast feels heavy, confusing, or unsustainable.

This episode invites you into prayerful evaluation—not judgment—and reminds you that obedience is rooted in surrender, not self-punishment.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• ​Why shifting a fast is not the same as quitting
• ​How to discern whether your fast is drawing you toward God or distracting you from Him
• ​The difference between discipline rooted in striving and obedience rooted in surrender
• ​Why God often prioritizes sustainability over suffering, especially for those called into leadership, ministry, and mental health spaces

Five Discernment Questions for Shifting a Fast:

1. ​Is my body becoming a distraction instead of a vessel?
2. ​Am I fasting to prove discipline or to hear God?
3. ​Is this fast producing spiritual fruit or spiritual pressure?
4. ​Is God inviting me into sustainability, not sacrifice alone?
5. ​Does shifting allow me to continue fasting with integrity?

✨ Shifting is not failure. Refinement is not disobedience.

This episode is especially for those who love God deeply but feel worn down by rigid spiritual expectations. Let this be an invitation back into peace, clarity, and grace.

In Part 2 of the Sacred Dating series, Taharra takes listeners deeper into the tools, rituals, and emotional practices that build safe, healthy relationships grounded in self-love.

This episode expands on creating a life where connection feels nourishing — not draining. It includes scripts, reflection prompts, and boundary examples for people of all genders, ages 16+, including those healing from heartbreak, divorce, or sudden loss.

You’ll learn how to date mindfully, speak up for your needs, and build genuine intimacy without sexual pressure. Whether you’re newly dating, healing, or rebuilding, this episode helps you return to yourself with confidence, joy, and clarity.

Topics covered:

• Boundary-setting across all genders

This is a healing conversation for anyone rediscovering love after loss, rebuilding after heartbreak, or learning to trust themselves again.

In this two-part deep dive, Taharra opens her heart and her coaching toolbox to explore what it truly means to date with integrity, clarity, and unwavering self-respect.

This episode guides listeners through the journey of dating when someone says they are “not ready,” “emotionally unavailable,” or “working on themselves.” Instead of chasing potential, we shift the focus inward — toward values, peace, boundaries, and emotional alignment.

You’ll learn how to date without lowering your standards, how to protect your spirit from emotional exhaustion, and how to build connection without sexual pressure or self-betrayal.

This conversation blends spirituality, psychology, and real-life wisdom — helping you stay rooted in your worth, even in the gray areas of modern relationships.

Topics covered:

• Dating while honoring your moral compass

• Emotional availability and timing

• Non-sexual intimacy and healthy pacing
