Post Show: Fasting for Jesus

What is the purpose of fasting for Jesus? It's meant to be used as a tool (a means) to grow closer to God & not an end in itself And should always be combined with prayer. The tradition of fasting is ancient & does not mean total abstinence from food.

See the story about the disciples trying to heal a boy, but couldnt in Matthew 17. "This kind does not go out except by prayer & fasting."
