Welcome to Race to Deliver podcast with Vladimir Subject. I am excited to welcome you to this week's

episode. I believe God's going to use this podcast to enrich your spiritual walk with him.

Thank you so much each and every one of you who is sharing this podcast with your friends,

posting it on social media and also leaving the review. Let's dive into this week's episode. Fasting is a biblical way of humility.
