Should Christians Follow the Daniel Plan? With Heather Creekmore

podcast Mar 04, 2025

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show Kasey interviews Author and Compared To Who podcast host, Heather Creekmore about whether Christians should follow the Daniel Plan. We dive into the popular Daniel plan written by Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Mark Hyman and based loosely on the fast of the prophet Daniel. Since 2013 Christians have been using this plan sometimes at the direction of their pastors but what are the implications? That’s what we talk about in this episode

In This Episode We Discuss:

  1. What the Daniel Plan is and what is says it’s accomplishing
  2. The potentials costs and benefits of the plan and fasting in general
  3. How to make a discerning decision about whether to do the plan and alternatives.

We pray that just like the prophet Daniel this episode encourages you to seek the Lord in prayer about all things, knowing that “he gives wisdom generously to all without finding fault” James 1:5
