The Digital Fast is a 28-Day guided journey to intentionally reduce digital distraction and deliberately increase spiritual devotion. Reducing digital distraction includes using a “dumb phone” or dumbing down your smartphone by removing apps that provide distraction. These include apps like social media, games, news and email, then only using your smartphone for utility apps, such as phone, text, calendar, camera, weather etc.
The purpose of a digital fast is to disconnect from the constant flow of information and online activities to gain mental, emotional and spiritual rejuvenation, reduce screen time-related stress, and promote mindfulness.
By turning down the digital noise, you will experience the time, space and mental clarity to listen to the voice of God.
