40-Day Digital Fast

Join Us Beginning March 5!

By temporarily disengaging from social media, streaming platforms, or even online news, we are clearing space to reconnect with what truly matters: a clear focus on Jesus and rediscovering meaningful face-to-face connections with people who matter. Think of this season as a detox for the soul and a chance to reset our habits so that our devices serve us, rather than the other way around. We’re excited to journey alongside you as we embrace JOMO (the Joy Of Missing Out), clean out some digital clutter, and open ourselves to a renewed sense of peace, purpose, and God’s presence.

Choose Your Digital Fast Plan

What kind of digital fast will you commit to for the next 40 days? We recommend choosing one of these 3 options:

  • Option 1 – Social Media
  • Option 2 – Social Media + Entertainment
  • Option 3 – Social Media + Entertainment + Information
