The Digital Fast

CHRIST CHURCH DIGITAL FAST STARTS IN:

Digital Fast

What is Digital Fast?

Ready to shake up your relationship with technology? Join us for The Digital Fast – a 28-day adventure that’ll help us take a fresh look at how we use our devices. We’ll walk through four awesome phases together: Detach, Discover, Delight, and Determine. Everyone gets their own Digital Fast workbook, but the real magic happens as we do this as a church family. Get ready – this journey might just transform the way you think about your phone (and trust us, that’s a good thing!). The best part? As we learn to spend less time scrolling and more time being present, we’ll find ourselves growing closer to each other and to God.

Week 1:
DETACH

The first week focuses on detaching from distractions, resentment, and discouragement to connect with the Father, find real rest, and experience gratitude, joy, peace, and hope.

Week 2: DISCOVER

During the second week, you’ll discover how to remove and replace idols of the heart, how connecting to the Spirit frees and guides you, and the wonders of worship through praise and thanksgiving.

Week 3: DELIGHT

Your third week of The Digital Fast will focus on delighting in the God that formed you, in the gift of life through beauty, play and laughter, and finally in remembering God’s faithfulness and hope for the future.

Week 4: DETERMINE

To wrap up, week four will help you determine how to bear good fruit, abide in and with Jesus, and live for wholeness through loving God and your neighbors. Finally, determining your ongoing relationship with technology.
