What is The 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 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 whole church. 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.

This will be a powerful journey for you as a person. But, we are better together and we invite you to do this with your family, friends, colleagues, community group, etc. To be honest, the more individuals engaged the more time and presence with people we care about we can reclaim. Are you willing to give up something you love for SOMEONE you love more?

4 Weeks to Redesign our Relationship with Technology

Detach

Week 1
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.

Discover

Week 2
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.

Delight

Week 3
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.

Determine

Week 4
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the Digital Fast start?

We begin together as a church on January 5 and finish on February 1.

Do I have to give up my phone completely?

No. This isn’t about total phone abandonment. It’s about re-imagining and resetting your tech habits. Use the workbook and Aro app to help guide that intentionally.

What is the 28-Day Fast?

The Digital Fast is a 28-day journey to rethink how we use technology and make space for what matters most. It’s not about locking away your phone, it’s about creating rhythms that help you be present, connected, and spiritually grounded as we walk through the four phases together.
