The Digital Fast

A 28-Day Challenge

It's time to disconnect from our always-on smartphones and reconnect to the things that matter most. Join thousands across the nation for the first-ever, church-led Digital Fast.

The Church should be leading culture when it comes to technology. By participating in the Digital Fast, you will see your church or small group overcome digital distraction, increase relational connection and spiritual devotion, and impact a larger, culture-shaping collective action.

What is The Digital Fast?


The Digital Fast is a 28-day guided journey to decrease distraction, increase devotion and use technology more intentionally. The program is guided by The Digital Fast workbook with daily devotions, journaling and reflection. Weekly featured talks by experts on THINQ Media’s platform help discern the culture and enhance the conversation.
