Week one addresses Digital Overload, how the constant noise of screens, notifications, and media can drown out God’s voice in our lives. We’ll uncover how technology-driven distraction fuels addiction, comparison, anxiety, and disconnection from ourselves and others. Together, we’ll examine our daily rhythms to see where we may be numbing or escaping rather than engaging life fully with God.

‍

Week two is about Reclaiming Focus, challenging us to break free from the pull of digital distractions. We’ll discover how reclaiming margin, rest, and genuine presence can restore clarity, peace, and purpose. As we shift our attention to what truly matters, we create space for deeper relationships and experience the fullness of life.

‍

Week three is about Living Intentionally, as we move from short-term changes to a long-term mindset. We’ll learn how to break free from autopilot by setting intentional boundaries that keep technology in its proper place. With a clear vision and practical steps, we can use digital tools to serve God’s purposes and live with lasting impact.

How do we set boundaries for our children? How do we manage it ourselves? We’ll tackle the nuance of living in a digital world. Between meetings, telehealth, email, and entertainment, how do we enjoy the benefits of technology without letting it shape us in unhealthy ways?
