With the constant barrage of information, misinformation, opinions, likes, and shares, it is easier than ever to spiral into some very unhealthy and unhelpful places. As we draw closer to and prepare to go through the election, these voices vying for our attention seem to be growing even louder, causing us to lose sight of one fundamental truth: God is still God.
Instead of being consumed by social media and media in general, we want to challenge you to go on a ten-day media fast. This fast would begin Monday, October 26, and officially end Wednesday night, November 4 (with the option to personally extend the fast as needed). For ten days, just use your phone as a phone. No Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, 24-hour news channels, your crazy aunt Sophie, etc. Free yourself from all the voices to focus on the one voice that matters the most.
During this media fast, you will be emailed a prayer guide each day. This guide is to assist in focusing on what matters most and directing your heart to the author and perfector of our faith.
We hope you will join us on this fast, and we hope that you will join us for our outdoor prayer service on Monday, November 2, at 6:30 PM at 2810 W. Cary Street.
