Media / Entertainment Detox Challenge

Announcing the 31 Day Media Detox Challenge!

This weekend our message will be around purity with a focus on the effect of Media on our ability to be pure. Our focus passages will be Psalm 101 and Psalm 119:37. (After Sunday the message will be on our media page, if you are reading this later)

In this regard, I am offering for you to follow me and my family in a 31 day Media Detox Challenge!

That's right, for 31 days, Aug 1 - 31, I want to challenge you to remove all electronic media (TV, movies, web shows, news programs) and visual entertainment from your life and replace it with spiritual pursuits (serving, outreach, quiet time, Bible study, devotional reading) and family pursuits (family devotions, family book reading, game nights, family service projects etc)

Honestly, I have told some people of the upcoming challenge, and each time you should hear the excuses coming in! Funny thing is while we do not think we are addicted we can't give it up. I want to encourage you, you can do this! (In fact, for thousands of years mankind lived this way... I am just challenging you to take a 31 day detox!)

At the end, I hope it will cause you to re-evaluate the content of what you consume, the amount of time you spend consuming it, the money you spend on it, and how it often goes contrary to what the Spirit is trying to lead us to in our lives.

Let's take the challenge and see what God does!
