What is a 30-Day Secular Media Fast?

What if the noise of godless media is drowning out the voice of God? Not all media is bad... but maybe the distraction away from God is making harder to hear and see God at work.

This is a journey of a group of high school students who have committed to take 30 days to focus on God through God-centered media. This includes TV, movies, books, magazines, smart phone apps, and many social media outlets.

Here, you can follow their stories, their lives, and their challenges. Feel free to leave comments and encouragement.

To Save a Life(aka Life on the Outside)

Okay this is my first post and i am just gonna say this up-front, this is SO much harder than i thought it was gonna be! on the first day alone i realized how much time i spend playing DS or Wii and stuff more than reading my Bible outside of school (*_*)!


 Now that`s off my chest, let`s get serious. i recently watched most of To Save a Life and it got me thinking: what if life was different for me? what if i was like that (watch the movie and you`ll see what i mean)? and i started thinking that i`m blessed, SO blessed by God that i`m not. also for school  today we watched this documentary about poor kids and their families in America and made me even more thankful that, even though to be honest life ain`t that great with me and my fam, we`ve still got it pretty good compared to those kids. but then i thought: i should be praying for those kids and stuff! i mean, it could be me thats there for cryin` out loud!


Anyway, long story short let`s be thankful we have a bunch of video games, movies, iPods, and music to fast from! please pray that i stay true to this,  it`s like crazy hard not to read any of my manga, or watch Adventure Time at my Grandma`s place for dinner on sundays!

    I agree! I now realize how much time small things like books, movies, and video games take away from time you could spend with God.
