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.

Confessions and STUFF

OK, i have a CoNfEsSiOn- though it lasted for a while, i've been slacking off on the whole connect with God thing. i'm trying to think of some creative ways to do that- away from the norm of praying and reading your Bible and just stopping there. i mean, those are good things. . . . but ya. i've filled in a couple of entries in my prayer journal (which was TOTALLY good, especially considering that it has collected some dust lately), written a couple of songs & a devotional (really neat ways to worship, by the way), and am going through Proverbs, but it feels like i'm just going through the motions, you know? ? does anyone have any creative ideas of how to connect with God? ?
on the other hand, i've really been enjoying the song "You're not Shaken" by phil stacey. it's like reminding you that God has a reason for everything that happens, and nothing happens out of His control. pretty awesome. the devos on here have been cool, too. i guess that you just have to take this thing one step at a time. =] hope everyone else is doing well! !

  2. I agree... that's a great way to connect with God! I dunno if you would like this one, but I like to go outside with a notepad and a pencil and draw pictures of what I think is cool. Then I like to give my explanation as to why I think God created what I drew, and then I go on a bible scavenger hunt to see if there is anything that he says about what I drew... And then, to top it off, I pray and thank God for creating what he did! I've only done this once, but it was fun and I felt like I connected with God...
