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.

day 11 on foreign planet.

So its been 11 days... Almost half way :)so I've been reading this really cool book about how to enjoy God and lastnight I was talking to a friend about how I'm scarred from past experiences and how I don't have the best relationship with my father and I pick up this book after I got done talking to my friend and the topic for the chapter was "healing scars from the past" and "the love of a father" it was talking about forgiving yourself and how God loves you way more than any earthly father could and when I saw that I started crying, it was soo cool how God shows stuff to us. On another topic,I've been frustrrated lately because I've been trying to get sponsors but it seems all my family and friends are struggling for money and I havnt been very sucessful in recruiting sponsors. But I know God will provide, I just hope I can keep up the faith. Ok so today was youth group... Fun stuff.. We talked about the story of lazerous.which is a good story about faith! God seems to be pointing me back to having faith.also
I've been thinking during this fast what I'm gonna do for college... Its kind of a depressing thought because I haven't really put much thought into it . I've been asking God what he wants me to do but so far no response. Pray that I will have faith, and that I would listen to what God has planned for me.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.. Anyways praying for you all!

RAIN!!!

I Have been in my room all day painting and i looked outside and saw rain!!!
I read a really cool book today called enjoying God..its about how God is wanting to have a relationship with me and how much he loves me....its really amazing when you think about it...God wants to spend time with us as much as we want to spend time with our friends or our special someone...He Loves us soo much!!! this book opened my eyes to how much God REALLY wants to spend time with me. I've been doing pretty good soo far with the media fast except for tonight...mt favorite show was on and it was the season finale ..and someone died ...i guess i'll have to wait till next month to find out who. :/
I have been spending alot of time playing my guitar...i learned a new chord!!! ya baby!! allie would be soo proud! :)

Keep it up guys!! you can do it!

remember ....We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!!!

whoa!

Hey guys!! So I finally figured out how to do this thing. So media fast has been pretty good for me so far, I'm shocked at how good I'm doing. The only hard part for me is but being able to watch the season finale of my favorite shows. I've had a lot of free time on my hands so I started painting again and I threw a surprise party for Tim. Gods really been showing me what there is in life besides media and its kinda cool :)
Anyone have any movies I can watch?

How's things for all of you?
