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.

4 Years?!

This being my 4th year doing the media fast, it's funny how it feels just as challenging as the first time I did it. But with each new year, I've learned, come new challenges and triumphs. I'm so excited for what this month has to bring in regards to my relationship with God and I feel so blessed to have the oppurtunity to do this again! Bring it on year four!

Third Times the Charm

Wow it's already Media Fast number 3....Woot! I think this has been the hardest one to start for me so far. Starting on a Saturday was challenging because I had some free time but I realized right away that that was exactly why I needed to do this. It's cool that my friends already know about what is going on with me and the Media Fast from when I have told them about it before :) they even ask me about how it's going and I'm glad I can share the Word with them like this. Keep on keeping on guys! I'm praying for everyone but I know we got this!

Weekend No. 1

My first weekend doing the media fast is so much harder than the weekdays!!! I've been doing everything to keep myself busy since I can't watch TV like I usually do or go and surf the internet so its pretty much been homework, sleeping, and reading for me. Not that my parents are complaining since i actually did the chores since i got bored-at least they are getting something out of this too :) So we went out to eat and there were flat screens everywhere, like pretty much all the walls were lined with them no lie! Sad little me had to face a wall to resist temptation...but it worked. Hope you guys are doing awesome, keep it up!

Beginning

Well this has been my second day of media fasting!! Super exciting right? Course it is! So far I've re-fallen in love with my christian music and have been tempted with my secular media-already. I've been reading my bible a lot already too, though so this has already impacted me and helped me be closer to God :D I must admit I've wanted to just turn on the radio and go to my old radio stations but its been the Fish and K-Love all the way through for me. And I've had my carpools turn the radio stations too, they all support me and my friends and teachers who know about this totally love the idea ad think it's a cool thing to do. The TV is just sitting there...resisting the urge though! I am soo going to see this through but it's kinda hard right now and its barely just begun. This is for you God and I'm happy to do it. Overall, a pretty good beginning I think...
