In this episode of Rhythms for Life, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons sit down with Darren Whitehead, pastor of Church of the City and author of The Digital Fast. Together they discuss navigating a digitally saturated world.
Darren shares his experience with a "Digital Fast" experiment he initiated at his church, which aimed to reduce digital distraction and address our growing dependence on technology. The conversation touches on how digital devices impact mental health, relationships, and community connections— especially among the first generation raised in the era of social media.
As you head into the holiday season, this episode will help you intentionally disconnect from digital media and create new rhythms to purposefully connect with family, friends, and God.
