Instagram Fast with Bible Immersion

The 23rd Psalm says, "Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want..."

Can you even imagine???

We live in a world that constantly tells us to want.

Want more, want less.... It all comes out the same as we are conditioned to never be quite content with where we are and what we have.

We see it everyday on the little screen in our hand as the ever changing algorithm holds onto us with one more click, one more story, one more reel,.... telling us that we would be happier with more money or less weight or more clothes or less wrinkles. Maybe for you its a bigger garden or more chickens or an instagram worthy vacation.

Some of these are good things but my heart has learned that to be in a constant state of "wanting" is exhausting and it robs me of the rest that The Good Shepherd as called me to. But how do we rest from the wanting?

Only by fixing our eyes on Jesus who knows all our needs and promises to meet them according to the riches that he posses in glory. (Phil 4:19)

Only by resting in the strong arms of the Good Shepherd and finding contentment there because he is with me and his presence is enough. Enough to fill the empty spaces that all the wanting leaves behind.

I am ready for rest.

I am ready to take a break from the constant swiping and watching life go by at the speed of reels. If you too, are ready for your soul to be restored, join me in a week long social media fast where we will endeavor to replace the screen time with a massive infusion of God's Word as we listen to the entire New Testament in 7 days.

I did this "re-set" last year and it truly did restore my soul. This time I am inviting you to join me.

I will begin on Tuesday, May 27th and go for 7 full day. For me this will mean no Instagram, youtube, podcasts, facebook and any other screen apps that feel need to be included. It may be a different list for you and that is ok. During this fast, I plan to listen to the entire New Testament using the Free YouVersion app. There is an option on some of the translation version for the audible version and that makes for an easy way to fill my mind with huge quantities of God's Word every day. It should take about 3 hours a day of listening time to complete the whole thing. If your life looks different than mine and that isn't possible, come up with your own plan. Maybe for you it is just the book of Psalms or just the Gospels. But whatever you choose, go for more than you think is comfortable. You won't regret it.

The last time I did this I found myself in a constant state of thankfulness as I listened to the stories of God's faithfulness and his beautiful promises to us. My hope and prayer is that you will be refreshed in the same way.

If you would like to join me, Click here to sign up and I will send out a few encouraging emails and possibly schedule a zoom call so we can encourage one another.

Can't wait to get started and then to hear what God does in your life!

Lots of love,
