Today, we’re joined by Darren Whitehead to discuss his book, The Digital Fast. He highlights the crucial role of community in helping us break free from excessive phone use and invites us on a 40-day journey toward less digital noise and more spiritual peace. The average person spends 7 to 9 hours a day on their phone, and while we know it’s not a healthy habit, changing it can feel incredibly challenging—especially when we try to do it alone. In this conversation, we’ll explore the four key movements of the digital fast and how to rediscover joy and balance. Enjoy! The 4 Movements:1. Detach2. Discover3. Delight4.
