As y'all know, I LOVE the Christian calendar! Since we kick off Lent in just two days, I wanted one of my favorite pastors, Dr. Darren Whitehead, to come on the show and teach us about what it looks like to sacrifice, celebrate, and fast during this season. We talk allll about the power of fasting, distraction versus utility, and what it would look like to embrace a digital fast. I think this conversation is so helpful and important! Darren's new book The Digital Fast is an amazing resource for you, your family, and your community. You can find more of Darren's resources at thedigitalfast.com.

Make sure you head over to our Patreon community Single Purpose League (and join in if you haven't yet!) to hear the rest of mine and Darren's conversation about doing a technology fast and creating healthy boundaries with our phones when you're single.
