Digital Fast: Part 2: Making Space For What Matters Most

The first week focuses on detaching from distractions, resentment, and discouragement to connect with the Father, find real rest, and experience gratitude, joy, peace, and hope.

Discussion Questions

Start Talking 

• Have you ever felt like technology or another distraction was pulling you away from what matters most?
• How can we use technology in a way that doesn’t use us?
• The Amish approach technology intentionally—how do you determine what role technology should play in your life?
• Clay mentioned being distracted by his phone during time with God. When have you experienced something similar?
• Have you ever fasted from technology or another distraction? 
  • What did you learn from that experience?

Read This

Read Exodus 34:14

• This verse says God is a jealous God. What does that mean to you? 
• How does His jealousy differ from human jealousy?

Read 1 Corinthians 6:12

• This verse reminds us that while we have freedom, not everything is beneficial. What’s something in your life that might be “permissible” but not “beneficial”?

What Now

• What’s one thing that is stealing your attention from God?
  • What have we allowed to take His place?
• If Jesus walked into your house today, what might He ask you to detach from?
• The sermon suggests small ways to detach—like turning off notifications or putting your phone in another room. Which of these could you try this week?
• What is one practical step you can take to replace screen time with connection—with God, family, or friends?
• How can we encourage each other as a group to stay intentional about our attention?

You can’t attach to what matters most until you detach from what doesn’t.
