If your relationship with screens feels overwhelming, you’re not alone.

We wake up to notifications, scroll through distractions all day, and struggle to be still. But what if stepping away from technology for just one day could reset your mind, reclaim your focus, and bring a deep sense of peace?

That’s exactly what we’re talking about on today’s show. On March 7-8, 2025, thousands of people worldwide are stepping away from their screens for 24 hours for the Global Day of Unplugging, a movement that’s been growing for over a decade.

This episode will help you prepare for the challenge, understand why unplugging matters, and show you exactly how to do it, whether for 24 hours or a few intentional hours through a #ScreenFreeSaturday.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to unplug with confidence, not just by removing screen time, but by replacing it with something better. Instead of asking, “What am I giving up?” you’ll start asking, “What am I gaining?”

• What the Global Day of Unplugging is and how it works.
• Why unplugging isn’t just about screens, but about resetting your soul.
• The biblical connection between unplugging and Sabbath rest.
• How to prepare for unplugging so it doesn’t stress you or others out.
• A fresh list of creative screen-free activities for all ages.
• Why this challenge is not about what you’re losing but what you’re gaining.
