The Unplug to Plug-in Challenge is a 31-day journey designed to help you pause, refocus, and create healthier habits that fuel your faith, mindset, and overall well-being. Each day in November, you’ll find simple prompts in your email to guide you in stepping back from distractions and plugging into what really matters—your purpose, your people, and God’s presence. It’s about progress, accountability, and the power of small daily choices that lead to lasting change.
P(ractice)A(pply)L(ive) Prompts:
P (Practice)
Try a “phone fast” for one hour a day this week — no scrolling, no checking messages. Use that time to pray, journal, or read Scripture.
Before unlocking your phone, pause and pray: “Lord, help me use this moment with purpose.”
Turn off one unnecessary notification that distracts you most (social media, email, etc.).
A (Apply)
Ask yourself daily: “Is this helping me connect with God and others — or escape from what God’s trying to teach me?”
Set specific times to use your phone (for example, after morning devotion or only in certain time blocks).
Use your phone to feed your faith — follow accounts that uplift and share truth, not comparison or chaos.
L (Live)
Be present in real life moments — look up, listen, and engage with people around you.
Make it a habit to end your day with the Word, not the world.
Live with intention: use technology to shine light, not drain it.
