Death to Distraction: The Day I Broke up with Facebook

Why saying yes to God meant saying no to my biggest distraction

What does it take to put death to your distraction? For me, it started with a sermon, a gut punch of truth, and an uncomfortable realization: I was inviting distraction into my life like an old friend who overstays their welcome.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on my “distraction detox”—the moment I knew I had to walk away from Facebook. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t easy, and it definitely wasn’t pretty. But God used it to teach me some powerful lessons about surrender, trust, and finding peace in obedience.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • Why distraction isn’t something that “just happens” to us

  • The fears and excuses that kept me stuck in the social media cycle

  • What finally pushed me to say goodbye to Facebook (and yes, it was terrifying)

  • How obedience can bring freedom and peace, even when it feels uncomfortable

  • Why “starting messy” is sometimes the most obedient step you can take

This isn’t a “look at me, I’ve got it all together” kind of story. It’s raw, real, and a little messy—just like life. If you’re tired of distraction running the show and ready to reclaim your focus, this episode is for you.
