In Episode 17, we break down our January challenge: a Dopamine Detox.

This challenge was all about identifying habits that quietly control our attention and replacing them with disciplines that lead to clarity, self-control, and spiritual growth.

We focused on:

• Purity (no pornography, no masturbation, no lingering on anything that feeds lust)

• Minimal social media (no scrolling; social media only for posting or professional use)

• No sweets or desserts

• No screens first thing in the morning (at least 5 minutes of exercise, prayer, mobility, reading, or Scripture before touching our phones)

We talk honestly about what was harder than expected, what surprised us, and how this challenge impacted our focus, discipline, and relationship with God.

If you’ve ever felt distracted, overstimulated, or stuck in habits you want to break, this episode will resonate.
