From Numbing to Nourishing: A 40-Day Reset | Wendy Speake | Ep. 35

How many hours are we losing to scrolling? And what is that time costing us—relationally, spiritually, emotionally?

In this episode, Bethany and Adam talk with author and speaker Wendy Speake about the heart behind her 40-Day Social Media Fast. They explore what happens when we stop reaching for our phones and start reaching for God. Wendy shares her own story of burnout, anger, and emotional numbing—and how fasting from digital distraction helped her reconnect with her family, her purpose, and her faith.

This conversation is real and deeply relatable. It’s not about legalism or shame—it’s about making space for what really matters. If you’re craving more peace, more presence, and more of Jesus, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
