Whenever I’ve surveyed women about their struggles in maintaining consistent devotions, one of the most common answers I receive is that they are distracted.
And most often it is their device that distracts them.
I think most of us – if not all of us – relate to that issue.
- Endless notifications
- Constant scrolling
- The pressure to “influence” by devotion-gramming
We say to ourselves, “I’m just going to check this one thing for a minute”, and an hour later, we crawl out of the black hole that is our phone app.
And the guilt hits – we’ve done it again!

I don’t know about you, but after years of feeling spiritually drained, distracted, and distant from God, I realized that digital addiction was a spiritual issue that had to be approached from a biblical standpoint.
Education wasn’t going to fix it.
I knew my phone was addictive. I’d watched the documentaries, so I also knew that social media had been designed to be like a slot machine.
I needed something more than knowledge.
I needed a spiritual weapon.
Distracted Disciples: How Christian Women Can Gain Control Over Their Social Media
“Distracted Disciples” was written out of my own experience of learning to control my social media usage from the standpoint of the Bible.
I use Jesus’ Parable of the Sower as the foundation, and build upon it with powerful strategies for taking inventory of your social media and creating a plan to use social media with intention and purpose.
In this empowering and practical book, you’ll discover:
- Biblical insights on why distraction is a spiritual battle and how Scripture equips you to win it.
- Real-life stories from my own battle to overcome social media’s pull and deepen my relationship with God.
- Practical strategies and worksheets to set boundaries, cultivate digital discipline, and use social media in ways that honor God.
- Encouragement to pursue deep, meaningful connections with God and others.
This isn’t about deleting all your apps or ignoring the world around you. It’s about becoming intentional, discerning, and focused on living out your calling without letting social media derail your faith journey.
If you’re ready to stop scrolling aimlessly and start living purposefully, this book is your first step.
Take control of your time, your focus, and your faith—starting today.
