In this episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa Batt opens the doors to the brand-new 12-Week Screen Time Reset and walks you through the deeper spiritual and emotional reasons behind your constant distraction, anxiety, and overwhelm.
If your mind feels scattered…
If your phone is the first thing you grab in the morning…
If you feel disconnected from God, your family, or your own thoughts…
This episode is your wake-up call.
Melissa shares the urgency God placed on her heart to launch this reset now, not later, and explains why waiting until January keeps so many women stuck in cycles of avoidance, numbing, overstimulation, and survival mode. She breaks down how unhealthy screen habits affect your mental health, spiritual clarity, peace, and ability to hear God’s voice.
You’ll learn what makes this reset different from quick-fix “digital detoxes” and why the combination of emotional regulation, discipleship, nervous system care, and weekly accountability is exactly what your mind and heart have been needing.
If you’ve felt God nudging you to deal with this area of your life—or if you’re simply exhausted from feeling overwhelmed and mentally overloaded—this conversation will help you take your first baby step toward peace, clarity, and presence with God again.
