The average person spends 6-7 hours a day on their phone. That's a full-time job!
Imagine spending over six hours a day on your phone and realising that this digital distraction is keeping you from truly connecting with your family and faith. This is exactly what happened to Erick Vargas, a Christian entrepreneur who decided enough was enough. In this episode of The Call with Nancy Sabato, Erick shares his journey of creating the Sabbath Space app, designed to help believers disconnect from their phones and reconnect with God and their loved ones.
Inspired by the concept of Sabbath rest, Erick's app comes with a unique keychain that locks distracting apps and requires a physical scan to unlock them, making it easier to stay focused on what truly matters. Erick dives into the statistics that reveal just how much time we waste on our phones—up to 100 days a year!
He explains how the Sabbath Space app can help users reclaim this lost time and use it for more meaningful activities, like spending quality time with family or engaging in spiritual practices. The app's different modes, such as work mode and devotional mode, allow users to customise their phone usage according to their needs, ensuring that distractions are kept at bay. Nancy and Erick discuss the broader implications of digital distractions on our mental health and relationships.
Erick shares personal anecdotes about how the app has improved his own life, making him a more present father and husband. He also offers practical advice for those struggling with similar issues, emphasising the importance of intentionality and discipline in our digital habits. If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by constant notifications and want to create a healthier balance between your digital life and real life, this episode is a must-listen.
Erick's innovative approach provides a tangible solution to a problem many of us face daily. So, why not give it a try and see how Sabbath Space can help you reclaim your time and faith?
