Episode Summary

Featuring: Matt Paolelli

Matt Paolelli is Vice President of Marketing for Real Life Catholic. We are discussing their new Lenten Phone Fast Challenge. Studies show that up to 57% of Americans consider themselves addicted to their smartphones, a trend especially pronounced among younger generations.

Chris Stefanick’s non-profit ministry, Real Life Catholic, is launching the Lenten Phone Fast Challenge to propose a countercultural sacrifice this Lent in support of the youngest generation of Catholics. RLC encourages people to commit to a specific phone fast to decrease their smartphone usage during Lent while also joining in prayer specifically for the renewed faith of Catholic teens.
