IAM 40/40

IAM 40/40

Disconnect to Reconnect

A modern return to presence, clarity, and embodied faith. 

For 40 days and 40 nights, we step out of distraction and back into presence. IAM 40/40 is not a punishment fast. It is not starvation. It is not religious performance. It is a modern desert.

A guided container inspired by what Jesus demonstrated in the wilderness:

Removing noise
Meeting yourself honestly
And remembering who you are beneath the world’s distractions.

This IAM Awakening journey is designed for modern people living modern lives. You will still work, live, and move through the world — but you will do so with intention.

The goal is not restriction. The Goal is Reconnection.

Why 40/40?


|Throughout scripture, forty marks transformation. Jesus in the desert. Moses on the mountain. The flood that reset the world. The wilderness that refined a people.

Forty days and forty nights is long enough to interrupt habit, and short enough to complete with commitment.

It is a sacred window where identity softens and clarity returns.

IAM 40/40 is a conscious pause from the algorithm and a return to the signal within.

The Threshold Initiation


The journey begins with a symbolic 40-hour initiation water fast.

Participants are invited to complete a water fast from 8pm on the first evening until midday two days later. This marks a conscious separation from distraction and mirrors the biblical act of stepping into the desert.

This is not about suffering. It is about intention.

If you have medical conditions, pregnancy, medication needs, or a history of eating disorders, you are encouraged to modify responsibly. Fruit, broth, or a shortened fast are completely acceptable.

The spirit of the fast matters more than the form. No one is graded. No one is excluded. Honesty matters more than heroics.

What you may disconnect from

 

You are not fasting from life. 

You are fasting from distraction.

Participants are invited to remove or reduce:

  • social media scrolling
  • alcohol and recreational substances
  • pornography and compulsive sexuality
  • processed foods and preservatives
  • coffee and stimulant dependence
  • unnecessary screen time
  • gossip and reactive conversation
  • constant noise and stimulation

Not as punishment.
But as an experiment in freedom.

Each removal creates space to observe:

  • What am I avoiding?
  • What am I attached to?
  • Who am I without this?

What you reconnect to

 

The desert is not empty.

It is intentional.

During the 40/40, participants are encouraged to increase:

  • silence and prayer
  • reflective journaling
  • scripture and spiritual reading
  • walking and pilgrimage
  • breath and meditation
  • volunteering and service
  • creative expression
  • time in nature
  • deep conversation
  • rest without guilt

You are not subtracting joy.

You are upgrading attention.

Why this works


Modern life is engineered to fragment attention. 

IAM 40/40 restores authorship. When stimulation is voluntarily reduced, the nervous system recalibrates.

The mind clears. The body stabilizes. The spirit becomes audible again.

You begin to notice:

YOUR HABITS  |  YOUR FEARS  |  YOUR DESIRES  |  YOUR TRUTH 

This is not about becoming perfect.

It is about becoming honest.

And honesty is the doorway to awakening.

How IAM 40/40 works


When you register, you enter a 40-day guided container led by IAM Awakening with a 24 hour window to prepare and consider what you will fast from.

Each morning at 7am, you will receive a short email containing:

  • a scripture
  • a modern decode
  • a reflection question
  • a simple embodied practice
  • encouragement to stay present

The daily guidance takes 3–5 minutes to read.

The rest of the day is yours to live differently.

No pressure. No guilt. No competition. Just a daily return.

The Invitation

 

Jesus walked into the desert to remember who he was. We walk together for the same reason.

This is not about escaping the world. It is about returning to it awake.

If you feel the call, step forward. If now is not your moment, that is honoured.

The desert will still be here when you are ready.
