We live in a loud, opinionated world of staggering distraction. It’s not only exhausting but immobilizing. You are tempted to zone out, binge-watch, and doom scroll.
With all of this distraction, it’s hard to keep focus on what matters most: God and His nearness in this very moment. Katie Westenberg is on the show today sharing about her book But Then She Remembered, helping us to focus on what truly matters. Leaning on Scripture, scientific studies of memory, and the power of a renewed mind, she will help you uncover the ancient way of being un-distractible. Here is the wake-up call our hearts are longing for–and the clear-eyed focus our souls were made for.
