Why You’re So Distracted (And How to Fix It)

Welcome back to another episode of Come On, Somebody! Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you were there, or found yourself scrolling through your phone while someone is trying to have a conversation with you? Today, Justin and Merideth are tackling a major issue in our modern culture: the epidemic of distraction. 

In this episode, we share some hilarious and slightly painful stories about what happens when we lose focus, from walking into water fountains to accidentally ending up on a flight to Japan! Beyond the laughs, we take a serious look at how our devices might be robbing us of peace and genuine connection. We discuss the statistics of phone dependency and how to recognize if your phone is winning the battle for your attention. 

Most importantly, we explore how to reclaim your spiritual focus. Justin shares a brilliant trick involving your phone and the space under your bed to help you start your day on your knees in prayer. We also talk about the power of instrumental worship music and how it can change your commute into a meaningful time of conversation with God. It is time to stop letting distractions pull us away from what matters most and start pursuing the presence of God with intention.
