EP 29 | What Is Distraction Costing You?
What is distraction really doing to your soul?
In this episode, Jonathan Kindler takes listeners beneath the noise of our digital world and into the deeper question our phones rarely let us ask: What direction is my life actually pointed right now? Through Scripture, storytelling, and a painfully accurate stand-up opener about nonstop notifications, Jonathan explores why distraction isn’t neutral. It forms us. It scatters our affection. It slowly pulls our gaze off the Lord.
Blending Proverbs 4, Ephesians 5, and Psalm 119 with clinical insight and a personal story about learning straight lines with a push mower, this episode reframes distraction not as a time-management problem, but a discipleship one. You’ll discover how digital noise reshapes the nervous system, why stillness feels like withdrawal, and how Scripture calls you back to a fixed point, a North Star, that steadies your steps.
If you’ve felt scattered, unfocused, spiritually thin, or pulled in a hundred directions before breakfast, this conversation offers five practical anchors to help you reclaim your gaze, recover your direction, and return your attention to the One who never drifts.
Whether you’re weary, overwhelmed, or simply tired of zig-zagging through the day, this episode invites you back to clarity. To presence. To the steadying gift of direction.
