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.

Your mind is tired. Your phone won’t stop buzzing. Your to do list feels like a browser with forty open tabs.

So what do you do when focus feels impossible?

In this episode, Jonathan Kindler redefines attention as more than a productivity skill. Scripture treats it as worship and stewardship. Drawing from Colossians 3:2 and Psalm 16:8, Jonathan explores why the Bible speaks in terms of what we “set” our minds on, and how scattered attention often reflects a scattered heart.

Through a blend of biblical insight and clinical understanding, he explains how dopamine loops, overstimulation, and decision fatigue pull us in a hundred directions at once. Then he offers a different path forward: simple, worshipful attention. You will learn practical tools like sensory resets, single tasking as worship, and the “one thing” rule from Luke 10:42, where Mary chooses the better part in a room full of demands.

If your thoughts have felt noisy, fragmented, or out of your control, this conversation reframes focus not as a personality trait, but as a way of walking with God in a world that constantly pulls your eyes away.

Because attention is never just about getting things done.

It is about who you keep before you.
