About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of being present in the moment and not getting distracted by past or future concerns.

Many of us live in the past or in the future, and we’re not present to anything. The devil loves to use this tactic to rob us, to get us listening to the wrong voice and pulling us away from the one thing we can do something about: the present moment. We talked last week about some of those voices and who they’re coming from. Today Victor and I follow this theme some more and talk about what happens when we listen to those voices and focus on the things we can’t change. We can’t change the past, and the future is unknown. But to God, everything is present. He’s present. And with Him is where He wants you to be. So be present with us for a little while, and then go and be present with your friends, your family, and with God. “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.” (Matthew 6:34) Follow this link to order your signed copy today: https://store.justaguyinthepew.com/ Learn more about our pilgrimage: Walk in the Footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II with John 👉https://selectinternationaltours.com/product/in-the-footsteps-of-st-john-paul-ii-pilgrimage-to-poland-with-john-edwards-and-fr-kacper-wojcieszko/ Launch a Life Changing Group for Men in Your Parish! ⛪️…
