47 Seconds Is All We Give Anything

About this episode

Pastor Anthony discusses the distractions of modern life and the importance of focusing on what truly matters.

You check your phone every 47 seconds. You say yes to everything and mean none of it. You refresh the news looking for a sign that something has finally gotten better. Somewhere in all of that, your actual life is happening — and nobody's really there for it. This week, Pastor Anthony looks at a moment where Jesus' closest friends ask exactly the wrong question, and what it reveals about where our attention goes when we're scared, overwhelmed, or just trying to manage the unmanageable. There's a distinction between what's yours to carry and what isn't — and learning the difference might be the most practical thing you do this week.
