Podcasts about distracted

Some mornings I sit down to pray and the words come easily. Other mornings, my Bible is open and my prayer list is in front of me, but my mind is already moving into the day ahead. I've learned not to rush on those mornings. Sometimes I just need to pray for a while before I'm truly praying. Today I'm sharing a little encouragement for those times when our hearts are slow to settle before the Lord.

His message? 95% of people are drifting through life, and the systems we trust — government, education, even media — are designed to keep us numb. In this review, I get into:

Before convincing yourself you need more time… check your screen time.In this solo episode of Beauty Behind the Brand, Nicole shares what she's noticed since becoming much more intentional about putting her phone down—and how something as simple as one uninterrupted hour can completely change the way a day feels.After coming home from a busy week away to an upside-down house, no groceries, piles of laundry and a never-ending to-do list, Nicole put her phone away and went into reset mode. An hour later, everything felt different.We're talking about the difference between creating vs. consuming, why not all screen time is equal, using your phone as a tool for business without letting it use you, and the small changes Nicole has been making to feel more productive, present and grounded.From charging your phone away from your bed and setting screen-time limits to taking phone-free walks, creating uninterrupted work blocks and simply being more present with the people in front of you, this episode is filled with realistic ways to become more mindful of your phone—without deleting social media or disappearing from the internet.Nicole also shares how she's using AI and ChatGPT to spend more of her screen time creating, planning and growing her business rather than mindlessly consuming.Whether you're a mom, entrepreneur, business owner or simply someone wondering where all your time keeps going, consider this your challenge:Put your phone down for one uninterrupted hour and see what happens.Your phone isn't the enemy.

Everyone is tired. Everyone is anxious. Everyone is distracted. And the instinct is to just power through, but this new series asks a different question: what if we powered down instead? We dig into the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, where Jesus gently confronts Martha not because she is doing bad things, but because she is drowning in good ones. The real problem, Jesus suggests, is not a calendar problem or a technology problem. It is a soul problem, a deep human tendency to believe that our worth comes from what we do, what we have, or what others think of us. Mary understood something Martha missed: the one thing we actually need is not another task completed but unhurried time with Jesus himself. This week we begin exploring what it looks like, practically and daily, to choose connection over consumption and dwelling over doing.

Once a fierce persecutor of the Church, Paul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus and was radically changed. From that moment on, his life was poured out in service to Christ—preaching the gospel, planting churches, raising leaders, enduring persecution, and writing much of the New Testament. Paul knew suffering, sacrifice, endurance, and opposition, but through it all, he stayed focused on one thing: finishing the race God had given him with faithfulness, strength, and purpose.Foundational Scripture for the SeriesHebrews 12:1 (ESV)“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”[IF PAUL…] sat down at the campfire across from us, I think he would say something like this: “Starting strong may get attention, but finishing faithful is what honors God.”Today Paul speaks to anyone who's asking, “How do I stay faithful all the way to the end?” Our big idea today is this: A strong finish requires endurance, focus, and an unshakable commitment to God's purpose. Some of you in this room are not in a starting season… you are in a staying season. You are not just asking, “What is God calling me to do?” You are asking, “How do I stay faithful? How do I keep going? How do I not get distracted, discouraged, or depleted before I get where God is leading me?”Paul helps us answer that, so let's take a walk through his story.Point 1: FINISHING WELL DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT2 Timothy 4:6–7“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”Paul is near the end of his earthly life, and he's not speaking with regret over wasted years. He's speaking with the sober confidence of a man who has lived intentionally.Paul says, “I have fought.”… “I have finished.”… “I have kept.”The language Paul uses tells us that Paul didn't see himself as drifting into a strong finish.Paul's words indicate that he feels He intentionally lived toward a strong finish in life. Paul lived with the end in view. Strong finishes come from daily faithfulness. A strong finish is not built in one dramatic moment… A strong finish is built in a thousand, faithful daily decisions.Daily obedience… Daily repentance… Daily prayer… Daily endurance.Daily saying yes to God when the race feels way too long.This matters because our culture celebrates the spotlight, but rarely values the hidden faithfulness that made the moment possible.We want: The finish without the formation… and lasting fruit without the long obedience.[IF WE ARE GOING TO FINISH WELL…] we have live fully convinced that Today matters… fully convinced that Today's choices matter… fully convinced that Today's compromises matter… fully convinced that Today's disciplines matter.fully convinced that Today's yes matters… and fully convinced that Today's hidden faithfulness matters.Finishing well is not about perfection… Paul knew, at a very deep level, that he was the benefactor of God's amazing Grace!Finishing well is about direction… it's about intention[FINISHING WELL…] is about living with a clear sense that your life is not random and your race is not casual.Paul's life is challenging some people in this room to make a shift from living reactively to living intentionally.Galatians 6:9 — “And let us not grow weary of doing good…”Proverbs 4:25–27 speaks of fixing your gaze straight ahead and staying on the path.BIG TRUTH: A STRONG FINISH IS OFTEN THE RESULT OF LONG, QUIET FAITHFULNESS. POINT 2: YOU MUST STAY FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT GOALPhilippians 3:12–14“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on… forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal…”The phrase “toward the goal” matters… Paul had focus… Paul had a goal.[BIG KEY] [THIS IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE…] CLARITY OF YOUR PURPOSE PROTECTS YOUR ENDURANCE. One of the reasons many people do not finish well is they slowly lost focus.They got distracted… Distracted by success… by hurt… by people… by offense… by comparison… by comfort.Distracted by things that may not even be sinful in themselves, but are still heavy enough to slow your race.[THIS BRINGS US BACK…]  to Hebrews 12:1 where the writer says: “Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely…”Not just sin… Weights tooSome things do not have to be evil to be unhelpful.Some things do not have to be sinful to still become spiritually costly.Some things simply weaken your focus.Paul refused that kind of drift… He knew where he was going… and He knew what kind of life he wanted to live before God.Paul understood that if you keep the right goal in front of you, it becomes easier to say no to things that weaken our focus and distract us from the race.We don't need more options… we need sharper focus.We don't need more activity… we need greater clarity.You do not need to chase everything… You need to stay aligned with what God actually called you to.Luke 9:62 — “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”1 Corinthians 9:26 — “So I do not run aimlessly…”BIG TRUTH: YOU CANNOT FINISH WELL IF YOU KEEP GIVING YOUR STRENGTH TO THINGS THAT WEAKEN YOUR FOCUS. POINT 3: STRENGTH FOR THE RACE COMES FROM JESUSOne of the great testimonies of Paul's life is that he endured a hard road with God-given strength.Paul faced Persecution… Imprisonment… Rejection… Beatings… Shipwreck… Misunderstanding… Pressure… Loss… And yet he kept going.Why and How? Because he was not drawing strength only from himself.Acts 20:24“But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course…”Paul endured hardship because his life was anchored in God's calling. Calling gives strength when the road gets hard.Trouble was not called to Laurel, Nece and I were! (Trouble Don't Last Always)We find ourselves exhausted because we're are trying to sustain a God-given assignment with self-generated strength.We were never designed to life the life of a Christ follower carried by our willpower alone.We need grace… We need the power of the Holy Spirit… and we need the strength of Jesus.When you know your life belongs to God, when you know your race matters, when you know your course is from Him, then even painful seasons are carried differently.And Paul knew where his strength came from… and WE DO TOO!Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”The Lord's word to you today is not simply, “Try harder.”It's: “Draw closer.” And “Receive My strength.” And “Let Me sustain what I called.”Isaiah 40:31 — “They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength…”2 Corinthians 4:16 — “Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.”BIG TRUTH: CALLING SUSTAINED BY CHRIST CAN CARRY YOU THROUGH SEASONS YOUR OWN STRENGTH CANNOT. WAYS TO LIVE PAUL'S LESSON1. LIVE TODAY WITH THE FINISH LINE IN MINDDo not live only for the moment.Do not make decisions as though today is all that matters.Live today with the finish line in mind. Ask yourself: Is this helping me finish well?... Is this strengthening my race or weakening it?2. REFUSE DISTRACTIONS THAT WEAKEN YOUR FOCUSNot everything that calls for your attention deserves your energy.Refuse distractions that weaken your focus. Lay aside the weights… Simplify what needs to be simplified.Keep the goal in front of you.3. DRAW STRENGTH FROM GOD, NOT JUST YOUR OWN EFFORTYou are not called to run this race alone or in your own strength.Draw strength from God, not just your own effort. Pray… Wait on Him… Receive grace… Stay close to Jesus.Let His strength renew you.4. MEASURE SUCCESS BY FAITHFULNESS TO YOUR CALLINGDo not let culture define success for you.Do you look more like Jesus right now than you did this same time last year.CLOSINGPaul's life reminds us that the goal is not just to begin well… but to finish well.The goal is to keep running until the course God gave you is complete.Do not be afraid to pour your life out for what matters most… Because a strong finish requires endurance, focus, and an unshakable commitment to God's purpose. [BECAUSE…] what is poured out for God will never be wasted.RESPONSE / PRAYER MOMENTMaybe today your prayer sounds like this:“Lord, help me live with the finish line in mind.”“Lord, remove the distractions that are weakening my focus.”“Lord, renew my strength for the race.”“Lord, help me measure success by faithfulness, not fame.”

Distracted

Ken and Lima dig into Rex Ryan's criticism of Shedeur Sanders' off-field content (photoshoots, music, a short film), framing it as a generational divide—guys in Ryan's era don't get why every young quarterback with a fan base now runs a personal brand. They point out Todd Monken, despite being around Ryan's age, seems far more attuned to modern NIL-era players, while contrasting Shedeur with Arch Manning, who's deliberately avoided this kind of exposure. The two debate whether Shedeur's business ventures are actually costing him on the field, invoking Baker Mayfield's similar media-obligations criticism early in his Browns tenure as a precedent that ultimately proved irrelevant to his play. They close split on whether Shedeur is genuinely distracted or just an easy target because of his historically rough rookie season and fifth-round slide.

Everyone talks about managing time. But what if time is not the problem? In this episode of the Empowered Team Podcast, Kari Schneider explores one of the biggest challenges facing leaders, professionals, and high performers today: the erosion of attention. Research shows that our average screen attention span has dropped from 2.5 minutes to just 47 seconds. Meanwhile, every interruption can require up to 23 minutes of recovery time. The result? More stress, less productivity, and a growing sense of depletion. Kari unpacks groundbreaking research from Dr. Gloria Mark and Dr. Amishi Jha to reveal how attention actually works and why understanding it can dramatically improve your leadership, performance, and well-being. In This Episode, You'll Discover: • Why attention is the true currency of a high-performing life • The hidden cost of interruptions and multitasking • The three attention systems: Flashlight, Floodlight, and Juggler • Why decision fatigue is not a character flaw, but biology • How your attention directly impacts energy, productivity, and leadership effectiveness • The “Token Model” for managing cognitive energy throughout the day • How to schedule your calendar around attention instead of tasks • Practical ways to restore focus and prevent burnout Key Takeaway Stop managing your time and start managing your attention. The quality of your life, leadership, relationships, and results depends on where your attention goes. When you learn to protect it, replenish it, and direct it intentionally, everything changes.

Ali Mac, Mike Johnson and special guest Jason Longshore continue to recap and react to the U.S. Men's National Team being eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup last night after their 4-1 loss to Belgium in the round of 16, and explain why they think the Folarin Balogun situation heavily distracted the USMNT and heavily motivated Belgium.

Geoffrey Wawro, guest author, concludes that after the 1973 peace deal, the NVA rebuilt their forces, confident that a distracted US government—weakened by Watergate and the oil crisis—would not intervene again. When the final 1975 offensive began, President Ford did not react, and the ARVN, suffering from slashed funding and ammunition shortages, rapidly collapsed. President Thieu's decision to abruptly abandon northern provinces turned the retreat into a disordered rabble, leading to the fall of Saigon. The war's ultimate lesson was the futility of using extreme violence for political signaling, as the massive expenditure of lives and treasure had little lasting effect on the ground in Southeast Asia. The conflict was never approached strategically; instead, it was a series of tactical escalations hoping for a "lucky break." Ultimately, the US supported a government in South Vietnam that lacked the foundation for long-term success. The Vietnam War: A Military History (8)

Do you ever feel like you’re “on” all the time? Your phone buzzes, your inbox fills up, Slack notifications pop up, a text comes in, and someone tags you on social media. And before you know it, you’re responding to everyone else while your own needs continue to fall to the bottom of the list. Sound familiar? You may not know how to set boundaries at work. In this episode of Making Shift Happen, we’re exploring one of the biggest contributors to chronic stress that few people talk about: constant accessibility. Being available 24/7 might make you feel productive, but it’s often keeping your nervous system in a state of heightened alert. When your brain never gets a true break, your focus, recovery, creativity, relationships, and overall well-being all begin to suffer. If you’re a busy professional, business owner, parent, athlete, or simply someone who feels like everyone has access to your time except you, this episode is for you. We’ll talk about why setting healthy boundaries isn’t selfish, why your nervous system needs periods of true “off” time, and simple strategies to help you reclaim your attention without sacrificing your goals.
