Podcasts about distractions

Send us a textGUEST: GRANT CASTLEBERRY, pastor, The King's Chapel (Raleigh, NC)As we approach Christmas, a date that has been traditionally set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, it's remarkable to observe just how little all the hubbub around the “holidays” reflects this historic reason for the season.Blow-up Santas adorn yards, endless ads in print and on television entice purchasing endless things, and background music in stores croon about snowflakes, Frosty, and jingle bells.The obvious truth is this: the god of this world has successfully distracted and deceived society from focusing on the Christ of Christmas.At the same time, national and world events draw our attention—heated debates over politicians and policies, the cost of living, taxation, normalization of sexual sin, abortion, Islamic immigration, deportation of illegal immigrants, support of Israel, and the list goes on.While God designed us with the capacity to consider many different issues each day, one needs to be our priority, that “God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:9-10).Grant Castleberry, pastor of The King's Chapel in Raleigh, NC, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to help us avoid the distractions and keep Christ at the center of this Christmas season. A former captain in the US Marine Corps, Grant, along with his wife, GraceAnna, are the authors of Manger in Danger, an excellent, gospel-centered 25-day devotional for families with children.Grant will also explain how nations with Christian heritage, like England and the United States, have diverted from Christmas and the faith, become secularized and even welcomed Islamic immigration in the name of the false god of multiculturalism.-----------------PROGRAM NOTES:Manger in Danger for a donation of any amount.The King's Chapel in Raleigh, NCUnashamed Truth podcast

Music worship has become a vehicle to "market" God and create the false reality that through group "worship" we can conjure His presence. The operative part of the word "conjure" is CON. Our relationship with God is personal, intimate and present in everything we do. While worship can be a means to elevate our love, it is not a mechanism to manifest a relationship. These types of twisted truths open us up to the deceptions of the modern world... Ai that promises to make the perfect song, technology the promises to make a better world, technology and Ai that promise to solve humanities many problems. The root of our victory is in our willingness to submit to Him, live with Him and share this amazing journey with Him. Seek His face. Seek His voice.  #BardsFM_Morning #SeekHisVoice #BeStill Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

“Our longings are much more powerful than our logic, and our desires are stronger than our reason.” (Graham Tomlin on the thought of Blaise Pascal)The Rt. Rev. Dr. Graham Tomlin (St. Mellitus College, the Centre for Cultural Witness) joins Evan Rosa for a sweeping exploration of Blaise Pascal—the 17th-century mathematician, scientist, philosopher, and theologian whose insights into human nature remain strikingly relevant. Tomlin traces Pascal's life of brilliance and illness, his tension between scientific acclaim and radical devotion, and his deep engagement with Descartes, Montaigne, and Augustine. The conversation moves through Pascal's analysis of self-deception, his critique of rationalism and skepticism, the transformative Night of Fire, his compassion for the poor, and the wager's misunderstood meaning. Tomlin presents Pascal as a thinker who speaks directly to our distracted age, revealing a humanity marked by greatness, misery, and a desperate longing only grace can satisfy.Episode Highlights“Our longings are much more powerful than our logic, and our desires are stronger than our reason.”“The greatness and the refuse of the universe—that's what we are. We're the greatest thing and also the worst thing.”“If everybody knew what everybody else said about them, there would not be four friends left in the world.”“Only grace can begin to turn that self-oriented nature around and implant in us a desire for God.”“The reason you cannot believe is not because of your reason; it's because of your passions.”Show NotesGraham Tomlin introduces the Night of Fire and Pascal's meditation on “the greatness of the human soul”Evan Rosa frames Pascal as a figure of mystery, mechanics, faith, and modern technological influence.Tomlin contrasts Pascal with Descartes and Montaigne—rationalism vs. skepticism—locating Pascal between their poles.Pascal's awareness of distraction, competition, and “all men naturally hate each other” surfaces early as a key anthropological insight.Evan notes Nietzsche's striking admiration: “his blood runs through my veins.”Tomlin elaborates on Pascal's lifelong tension between scientific achievement and spiritual devotion.The story of the servant discovering the hidden Night of Fire parchment in Pascal's coat lining is recounted.Tomlin reads the core text: “Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy… Let me never be separated from him.”Pascal's distinction: “God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers.”Discussion of Jansenism, Augustinian anthropology, and the gravity of human fallenness.Tomlin sets the philosophical context: Pascal as a counter to both rationalist optimism and skeptical relativism.Pascal's core tension—grandeur and misery—is presented as the interpretive key to human nature.Quote emerges: “the greatness and the refuse of the universe—that's what we are.”Tomlin describes Pascal's political skepticism and the idea that politics offers only “rules for a madhouse.”Pascal's diagnosis of self-deception: “If everybody knew what everybody else said about them, there would not be four friends left in the world.”Evan raises questions about social hope; Tomlin answers with Pascal's belief that only grace can break self-love.They explore Pascal's critique of distraction and the famous line: “the sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room.”Tomlin ties this to contemporary digital distraction—“weapons of mass distraction”.The conversation turns to the wager, reframed not as coercion but exposure: unbelief is driven by passions more than reasons.Closing reflections highlight the apologetic project of the Pensées, Pascal's brilliance, and his ongoing relevance.Helpful Links and ReferencesSpecial thanks to the Center for Christian Witness and Seen and Unseen https://www.seenandunseen.com/Blaise Pascal: The Man Who Made the Modern World, by Graham Tomlin https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/graham-tomlin/blaise-pascal/9781399807661/Pensées, by Blaise Pascal https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18269Provincial Letters, by Blaise Pascal https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2407Why Being Yourself Is a Bad Idea, by Graham Tomlinhttps://www.amazon.com/Why-Being-Yourself-Bad-Idea/dp/0281087097Montaigne's Essays https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3600Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/23306Augustine's Confessions https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3296About Graham TomlinGraham Tomlin is a British theologian, writer, and church leader.

JB White shows up fully caffeinated and fully distracted as National Signing Day and a heartbreaking Gator loss collide, sending him into a whirlwind of sports frustration, coaching rumors, and Razor-sharp fan commentary. Once he regains focus, he dives into a rapid-fire exploration of global and domestic turmoil, from Marco Rubio's foreign-policy praise to Haiti's collapse under cartel control, the Caribbean drug-smuggling war, Europe's dependence games, and nonstop propaganda battles involving Russia, Ukraine, and sleeper cells inside the U.S. JB riffs on culture, geopolitics, immigration, corruption, and the accelerating Trump-led realignment, all while battling tech glitches, chat chaos, and an overwhelming desire to talk nothing but Gator hoops. Unfiltered, fiery, and sharply observant, this episode is pure RattlerGator energy.

On this episode of The Common Good, Brian From reflects on Giving Tuesday, the meaning of generosity, and why our response to God’s grace shapes how we give. He then tackles a growing debate in Christian circles—whether sending kids to public school is sinful—and offers a pastoral perspective rooted in freedom, wisdom, and family discernment. Finally, Brian explores how digital distraction is reshaping everything from Netflix scripts to our spiritual lives, and why Advent invites us back to focus, hope, and the presence of Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all drift. Distractions, emotional fatigue, unexpected issues—by mid-day, even the best intentions can get blurry. In Episode 615 of The Daily Influence, Brian explores the simple but powerful practice of the midday reset—a responsible act of influence that helps you slow down, realign, and finish your day with clarity instead of chaos. Drawing from The I in Team Series and S.M.A.R.T. Management, this episode walks you through reconnecting with your intention, reprioritizing based on real-world shifts, and recentering mentally, emotionally, and physically. A midday reset is not a luxury; it's an act of intentional leadership—one that benefits you and everyone touched by your influence.

In 2025 we're interrupted every 3-5 minutes — 40-70 times an hour. Most people guess 5-6. Do the raw 1-hour distraction challenge today (no changes, just track everything). Most quit at 17 minutes when the number gets embarrassing. Once you see the truth on paper, the urgency hits. Then kill the top 3 with a notification cleanse and focus blocks. Your focus is waiting — take it back.

As we step into Advent and the first days of a new liturgical year, I've been reflecting on how this season invites us to slow down, simplify, and refocus on the Lord.  Stepping into this season also brings up something I see constantly in coaching and in my own home: distraction.  Our kids wander off, lose focus, read a book instead of doing chores, or get sucked into the chat box during an online class instead of paying attention to the teacher. And nothing sends a homeschool mom through the roof faster than when your kid isn't doing what they should be!  But what I've come to understand, through a lot of prayer, trial, and humility, is that when I'm going ballistic, I'm the one who's actually distracted.  I'm distracted by an ideal. Distracted from the here and now.  Distracted from my real work.  Grab your earbuds to join me for a powerful episode where I'm going to share some strategies to help you and your kids to focus more, but of course deep down, we are going to be talking about how to calm down. How to refocus. How to listen. How to create compassion and connection. And how to step into the mission that God has placed on your unique heart to raise and educate these children to become great saints one day.  Join me right now for: How to Solve the Problem of Distraction.   Swap out your unwanted thoughts with 30 more powerful ones HERE!

While most Big CPG brand portfolios restructure, realign, and refocus…GHOST is making those strategic efforts by its parent company Keurig Dr Pepper a bit more complicated! After its recent M&A transition (involving JDE Peet's) closes, KDP plans to separate into two independent public companies…currently given generic “Global Coffee Co.” and “Beverage Co.” placeholder names. And this corporate restructuring move will significantly improve the previous KDP “refreshment beverages” segment by sharpening focus of decision-making, tailoring capital allocation strategies, and (overall) enhancing strategic optionality. But why did GHOST see that last point around “enhancing strategic optionality” and jump straight into launching a new product format…essentially complicating that KDP portfolio simplification process? Well…if you haven't seen the leaked images yet, GHOST is launching a Protein Bar this month at that's reminiscent of a Twix bar. And for those ignorant enough to think GHOST really is that impulsive, I can remember having strategic conversations surrounding “protein bars” with their co-founders dating back to 2018. And while all product innovation roads were destined to eventually lead back towards the protein bar category, GHOST proved (once again) it won't settle for swimming in the “Sea of Sameness” when distinctiveness is a powerful tool to gain a competitive edge.

Tragedies happen.  They are painful.  They are unfair.  They are often unavoidable.  And that would be WHY they are tragedy.  In the aftermath of tragedy, we find the character of leaders.  This is to say, Mad King Donnie responds poorly to tragedy.  He responds poorly to adversity, to criticism, to essentially everything to which a leader must respond.  Now watch the over-reaction, it's the clue to what is truly happening.The protestation, the tantrums, the accusations are all projection.  Watch closely and be ready.-T*CORRECTION...the Hegseth "Kill Em All" story was in the Washington Post, so I was wrong on both guesses!

In this episode of the Guns Podcast U.S., host Brent Wheat and special guest Roy Huntington dive deep into the critical decision-making process of self-defense. Taking a cue from the classic Kenny Rogers song, they discuss knowing "when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em" regarding lethal force. The conversation challenges the "keyboard commando" mentality, emphasizing that carrying a firearm does not obligate you to be a hero in every situation. Drawing from decades of combined law enforcement experience, Brent and Roy explore the "Scared Bunny Defense" and why evading a threat is often the superior tactical choice over engaging. They analyze real-world scenarios—from domestic disputes in parking lots to potential active shooter situations—to illustrate the legal and physical risks of inserting yourself into third-party conflicts. The episode also covers Jeff Cooper's Color Codes of Awareness and the stark difference between shooting paper targets and handling the adrenaline of a real-life confrontation. KEY TAKEAWAYS - The "Scared Bunny Defense"—retreating or avoiding conflict entirely—is often the most tactical and legally sound option for concealed carriers. - Carrying a gun requires leaving your ego at home; engaging in a conflict just to save face can lead to prison or death. - Possessing a firearm does not equal having the training to use it effectively; without stress inoculation, shooters often revert to zero skills. - Utilize Jeff Cooper's Color Codes (White, Yellow, Orange, Red) to maintain situational awareness and avoid being caught unprepared. - Intervening in third-party situations (like domestic disputes or robberies) exposes you to massive liability and physical danger often outweighing the benefits. - Distraction techniques, such as throwing a fake money clip or verbally de-escalating, can be effective alternatives to drawing a weapon. -- Have a topic idea or a guest you'd like to see in a future episode?

ABOUT THE EPISODE: There's a certain shift that occurs when you stop charging at your child's substance use and instead learn to back in quietly, treats in hand, like Rocky Kanaka (Sitting With Dogs) approaching a terrified shelter dog. In this conversation with Cathy, you'll discover how this counterintuitive approach, born from watching a man give positive affirmations to traumatized pit bulls, might actually hold the key to reconnecting with your own frightened, defensive teenager. (you have to listen now, right?!)Your child, barricaded behind substance use and sending desperate signals that "all is not okay," shares more with those cornered shelter dogs than you might want to admit. They're both scared, hurting, expecting another confrontation. Cathy's vulnerable admission—that she never found the words "Wow, I hear you. How can I help you?"—illuminates the cognitive friction so many parents experience when their instinct to fix collides with their child's need to simply be witnessed.What you'll learn:Why hours spent researching treatment centers might be less effective than learning to sit quietly with your child's discomfortHow holding boundaries actually signals to your child that you're willing to fight for them (even when they're furious)The strategic choreography of "backing in" versus coming at your child head-on with aggression and defensive body languageWhy starting with small boundaries—perhaps not even with your substance-using child—builds the mental fortitude for more significant onesThe liberating realization that a pissed-off kid is infinitely preferable to the alternativeCathy and I map the delicate territory between “jellyfish parenting” and authoritarian rigidity, where boundaries become acts of love and your willingness to endure discomfort becomes its own form of medicine. EPISODE RESOURCES: Hopestream episode 215: A Powerful Combo of Proven Tools for Families When Your Child Misuses Drugs and Alcohol, with Dr. Jennifer Fernandez (why people use a particular substance) Sitting With Dogs on YouTube This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick unpack what it really means to “choose your challenge wisely” in your health, family, and business. They share a real-life story of a family navigating a child's “incurable” diagnosis and contrast the challenge of doing deep, integrative work with the hidden challenge of staying in the conventional, band-aid model. They call out how distraction culture, social media, and living by everyone else's “shoulds” pull you away from your true values, your family, and your unique mission—and how reflection, aligned challenge, and inspiration (not desperation) are the real path to a life you actually love. #ChooseYourChallengeWisely #IntegrativeYou #IntegrativeMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #ConsciousParenting #GenerationalHealth #ValuesDrivenLife #MindBodySpirit #HolisticHealing #HealingJourney #QuantumHealing #NeuroscienceAndHealing #HealthIsWealth #LegacyLiving #IntentionalLiving #InspirationOverDesperation #DistractionDetox #FamilyFirstLeadership #HighPerformanceMoms #EntrepreneurHealth   3 Key Takeaways: You can't escape challenge—only choose which one you're willing to live with. Medication and band-aids come with their own set of challenges: behavior issues, neurological inflammation, family disruption, more diagnoses down the line. Doing the deeper integrative work is also a challenge—but it's the one that actually moves you toward a healthy child, a healthy body, and a healthy family dynamic. Life expands when your challenge is connected to your highest values. When the pain and effort are tied to what matters most—your kids, your health, your mission, your freedom—the challenge becomes inspiring instead of draining. If you're constantly complaining, procrastinating, and feeling “over it,” you're probably working on the wrong challenge or you haven't connected it to what's truly important to you. Distraction is stealing your clarity, your presence, and your legacy. Living on social media, comparing your life, your business, or your family to everyone else keeps you out of touch with your own values. Reflection time, stillness, and honest self-inquiry are non-negotiable if you want to stop living by “I should / I have to / I need to” and start curating a life rooted in inspiration instead of desperation.    Quotes:  “You don't get to opt out of challenge—you only get to choose the one that leads you closer to the life you actually want.” “Life isn't happening to you; every challenge is a feedback mechanism redirecting you from desperation to a life rooted in inspiration and your true values.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry breaks down some of the most common distractions chiropractors fall into when they are struggling, overwhelmed, or searching for the fast track to success. These distractions often look promising on the surface, but they rarely address the real issues holding a practice back. Jerry explains why these diversions are so tempting, how they derail progress, and what chiropractors should be focusing on instead if they want to build a stable and successful practice. The heart of the episode revolves around the idea that success in chiropractic is built on simple, consistent, and often boring fundamentals. When those fundamentals are missing, chiropractors become vulnerable to shiny objects that promise quick wins. These diversions can drain time, money, and energy while pushing the chiropractor further away from the work that actually helps them grow. Jerry outlines six major categories of distractions that repeatedly show up in conversations with struggling chiropractors. Each one is rooted in the desire to find an easier path than doing the foundational work, yet each one almost always leads to more frustration. Key Distractions Covered in This Episode • Online sales and affiliate marketing Chiropractors often hear that they can make "easy money" online by selling products, creating digital courses, or writing recommendation blogs with affiliate links. Jerry explains why this is almost never productive for a local chiropractor. Online selling requires an enormous amount of trust, attention, and audience size. Most chiropractors do not have the kind of influence necessary to make online sales meaningful. It becomes a detour away from patient care, community connection, and building a local business that people trust. • Selling their own expertise through high ticket coaching Big ticket coaching programs and personal expertise packages are frequently marketed as a shortcut to higher revenue. Chiropractors are told that it is just as easy to sell a three thousand dollar coaching package as it is to sell a three hundred dollar one. Jerry highlights why this mindset is problematic. Coaching is a completely different business that very few chiropractors are qualified for or prepared to run. High ticket selling might work for a rare few, but most chiropractors simply end up spending time building a business that distracts them from the practice they are trying to grow. • Special techniques and certifications Chiropractors who love technique can convince themselves that one more certification, one more seminar, or one more advanced system will finally unlock the success they want. Jerry reminds listeners that while additional training is valuable, it is almost never the reason a practice is struggling. Many mediocre chiropractors are successful in business, while many clinically gifted chiropractors struggle because they have not built strong habits, systems, or communication. Technique mastery is great, but it is not a substitute for running a strong business. • Special equipment and passive therapies There is always a new device, table, laser, or machine promising to increase revenue and attract new patients. Chiropractors imagine that if they could just finance the newest gadget, everything would finally click. Jerry emphasizes that expensive equipment does not fix traffic issues, retention issues, or communication issues. If a practice is unstable, adding more debt and more complexity makes the problem worse. Equipment can be helpful when it aligns with the practice model, but it is almost never the missing ingredient a struggling chiropractor thinks it is. • Obsessing over social media and trying to become an influencer Many chiropractors pour energy into going viral, creating endless reels, or chasing likes and followers. Social media feels productive, but it rarely translates into meaningful revenue for a local service business. Jerry shares examples of posts reaching millions of views without generating income. Social media can be a helpful tool for building trust and connection within a local community, but chasing fame is almost always a distraction that keeps chiropractors from focusing on patient care, reputation, and retention. • Evaluating success only by new patient numbers Chiropractors often judge their entire practice by how many new patients they see in a month. Jerry explains why this is a flawed metric when used in isolation. A practice with strong retention, follow through, reactivations, referrals, and good communication can thrive with modest new patient numbers. But a practice with a leaky bucket will always struggle no matter how many people enter the front door. Focusing only on new patients distracts chiropractors from fixing deeper issues in their systems and workflows. Core Themes From the Episode • Success in chiropractic is difficult and takes time. Anyone who claims it is easy is either lying or the rare exception. • Shiny objects distract chiropractors from the consistent habits and foundational systems that actually create long term stability. • Most frustrations stem from weak fundamentals such as poor onboarding, unclear communication, lack of follow up, and inconsistent routines. • The chiropractors who win are the ones who stop swinging for home runs and start accumulating base hits through steady effort and simple processes. • A year from now, your future self will thank you more for mastering fundamentals than for chasing shortcuts. What Chiropractors Should Focus On Instead • Clear communication and consistent recommendations • Strong onboarding and follow through • Building trust with patients and the local community • Basic marketing foundations such as Google visibility and a good website • Simple reactivation and referral processes • Becoming great at chiropractic instead of chasing external validation • Slow, steady, predictable habits that raise the floor of the practice over time This episode encourages chiropractors to step back, take an honest look at where their energy is going, and identify whether they have been pulled into distractions instead of building a stable foundation. The message is clear. Leave the shortcuts behind, recommit to the basics, and give yourself a year of focused effort. Most chiropractors are not one seminar, one machine, or one viral post away from success. They are one year of consistency away from stability.

I found a great reminder for all of us when it comes to creating something special in our life and the fact that there are tons of distractions out there that we need to filter through. From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) he shares this thought from his book “The Carpenter” - “To create something special you have to care more about what you are creating than the distractions vying for your attention.”  Well, seeing that there are tons of distractions for all of us in our world today - I wanted to get this out there so we can start to maybe find ways to focus on what we want more than we focus on those distractions. For me, it's always challenging, but I'm working toward getting better with this.
