Podcasts about do i have your attention

When we make certain choices, often without even realizing it, we can turn a teaching moment from one that should be clear into one that's confusing. Luckily, these choices are pretty easy to spot and fix once we know what to look for, and cognitive science can help us understand what's going on. In this episode I'm going to talk about three of these with Blake Harvard, who writes the Effortful Educator blog and has just published a new book, Do I Have Your Attention? Understanding Memory Constraints and Maximizing Learning. Thanks to Boclips Classroom and Brisk Teaching for sponsoring this episode.

Main Idea: The minute that you become a believer, you're called to become a dragon slayer. In your confession of faith, you simultaneously join the army of God and enter into the spiritual fight against the devil and his demons. We live in a world that operates in both the physical and spiritual, and because the devil is always working to kill, steal and destroy we must be working to save, deliver and build up. In order to be able to do that, you should learn to understand how your enemy operates. 'Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels. ' -Revelation 12:7-9 People often adopt Hollywood-like ideas of demons and the spiritual world but don't realize that they are actually glorifying the demonic, making it out to be more powerful and confusing than it actually is. Ironically enough, even when it comes to the idea of defending oneself or fighting against these ooga-booga creatures, because of movies and classic superstitions, most people imagine that you have to use witchcraft-like practices in order to fight against witchcraft-like enemies. Thank God that it is much simpler than that. Today we're going to talk about understanding the enemy when it comes to the spiritual world. We're going to expose his tactics and goals, and we're going to learn how to identify some red flags of the demonic. And most of all, we're going to learn about how there is nothing that we should feel intimidated about when it comes to spiritual warfare. ————————————————— 1. Do I Have Your Attention? [IF THE DEVIL CAN'T DEMORALIZE YOU, HE'LL DISTRACT YOU] (Revelation 12:10-11; Acts of the Apostles 16:16-18) If he can't steal your confidence in the Lord is try to distract you from your mission and calling. And these kinds of distractions can often come in very disguised packages, so you have to use a level of awareness and discernment in order to be able to expose them. When something curious comes up, you need to simply ask yourself, “what is this taking my attention from? And where is my attention going?” 2. What Sharp Teeth You Have [DON'T BE TRICKED INTO DARKNESS BY THOSE WHO HATE CHRIST] (2 Corinthians 6:14-15; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13; Romans 12:21) We're called to bring people from death to life. We're called to love people. We're called to be merciful and show the compassion of Christ. We were all once dead in our lives of sin and even now, none of us are perfect. But we are not called to trample on the name of Christ to bring someone to Christ. You can not treat the blood of Christ as meaningless to glorify it. You can not defeat darkness with darkness. 3. God Is Bigger Than The Boogeyman [DARKNESS TREMBLES IN THE PRESENCE OF LIGHT] (James 2:19; Romans 16:20; Luke 10:17-20) One of the most important and powerful things to understand about the grace of God that you've been given is that just as you have been given salvation without being able to earn it, you have been given authority in the name of Jesus without being able to earn it. You don't have to fret by the attempted intimidation of the devil because you have already been given the victory over him through Christ Jesus. — To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok by searching @gravetopchurch --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gravetopchurch/support

The fight for our attention is key to understanding the modern media landscape, startup culture, capital allocation, and more importantly and ultimately, our economic system as a whole. Today we go live to the Visions Summit to ask the question, "Just how profitable can distraction be? And can we claw back any semblance of mindfulness without sacrificing prosperity?"

Our attention has become a valuable resource. Back in the day, advertising could be segregated to time spent watching TV, at the movie theater, reading the news or walking or driving around. Now it’s in our bedrooms, our office space, and follows us everywhere we happen to be consuming images on our phones. As social … Continue reading Episode 27: Do I Have Your Attention →

Ep. 2 Transcript[coffee beans grinding, then pouring played underneath the voice-over]I love the sound of coffee beans being ground up. It’s like I’m addicted to it. There’s something about the way it starts off crackly and percussive as it breaks up the beans into a smaller chunks and then gradually levels out into a smooth, steady hum, signalling that it’s ready to become my first cup of the coffee for the day. [pouring sound]Really great podcasts can activate a similar kind of sonic addiction. Check out this first line from Ira Glass on an episode of This American Life[General hum and murmur]Podcast intros like that reach out into the humming mass of the media-saturated world and like that [murmuring stops suddenly] hook their listenersTitle sequence Today’s episode “Do I Have Your Attention?”The average podcast is around 20 minutes. With so much media to consume out there, podcasters must have to work extra hard to engage listeners within the first 30 seconds, or people will take their ears elsewhere. As Martha Little points out in her article “How Podcasts get and keep your attention,” many podcasts do this by leaving “puzzle bait,” which she describes as starting off the show with “a question or strange postulation” [Crimetown]I mean, who doesn’t want to keep listening after an intro like that? I have so many questions: why did this guy getting beat up? How was the mayor involved? How is this person the mayor?This kind of ‘puzzle bait” is unusual for something like radio, where interesting or ambiguous introductions are typically discarded in favor of simple, straightforward reporting.Live news has a very different audience than a podcast. People turn to news for a quick rundown of what’s going on in the world. As a result, newscasters don’t always have time to for intriguing introductions. Although podcast and radio are both audio media, podcasting is very different genre. For one thing, podcasts need to be much more engaging. For a live news broadcast, the greatest advantage is that it’s live. The information is new, so people want to hear it.However, somebody doing a podcast about something like, I don’t know, an obscure crime that happened almost 20 years ago, you need to make the information salient for the listener, make it newsworthy[intro to Serial, Ep. 1]Of course, if you’ve ever taken a writing class, you’re probably familiar with the idea of the “introductory hook.” Your English teacher probably said something like “make sure to start your paper with something that engages the reader, like a question, strange fact, or a startling statistic.” Not bad advice, but when it comes to introductions, the best thing to keep in mind is “keep it simple.” Get to the point. Don’t waste your reader’s time with pseudo-profound statements like “since the dawn of man.”For example, Here’s the opening to an article by Ian Bogost for an article he wrote for the Atlantic: “I worry.”That’s it. Not “Human have been worrying since the dawn of time” or “You know what people do a lot of? Worrying.” With this short (in this case, very short) sentence, Bogost is able to cut through to his main point and establish a bridge to his audience via a shared feeling: worry.The rhetorician Kenneth Burke refers to this kind of “emotional bridge” as “identification.” In “A Rhetoric of Motives,” Burke describes how identification is primary to all forms of persuasion. When we try to convince someone to do or think something, Burke writes that we first have to identify with them. Identification is about finding and establishing shared interests. For instance, if you were going to try to convince your boss to let you off work early, you would try to create identification with your boss. If you are both parents, you might appeal to your shared interests in raising a good family; Or maybe you leaving work early will allow you to do your job better, and thus ultimately benefit the company and your boss. “Puzzle bait” podcast introductions are also a kind of identification. As we listen, we begin to identify with the speaker[Planet money: professor blackjack intro]In this intro from Planet Money, the host describes a scene in vivid detail, making the listeners feel as though they are sitting alongside him and having a shared experience.It’s a simple concept, but it works. Identification can even be something as simple as identifying that the speaker is someone who (like you) enjoys the sound of coffee beans getting ground up. [Coffee grinding then Outro music]
