Your Attention Is Worship: What the Bible Says About Distraction

Prefer YouTube? Watch it there.

You picked up your phone a few minutes ago and you don’t remember deciding to. This video covers what the research really shows about your attention (the honest numbers, and the famous ones that turn out to be in no study anybody ever ran), why a feed works like a coin flip your nervous system cannot put down, and what your attention is actually for. Scripture had a word for being “pulled apart” long before the feed existed.

What's Covered

  • The real attention research (and the viral numbers that are made up)
  • Why the feed is built like a slot machine, and why "dopamine detox" isn't real
  • What Luke 10, Psalm 86, and James 4 say about a scattered mind
  • The one discipline that gathers a divided heart
