How do we fix our attention? What’s wrong with it anyway?
Today Brandon and Peter talk about the human faculty of attention, how and why it’s often hijacked, and what needs fixing. At the core of the problem with our attention is our human need for security and significance. The world is like a chaotic carnival that distracts and overwhelms us with many loud voices all trying to bend our attention to their own interests. We’re not safe and we have no idea where to turn for trusted direction and guidance. The good news is that we have a powerful ally working on our behalf. Jesus, the lord, is near. We are not alone to be harassed and manipulated, God himself is for us with the entirety of his being! Secure in his loving presence, we can finally attend to something else beyond the chaos of the world: Jesus. “Fixing” our gaze of Jesus is paradoxically what fixes our attention.
May you find this episode valuable and encouraging! Jesus love you.
