Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Dream Big Podcast. And we're talking about the biggest kind

of dream you could have today, which is to be undistracted. Not surprisingly, I've got

a book by that name. And it's going to come out March 1st. And my hope is this that

people would read the stories, hear the words, and it would jostle something loose in you

and the other people that read it to say, what is it that I'm distracted by? What is it

that's taken me kind of away from being present to with people and to actually turn around

my head to the left and the right? I'm just not where my feet are anymore. I've noticed

And there's a Friday and Saturday. I lose track how many days that is, but seven or eight

out of seven. What I want you to do right now is take an inventory of what's distracting

you. Don't do it if you're driving because you're swerve off the road, which will be yet

you could say there's these things that I know everybody says I'm supposed to believe.

But do I actually believe these? There's a great verse. It's in Mark 9. It's a dad. I

can relate to an honest conversation from a dad. I made questions about getting his

son healed. And when he's talking to Jesus, he said, I believe just help my unbelief.

Like help me with the parts that I don't yet kind of get my arms around. And if we're

really authentic with our self undistracted by what our faith looks like and more interested

in what it actually is, you'll say there's some stuff I don't quite get. I'm not like

critical of. I'm on like team faith. But there's some stuff I just haven't experienced
