Summary
It is easy to spend our lives distracted by everything except the mission God has given to us. Jeff challenges us to stop living under the “tyranny of the urgent” and instead focus on the people, responsibilities, and opportunities right in front of us.

| 0:33.8 | Welcome to the show this week, my friend. Hope you're having a good week, a fruitful week. |
| 0:39.7 | A quick reminder, we're disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we are on a mission with him. |
| 0:46.7 | And what a privilege it is. |
