Abstract

In this episode, where both of us find ourselves away from our usual recording "studios," we first chat about Oliver's "missionary trip" to Canada. Then we move to discuss the essential topic of attention, including the effect of attention economies, what attention is, how it connects to meaningful living, how, conversely, its fragmentation has numerous deleterious effects, how the Scriptures put a premium on the proper nurturing of attention, and how for Paul a life of contentment tracks our ability to direct our thoughts to subjects that matter most.
