Ever feel like your peace keeps leaking no matter how much you “unplug”? We go straight to the source: the inputs that shape your inner life. Eyes and ears are gates to the heart, and the heart drives your words, choices, and leadership. When we treat media, conversations, and constant noise as harmless, we end up reinforcing the very mindsets we’re trying to escape. Think of Israel’s 11-day journey that stretched into 40 years—distance wasn’t the problem; legacy mindsets were. The same drift happens when we accept labels others speak over us, call trauma “mine,” or binge content that muddies our lens.

We unpack the difference between good things and God things, why a flicker of excitement is a poor foundation for big projects, and how leaders invite consequences when they stop guarding their focus. From David and Bathsheba to the farmer’s fields, you’ll hear how neglect is as dangerous as poison: if you don’t choose what gets planted, the environment will decide for you. That’s why redirected focus matters. You don’t overcome darkness by studying it—you turn on better light. We share practical, simple practices: a media audit with one piercing question, conversation upgrades that trade gossip for growth, and a daily detox that renews your inner atmosphere in minutes.

This is an invitation to curate your world without hiding from it, to fight for peace rather than wait for it, and to clean your inner window so reality stops looking darker than it is. Choose inputs that are true, noble, and lovely; build circles that speak life and challenge compromise; and guard the gates that form your beliefs. If this sparked something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a nudge to protect their peace, and leave a five-star review so more people can find the show. What’s one input you’re cutting—or one you’re choosi
