We live in a world that has become disciples of the internet. We’re addicted to distraction, consumed by endless notifications, and we idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. But if all this connectivity is supposed to make life better, why are we more anxious, dissatisfied, and weary than ever?

New York Times bestselling author and counselor John Eldredge joins me today to offer a way out of the digital overwhelm.

He introduces a path to experiencing real, deep communion with Jesus by making room for Him daily. Together, John and I will unpack why our souls are starved for intimacy with God, how to disconnect and break free from distraction, and simple practices to restore our childlike faith and wonder.

Plus, be sure to listen to the very end because I’m sharing a beautiful song from Michael O’Brien that features a Scripture reading by Alistair Begg. It’s the perfect way to seal this life-giving message.
