In this episode, Grant chats with Ian Simkins about the sneaky trap of workaholism—especially for young leaders hustling in ministry or chasing impact. They dive into signs like constant exhaustion, ditching hobbies, and why even "good" busyness can pull us from God's easy yoke. If you're building something big but feeling burned out, this convo will hit home and point you toward real rest and rhythm.

In this episode, Grant sits down with Aro co-founder Joey Odom to talk about why we’re so addicted to our devices and, more importantly, what we can actually do about it. Joey shares some mind-blowing insights into how our phones have become adult security blankets, keeping us from the real, meaningful connections we were made for.

Grant and Joey get practical with four simple habits you can start today to change your relationship with technology and reclaim your presence with your family and friends. This isn't about demonizing technology; it's about learning to be the master of it, not the other way around. If you want to be a more present leader, husband, father, or friend, this is for you!
