*Trigger warning: This episode does include conversations about infant loss.

It’s no secret we live more distracted lives than ever in 2023, and we have a calling as believers, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and co-workers to ditch the distractions and engage with God and the people around us.

Katie Westenberg is the author of I Choose Brave and, most recently, And Then She Remembered: How to Give God Your Full Attention in a Distracted World. Katie and Kaitlin talk about her latest book and why it matters that we remember God’s faithfulness and focus on Him even when a million other things are fighting for our attention.

They also talk briefly about Katie’s first book and how she walked through losing a child. The grief has been great, but so has God, and that’s what helps her remember Him and redirect her attention to His goodness.

About Katie

Katie is a follower of Christ, a wife, and a mom growing faithfully alongside her four homeschooled children. She believes boldly in the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ.

Christian Appalachian Project 

The families living in the Appalachia region of the United States face intense and growing poverty. The lack of educational opportunities, diminishing job prospects, and harmful effects of daily hunger prevent hardworking families from prospering. These children, their families, and seniors suffer in unimaginable living conditions.

Thankfully, for 60 years, Christian Appalachia Project has provided neighbors battling poverty in Appalachia much-needed essentials like nourishing food, clothing, home repairs, educational support, and elderly services.
