Description

The Cost of Indifference Series: Episode 1

Have we allowed busyness to overshadow what truly matters in our lives?

Journey With Care explores this pressing question with guest Zach Manntai, who delves into the addictive nature of modern busyness fueled by constant technological distractions.

Hosts Wendi Park and Johan Heinrichs engage with Zach in a conversation about decision paralysis, the undervalued principle of saying 'no,' and the profound impact of purposeful, intentional relationships.

Amid discussions of mental burnout, capacity, and the critical importance of Sabbath and reflection, they provide a roadmap for reclaiming focus and compassion in everyday life.

This is a challenge slow down and intentionally invest time in our immediate surroundings, encouraging moments of pause and genuine connection.
