To focus is human. We were created with a limited ability to pay attention. But many of us spend so much time in a non-focused state - bouncing back and forth between a myriad of things. How do we free up our time to focus on one thing at a time? Hint: it’s saying “no” so we can say yes to the most important things. This allows us to focus on purpose and the things that really matter. In this episode, Mark and Chris discuss the book and concept of “Essentialism” and how that compares to simply “movement.” 

Here’s a link to the book “Essentialism”.

To be humble is human. God created us for intimacy and dependence on Him. But many of us have two ends of the extreme: 1) thinking we are worthless or 2) thinking we are complete and don’t need God any more.
