Katie Westenberg on Moving from Distraction to Attention

Distraction offers us freedom from reality. But this ‘freedom’ is not always what it seems.

Reeling from losing her first daughter during a complicated pregnancy, Katie shares the story in her book, I Choose Brave. Shortly after its release, she was tested in many of the same principles as her father’s heart failed. A brand new author, she had her first marketing call with her publishing team from the waiting room of the hospital’s ICU. She needed to live and re-live the principles she wrote and spoke on.

Today, Katie Westenberg, the author of But Then She Remembered: How to Give God Your Full Attention in a Distracted World, joins MercyCast to talk about how to move from being distracted to being present and focused.

In this episode, we discuss the following:

• Distraction as a symptom
• Borrowing the faith of others
• How to differentiate between interruptions and distraction
