More about Set Your Eyes Higher:

Americans spend an average of seven hours and three minutes online every day, according to DataReportal. Social media algorithms are designed to keep users
returning to their phones for a seemingly endless cycle of information, and the increasing dependence on phones and devices is working – Americans spend an average of four hours and twenty-five minutes a day on a smartphone, according to Reviews.org. Yet despite living in the information age, many people increasingly report that life feels like it makes less sense, and research has found that that excessive screen time can have a substantial negative impact on both physical and mental well-being. Whitney Lowe witnessed this negative impact firsthand: not only did she suffer physical pain from straining her neck to constantly look down at a device, social media also compounded her insecurity and
anxiousness. Whitney knew she needed to set her gaze somewhere else— somewhere up and out.

Set Your Eyes Higher: A 40-Day Reset to Slow Your Anxiety and Fix Your Focus on God (Zondervan Gift, September 24, 2024) by Whitney Lowe is a 40-day reset that will help you let go of what's not serving you, honor your limitations, and turn your gaze toward a God who loves who you are and who you're becoming in Him.

Do you struggle with excess distraction and overstimulation? Do you feel like your faith has grown shallow? We live in a culture of ever-increasing distraction, and the deeper our distraction, the more shallow our faith will become. So what can we do about it?

In today’s episode, Justine discusses this distraction issue in our culture (because it’s worse than we think) and how it’s one of the greatest threats to us having a deep life of faith. She also provides some guidance on how to overcome the noise and overstimulation to invite space and margin in your day-to-day life to experience more of God.
