"Focus" is what CS Lewis calls a "halo word". Everybody wants focus, but no one really knows what the word is referring to. We think that focus will come naturally if we eliminate distraction. That's a joke. Cutting out distraction will no more produce focus than cutting out dessert will produce muscle. Focus is something that must be cultivated. But what do we need to be doing to strengthen focus? That's the subject matter of this podcast season. We're going to look at the disciplines of a focused mind.
Discipline One: Memorization
This is the discipline everyone wants to skip - a lot of guys want to reduce the high bar of memorization to the low bar of reflection. In this episode we give you six reasons memorization is a vital discipline for Christian men who want to be focused on Christ.
