When was the last time something truly left you speechless?

We carry supercomputers in our pockets, watch rockets land themselves, and can speak with someone on the other side of the world in an instant. Yet somehow, we've become harder to amaze than ever before.

Maybe the world hasn't become less extraordinary.

Maybe we've simply stopped paying attention.

In this episode of Crusade With Me!, Dave explores why wonder quietly disappears—not all at once, but beneath layers of busyness, distraction, certainty, and constant noise. Together we'll ask whether our loss of wonder has also become a loss of wisdom, gratitude, and our ability to recognize truth when it's standing right in front of us.

This isn't about becoming childish.

It's about recovering the childlike curiosity that once made every sunrise, every conversation, and every ordinary moment feel full of possibility.

What if the greatest discoveries of your life aren't waiting somewhere else...

What if they're waiting for you to slow down long enough to notice?

If you've felt distracted, restless, or like life has become something to manage instead of something to marvel at, this conversation is for you.

Because perhaps the most important question isn't what you've accomplished this week...

It's this:

What truly filled you with wonder?

Why is silence so uncomfortable?

Why do we instinctively reach for our phones, turn on the television, scroll social media, or fill every empty moment with noise?

Maybe the problem isn't that we've forgotten how to rest.

Maybe we're afraid of what we'll discover when everything finally becomes quiet.

In Part Two of the Attention series, we explore one of the defining struggles of modern life: our inability to simply be still. From endless distractions to relentless busyness, we've become experts at avoiding silence—even though silence has always been the place where wisdom, healing, and the voice of God are most often found.

Together we'll examine why our culture keeps us constantly occupied, what ancient Christian and timeless wisdom traditions have to teach us about stillness, and why recovering our attention may be the first step toward recovering our souls.

If you've ever felt exhausted despite never slowing down, restless even when life is going well, or strangely uncomfortable whenever everything finally becomes quiet... this episode is for you.

The greatest battle for your life may not be over your time.

It may be over your attention.

Have you ever looked around at your life—even a good life—and quietly thought, there has to be more than this.

You're not alone.

In Part 1 of our new seven-part series, Attention, we begin exploring one of the most important questions of our time: What is capturing our attention, and where is it leading us?

We chase success, entertainment, possessions, relationships, accomplishments, and endless distractions, hoping they'll satisfy the restless longing inside us. Yet no matter how much we consume, the feeling remains: there has to be more.

What if that longing isn't a flaw to overcome, but a compass pointing us toward something greater?

Drawing from Scripture, timeless wisdom, and honest life experience, we'll examine why the human heart is never fully satisfied by the temporary and how our attention shapes the people we become. Before we can discover what deserves our attention, we first have to recognize why we're so easily distracted.

This episode lays the foundation for the entire series and invites you to slow down, ask the deeper questions, and begin turning your attention toward what truly lasts.

Join Dave and Kat as we begin the journey.
