In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey encourages us to examine the “noise” in our lives and the heavy cost it brings in the modern “attention economy.”

Pastor Clark draws on insights from Blaise Pascal, personal anecdotes, and the example of Jesus pausing for solitude, to shine a light on our struggle to sit quietly in a room alone—a challenge made even harder by constant digital distractions.
