219. The Cost of a Scattered Life

by Julie Lefebure | Oct 7, 2025 | Podcast

Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and suddenly realized you didn’t hear a word that was said? Or rushed through a day so distracted that you can’t even recall what happened? You’re not alone. In this episode, we kick off a brand-new series titled, Undistracted October: Make Room for What Matters. Today we uncover the real cost of a scattered life.

Undistracted October: 219. The Cost of a Scattered Life

Distraction isn’t just a daily annoyance. It’s a subtle thief that robs us of the abundant life Jesus came to give. I share from personal experience how distraction once kept me from fully living and how God used a wake-up moment to change my life. We also celebrate the two-year anniversary of my book, Right Now Matters, and why this month is the perfect time to reset our focus before the holiday season.

Do you live a scattered life?

Together, we unpack three major costs of distraction:

Peace – Our souls feel restless and noisy when distracted.
Presence – We miss what (and who) is right in front of us.
Purpose – We lose clarity and drift from God’s calling.

We look at biblical encouragement from 1 Corinthians 7:35. Plus a simple first step you can take this week to live with greater focus. No matter your biggest distraction—your phone, your thoughts, the past, or something else—this episode will equip and encourage you to take it back.
