Has your wife ever asked you to put down your phone while you’re talking to her? Do you wonder what’s happening inside your brain while you’re “multi-tasking”?
This week’s episode features Leslie Samuel, from BecomeaBlogger.com, as we discuss neuroscience and ways we can be more focused in our relationships with God and our family, as well as hacks for being more productive in our work.
ABOUT THE SHOW:

Leslie’s life verse:
Romans 8:28 – And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
