Grant Partrick shares a convicting talk about distraction and its role in the theft of the devotion God deserves. He challenges listeners through the story of Martha’s busyness to bring awareness to the pressing and increasing need for attentiveness. Grant highlights three major truths to lead us to ask the question, “Are there any things you need to stop doing, start doing, or do differently?”
