Are we present or distracted when living out the in-between moments? Are we known as encouraging and empowering people by those that encounter us throughout the day-to-day? These may not be questions we think about often, if ever, but they are important questions to reflect on none-the-less if we desire to live lives of intentionality and self-awareness. Today\u2019s episode is a varied conversation focusing on some key topics lacking in our culture today: the missing beauty and importance of inter-generational mentoring \u2026 the limited diversification of our relationships \u2026 and the reduction of ordinary moments while in pursuit of the extraordinary ones. Today\u2019s conversation explores what it means to stop, assess, reflect, and pay attention to what is going on around you and what God might be nudging you to learn and understand. Because being a person of joy, a person of encouragement and a person who is genuinely interested in other people has to be cultivated in community and interaction, but can only be done if we are self-aware enough to be asking questions and paying attention.
