Focus & Distraction Feat. Garret Barbush| EP. 97

“The enemy is good at disguising distractions.” // Garret Barbush

On EP. 97 of the Men of Iron Podcast Garret joins the podcast to talk to us about focus and distraction. What is the biggest issue that men are facing today? Is it pornography, work, marriage issues, fitness? At Men of Iron we believe the number one issue men are facing today is FOCUS, or a lack thereof. Distractions and lack of focus often leads to an ineffective, an unhealthy life. Listen as Garret provides practical tips to help you find accountability, put guardrails in place to limit distractions, and rediscover your focus.

 “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” Ephesians 5:15-17
