We also live in the most distracted age ever. Now more than ever, it is harder to slow down, focus on deep work, and especially hear from God. If we don’t figure out how to connect with God, and in particular slow down to seek and listen to the leading from the Holy Spirit, we run a huge risk. This pace can result in the stunting of our spiritual growth, leading to wandering from intimacy with God and, in turn, relying too much on ourselves.

One of the most annoying things about college is the constantly changing nature of it. With each semester comes new classes, a new schedule, possibly new roommates, and for sure a new routine. Often we assume it’s easier to just deal with the changing stressors by checking our Instagram feed, clicking on Netflix, playing call of duty, or going out with friends.
