What has your attention?

We live in a world where countless platforms, companies, advertisements, and algorithms are competing for our focus. And increasingly, we're realizing that these things don't simply occupy our time. They can shape what we want.

And what we want shapes how we live.

In Part 1 of Look T(Here), Corey explores the modern attention economy alongside an ancient biblical understanding of human formation. From Genesis to Jesus and the early church, Scripture continually returns to the importance of what we look toward, think about, seek, and desire.

This isn't ultimately a message about getting rid of your phone.

It's an invitation to reclaim the agency God has given you over your attention—and reconsider what worship might actually mean.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Attention shapes desire, and desire shapes our lives.

• Modern technology didn't invent this relationship; it learned how to capitalize on something deeply human.

• Scripture repeatedly invites us to become intentional about where we place our minds and attention.

• Jesus warns about becoming worried and distracted by many things while missing what's directly in front of us.

• Worship can be understood as choosing to give our attention to God.

• Spiritual formation isn't simply about believing the right things. It's also about becoming intentional about what is forming our desires.
