Have you ever convinced yourself you were being productive… while still glued to your screen for hours?

You're reading articles, watching tutorials, downloading podcasts and telling yourself this is different, because it's “educational.” But deep down… you’re avoiding the very thing you know God’s calling you to do.

Yeah. Been there. Still there some days.

It’s called procrasti-learning, and when I first heard that word, it was like someone peeked into my life and labeled this very sneaky, very justifiable form of digital distraction. It looks noble, feels responsible, but it’s quietly stealing our time, focus, and spiritual impact.

In this episode, we're talking about:

  • What procrasti-learning is and how it disguises itself as growth
  • Why your love of learning could be keeping you stuck
  • How screens make procrasti-learning feel productive (and why that’s dangerous)
  • What the Bible says about moving from knowledge to action
  • The surprising spiritual cost of staying in "preparation mode"
  • 4 practical steps to help you stop consuming and start doing

We don’t need more information – we need transformation. And sometimes, the most spiritually mature thing we can do… is just start.

So if you’ve been stuck in a learning loop, bingeing podcasts, books, and free webinars instead of taking action, this one’s for you. It's time to break free from the distraction that doesn't look like distraction.
