1.2 Tea with Undistracted by Bob Goff

Welcome to Tea with Tasoni, a book club for Orthodox Christians. My name is Laura, and this week we’re continuing our reading of Bob Goff’s book Undistracted.

If you want to grab your own copy and read along, head to teawithtasoni.com for all the details and a link to get your own copy. The latest book is always at the top of the page, and you’ll find an archive to the past books as well.

Stories

Ch. 6 (p. 60 in the hardcover) - The Story of Vesta Stoudt

Ch. 9 (p. 95 in the hardcover) - The Story of the Oil

Takeaways:

• God is waiting outside your comfort zone, He has already given you permission to live fully in the purpose He has set for you. He’s inviting you into an adventure while you’re satisfied sitting in the library.

• Get clear about your destination. Then break up your journey into smaller waypoints and good daily habits. (If you don’t, you’ll end up way off course).

• How many days remain for you? Do the math. (For example, how many Holy Weeks do you have left?)

• We need to decide what our faith is actually about. Then God wants us to do something about our beliefs and engage the world.
