Psalm 46 reminds us to “be still and know God,” a concept easily lost in the constant busyness of our culture. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his conversation with John Eldredge about his book, Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad. John explains the dangers of a distracted, technology-addicted lifestyle, and suggests that we practice the "One Minute Pause,” along with soaking up God’s creation and turning off our phones.
