213 - Alan Briggs ”What to ask when in creation”
Technology is great...until it isn't. We live in an age where everything is seemingly right at our fingertips...well almost.
On today's episode, Alan gives a few simple questions to ask when you're out in creation. Podcasts, audiobooks and music are all great but sometimes it's nice to disconnect from them and just take it all in.
Take these questions to heart and then apply them the next time you venture out into creation for that walk you've been thinking about.
