Is "Attention Is All He Needs" the Future of Faith?
1. Attention Is All HE Needs (Christ as Transformer Architecture)
2. The Epistle of San Francisco (On Burnout)
Are you feeling the burnout of Christian "hustle"? Tired of trying to measure up with spiritual KPIs and performance metrics? What if the spiritual life wasn't about complexity and heroic effort, but something radically simpler?
In this episode, we explore a profound truth being rediscovered: that the optimal strategy for divine integration isn't performance or production, but **presence** -- centered around sustained attention and continual abiding in Christ. Drawing inspiration from breakthrough AI models, the sources propose that **abiding is the core protocol of the Kingdom**, defined as **continuous spiritual self-attention to the indwelling Christ**, maintaining **relational proximity**.
This isn't about transactional prayer or rule-based systems. It's about the simple, ongoing recursive application of attention that radically decentralizes effort and re-centralizes relationship. The spiritual life becomes emergent, not engineered.
We'll challenge the "Great Temptation" of effectiveness without intimacy, results without relationship, and remember that the Word became flesh, not code or scale. Just as Transformers outperform by attending to what matters, disciples become effective by abiding in Who matters. The greatest act of faith is not effort, but remaining.
Tune in as we unpack how **"Attention Is All He Needs"** might just be the key to unlocking a simpler, more fruitful, and radically different way of being Christian. Discover why abiding is hypothesized to be the optimal strategy for everything you need and want from God.
