When the Mind Wanders

January 7, 2026January 5, 2026 ~ James ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about presence—what it really means to be present, and what it might mean when we find that we’re not. Over the past several weeks, life has been full.

When the Mind Wanders - Infinitely Precious

In this episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, James reflects on presence, fatigue, and the wisdom hidden in a wandering mind. Drawing from his own experience of a demanding season of ministry and a long-standing meditation practice, he explores how mind-wandering can mean two very different things: sometimes it’s simply distraction that invites us to gently return to the moment, and other times it’s a compassionate signal that we’ve reached our human limits and need rest, self-care, or a sacred step back. With honesty about finitude—especially for those in helping professions—James invites listeners to practice discernment rather than judgment, learning when to let thoughts pass and when to honor the body, heart, and soul’s need for healing space. Throughout, he encourages gentleness with oneself, resisting cultural pressures toward constant productivity and presence, and remembering that learning to be present is itself a practice—one that includes caring for ourselves as the infinitely precious gifts we already are.
