S6 E2 - In The Word

Send us a textWe started a challenge of writing out all of the New Testmanet + Psalms & Proverbs over this year with many of us here in Danville. It has proved to be so beneficial for my own growth as I slowly think about each word of Scripture. It's also led me to longer term goals to committ the Word to my memory. We are to let the Word dwell richly in us. But that does not just have to happen through reading. We can listen to it. Write it. Speak it. Sing it. No matter how you do it, don't negelect getting into the Word this year! #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S6 E1 - A Deformed Doll

Send us a textWelcome back to a brand new season of the Set Your Mind Above Podcast!We got Ava a realistic baby doll for Christmas, the problem was it was damaged in shipping. We let her open it, but promised we could get her another one. She responded that she loved the doll just the way it was, because that's how God loves us - it doesnt matter how we look, all of us are special. Today I have a dear friend Will Gathro help me write some important lessons from thsi story, and he is uniquely qualified to dicuss this topic. I hope you find some encouragement from the Scriptures and from Will's example of faith despite his own personal challenges. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S5 E39 - How To Reach Our Goals For 2026

Send us a textI failed to reach many of my goals over this past year physically - and that was due to three reasons: setbacks, busyness, and lack of consistency. Oftentimes these same three reasons keep us from attaining our spiritual goals. We must not give up despite setbacks. We must never be too busy for God's work. And we must strive to be diligent to stay consistent in our efforts to grow. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S5 E38- Chopped!

Send us a textOne of my runs in a fantasy football league finally came to an end after 14 weeks. This is a "Chopped!" league - which means you win or you go home. If you lose even once by having the lowest score in the league, you're done for the season. No second chances. No next week. No chance for redemption. How blessed are we that we do not serve a "one and done" kind of a God? If we were "chopped" never to be given another chance at redemption when we failed, how far would have of us ever made it in this life? As it stands, so long as we turn back to God, he's always willing to give us grace and give us another chance. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S5 E37 - Elf on the Shelf

Send us a textOur kids recently started doing the Elf on the Shelf tradition with me, and it has completely changed their mornings. They don't think about anything else first except for that little mischevious elf. They can't wait to wake up and see what new thing he has gotten into. Their joy and excitement convicts me. What is my routine when I first wake up? Do I grab my phone? My coffee? Go back to sleep? Or are my first thoughts about God? Thanking him for this new day and asking him to direct me? Do I wake up joyful, reading to wake the dawn with praises? #SetYourMindAbovePodcast
