S6 E8 - 2000 Year Old Trees

Send a textWe are planning a trip out west next month, and the highlight will be two very special national parks with 2000 year old trees we are showing the kids. How have they survived this long? Because of how their roots grow and interlock with one another, they never stand alone but stand strong together. How are we to survive life's storms and the challenges to our faith? Not only must we be rooted in our faith in Christ, but we must remember that we don't stand alone. We stand stronger together, interwoven through love and faith in Jesus. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S6 E7 - The Many Adventures of the Lost Elmo

Send a textWe have a new local celebrity here in Danville: a stuffed Elmo. He had been abandoned in a parking lot by accident, but some local resident has picked him up, cleaned him up, and started posting his great many new adventures. It's so wholesome and so fun. Elmo's story is a lot like Israel's story and our story: abandoned, broken, forgotten, and lost. That is until God stepped in and did something. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S6 E6 - Prayer Surge: Flooding Heaven

Send a textWhen we have an emergency, we call 911 here in America. Sometimes so many people can call that the dispatch centers can get overwhelmed in something called a call surge. That's when everyone is calling about the same event all at once. We are called to flood heaven with a prayer surge. But the thing is God is never overwhelmed, he listens and acts, and the prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in it's effect! Calling on the Lord is the most important call we can make. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S6 E5 - Fail! Point and Laugh!

Send a textWe all love a good fail video - it's innocent fun and when no one gets hurt, it can be quite comedic. We even laugh at our own expense, like I did when my neighbor caught me in 4k falling on my tush on the ice this past week. However, while that's innocent, in this world sometimes people can take pleasure in the actual failure and fall of others. This is not a quality of God's people. We are to weep with those who weep, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who persecute you. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S6 E4 - Breaking Through the Ice

Send a textWe didn't get the snow we had hoped for, not as much at least. Instead, we got a lot of ice. Ice is so hard to treat, and unless you have some salt to soften it up, you're going to be hard on luck to break it apart and clear a pathway. We need to ensure two things for ourselves. First, we need to ensure that in humility we can soften our hearts so as to receive the truth. Second, we must ensure to we season our words with salt, so as to best communicate the truth to hard hearts in a way that they might be softened. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast
