Quantum Mind Change (Mind Change Monday) Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

It's Mind Change Monday!

We're continuing to learn a new way to pray and learn to use our minds to change our brains, and help us seek the abundance and peace Jesus promised us in John 10:10!

Quantum physics gives us two principles of how constantly looking at a situation can keep it stuck in that state, and the same is true in our lives. Learning to shift our viewpoint, relax, and trust God's promises can help us change our minds and begin to move forward.

Today, we take another look the ABIDE practice, take it one level deeper, and learn a self-brain surgery operation that will help us become healthier, feel better, and be happier in any area of our lives. Neuroscience and faith smash together hard in this one!

Remember the ABIDE prayer/meditation practice:
Level I (Hearing):
Approach
Breathe
Invite
Depend
Experience

Level II (Self-Brain Surgery Practice):
Assess
Believe
Incision
Deepen
Expect

When to Build the Boat (Wildcard Wednesday) Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

When did Noah build the arc?

Before it started raining.

Look, storms happen in life. Hard times come, but when things get hard, strong people get busy. And when great opportunities come, we need to be ready.

Let’s pick up the hammer and start building that ark. Because the rain is coming. Because something great is coming, and we need to be ready. Something hard is coming, and we need to get our feet on more solid ground, even if we have to build a boat to get there.
