About this episode

This episode explores how to align our thoughts with God's wisdom and live in the rhythm of grace.

Your life moves in the direction of your strongest thoughts. In Week 2 of our "Life on Purpose" series, we dive into Colossians to explore how to "set our minds on things above." We often try to fix our actions without addressing our thinking, but scripture tells us that as a person thinks in their heart, so they are. In this episode, we break down three practical ways to realign your mindset: God Above Me: Choosing God's wisdom over human philosophy and tradition. Rest Above Breaks: Understanding the difference between escaping work and operating in Christ's power through true Sabbath. Rhythm Above Balance: Debunking the "balance lie" and learning to cooperate with the natural seasons of life dictated by God. Stop trying to balance a heavy plate and start living in the rhythm of grace.
