142 | Training Your Focus: Aligning with God's Higher Ways | Dr. Ioana Popa

Are you familiar with this verse (this is one of my favorites!): "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."" — Isaiah 55:8-9 And (re)reading this verse you might wonder: how do we actually access more of God's thoughts? How do we shift our attention from being hijacked by all the things happening around and/or inside of us, in order to allow more space for God's thoughts to permeate our consciousness and more impact to our choices and actions? It is all about training our Focus, our local awareness, what my tradition of the ancient Christianity is calling Watchfulness, in order to not be constantly pulled away from God. In this resource inside of the Thriving In Christ show, I unpack this by bridging the lenses of science, psychology, and our Christian faith so you have more clarity today!
