Episode 153 - "We’re Back!"

Dwell on God's Praiseworthy Gifts and VirtuesIt’s been awhile, but we’re excited to be back to our normal recording schedule, starting this week. And we’re introducing our next big, thirteen-session Guided Study, called “What’s Good.” Our goal with the series is to direct our attention to some of the “pure ... lovely ... commendable” things we should “think on” (Phil. 4:8). Because in the midst of “this present darkness” (Eph. 6:12), can’t we all use some help focusing on the light? So on Monday, we’ll start three weeks of Daily Download videos — fifteen short videos on good things worth dwelling on. Then we hope you’ll join us for our regular, weekly episodes each Thursday over the next quarter, as we talk about God’s good gifts and some virtues worthy of reflection. In this episode, we kick the series off with what Jesus said about healthy eyes and then a dive into Philippians 4:8, our Scripture du Jour. Thanks everyone for your patience and for coming back as we start up this encouraging, new series!The Big Idea: The Lord doesn't just want us to do good things, he also wants us to think about good things.This Week's Challenge: Change your environment to support praiseworthy thinking.Show NotesGamechanger: Dwell on the Good (SERMON)Training Wheels Guided Study (PDF)What’s Good Guided Study (WEBSITE)Steve Jobs’ iPhone Keynote (VIDEO)Support the Show
