June 1 – A New Way of Seeing

You can't think your way into a new way of acting. You have to act your way into a new way of thinking. Today Pastor Mike welcomes back his pastor friend Larry for a conversation about what it actually means to have your mind renewed — and it turns out it's less about changing what's in your head and more about what's in your heart. Larry lands on a line worth sitting with: prayer is surrender, and it's not much of a conversation if only one of us is talking. Mike gets honest about his own biggest perspective shift — when something about another person annoys him, it's usually a character defect of his own amplified back at him like a mirror. Two pastors in recovery, seeing things differently than they used to. That's the ripple. The stone for today: Change begins within. When my outlook shifts, everything else starts to follow. A renewed perspective leads to a renewed life. Read today's full Daily Ripple at www.dailyripples.com — and we'd love to hear from you. Reach out any time at [email protected].
