Hey, Friends! It is officially summer vacation for our kids but we are still getting together and recording episodes about all kinds of things to lighten your day!

Today we are going to talk a lot about mindset and what it looks like to live and serve from a place of love instead of insecurity. We are also going to talk about some pop cultural advice and hold it up against scripture and see where things align or deviate. So if you have your Bible on you, we will be referring primarily to Isaiah 46, Philippians 4, and 2nd Timothy 2. But, as usual, we gotta start just a few steps into the weeds.

Enjoy the next hour and give yourself a high five—you are God’s child and you are already loved. Nothing you do will make Him love you any more or any less than He already does. Let that truth seep deep into your bones, heart, and mind as you live and serve today!
