S2 E9 - Don't Take Your Spouse For Granted

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Yesterday was my wife's 27th birthday, and we spent the day celebrating her. But to be honest, we should celebrate her everyday. I cannot beleive how blessed I am to be married to Kylie. She is a godly, serving, faithful, hard working, loving woman. She is the greatest wife, mother, and friend. Well...I am sure that many of you feel the same way about your spouse, and you should! Scripture reminds us never to take our spouse for granted, but to value them and praise them! So many people value all the wrong things in a relationship, but when we value what God values, marriage c

We dig a little deeper into the concept of righteousness and our need for it if we are going to be blessed by God.

Episode 139 - "I Can’t Turn!"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Support, Shepherd, and Send Out Our Kids What does it really mean to "train up" a child, and what does that have to do with Hanukkah, NASA shuttle launches, and kids getting their way? This week we aim to set the trajectory for our kids and give them momentum, as we introduce our first Guided Study. It's a thirteen-session dive into biblical parenting we call "Training Wheels," and we can't wait to get started! As we prepare for session one, we look at two famous parenting passages (Eph. 6:1-4 and Prov. 22:6). Watch for Daily Download videos starting next week, and if you know any parents that

Psalm 38

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This Psalm repeatedly references David's sickness- 38:3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 17. He is suffering intensely. He is suffering because of his sin- 38:3, 4, 5, 18. This is not to say all suffering is directly connected to our personal sin. The book of Job shows that is not true. However, we cannot say that there is no connection between personal sin and suffering either. David experiences it right here. His enemies add to his pain- 38:12, 16, 19, 20 - while his friends stand far off- 38:11. Jesus experienced the suffering the author of Psalm 38 experienced: His friends forsook Him- Matt. 26:55-56, 58;

Jesus the Good Shepherd - John 10

Jeff · Working with the Word

This chapter is filled with rich instruction and illustration. Jesus is the gate. Jesus is the good shepherd. Jesus' enemies are the thieves. Jesus' disciples are the sheep. But what do all these figures mean? What do they communicate about our relationship with God? And how did Jesus' teaching here further divide the crowds?

S2 E8 - Out of the Mouth of Babes

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail This morning was full of some wonderful teaching moments, and all of them came from children. The first was when my daughter brought the Bible to my wife, asking questions about Jesus and wanting her mommy to teach her. She concluded for Jesus to do what he did, he must be her best friend. The second was seeing a video of a friend's 5 year old son opening up the Bible and "preaching" to everyone, it was precious. Well...there is something special about the praise that comes from the mouth of babes. Even in the days of Jesus, those that should have praised him did not, but the

We hear a lot about righteousness in the Bible, but do we always understand it. Join Jonathan Caldwell and myself as we discuss this common but commonly misunderstood word.

BIG: Big faith. "Texas." Gustav Mahler. Ticket to Ride: Europe.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! They say everything is bigger in Texas. The bluster, the egos, the steaks, the belt buckles. You name it, we can supersize it. But bigger comes with its problems — big commitments, big disappointments, big failures and big consequences among them. This week we will discuss big faith and why you should be trying to find it; big dreams that have always characterized the Lone Star State; big work from the greatest composer you’ve never heard of; and the big version of an old favorite. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive ch

S2 E7 - Elder, Shepherd, Overseer, & Steward

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Tonight I have my yearly review with my elders, and I am so excited to sit down with them. Our relationship is not run like an employeer to an employee, because the church is not a business, it's a family. These men care for my soul, as well as those of the rest of the church, and have dedicated themselves to helping us grow as we should. Well...God's desire is for such men to lead in every church. As spiritual fathers, shepherds, overseers, and stewards - these men tirelessly and selflessly tend to every spiritual need of the children of God. As a result, we must learn as the

The Miracle Morning

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Hal Elrod has become an important influence in my life. I came across a presentation he gave several years ago. This led to reading his book, The Miracle Morning, and making important changes in my life by making important changes every morning. It is my pleasure to detail his system, S.A.V.E.R.S. to you today. As I have always said, great men in the world can show us great things, but they get even greater when we add God to the mix. So we will look at how to put God in the center of each and every miracle morning. Which

Making Christianity your own...a conversation with Jake Embry

Kenny Embry · Balancing the Christian Life

Send us Fan Mail Do you remember when you knew you believed in Christianity and didn't simply inherit your parent's religion? My son Jake is going through that process now as he starts college.

S2 E5 - Coffee, Tea, Soup, & Pastries

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Today we received one of the kindest gestures I have ever witnessed from a business. One of our local coffee shops caught wind that we were recovering from Covid, and delivered coffee, tea, soup & pastries to our door. We have become friends with the owners & baristas of The Hub Coffee Shop, and have come to appreciate their hearts and their faith. They serve many. Well...kindness is one of the best ways to put God on display. Kindness is a reflection of God's love as well as God's Spirit. You never know what a small act of kindness can do in showing the heart of God to those

S2 E6 - Recruiting and the Transfer Portal

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail The world of college football has been insane recently, even after the national championship. Given new rules to the transfer portal & NIL (name, image, & likeness) - players are jumping ship right and left from one school to another. That's why I was impressed when our new head coach showed his first priority by going back and getting players that said they were leaving to return again for another season. It's not just about recruiting, but retaining. Well...as the church, we have not just been called to save the lost, but also to go back and get the one's that once were foun

"Confession" - Monopisode

A little different look into confession examines the importance of confessing with our mouths three facts about Jesus, as found in Romans 10.9-13.

Replay — "As Was His Custom"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Programming Note: This week, we're replaying one of our favorite episodes from the past. We'll be back next week with a brand new episode. This week we’re all about habits! How do you get a good habit to stick, why is a sin habit so hard to shake, and what kind of habits did Jesus have? We’ve had habits on the brain lately as we both have been reading James Clear’s new book, so we’re examining our own habits and diving into God’s wisdom on this practical subject. Plus Bryan reacts to Jesus’ words on God filling us up to overflowing from Luke 6:38, and Ryan shares why his son can’t seem to shak

S2 E4 - Hearing Aids

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail After over five long years of waiting, my father in law finally received his hearing aids that he was so desperately needing. He was so happy to get them today, because up to this point being able to hear others as he should was a difficulty. Now everyone around him will be amplified. Well...all of us can use a hearing aid, and it's called humility. When we are proud, we are unwilling to listen to others, rather we demand they listen to us. But when we put on humility, suddenly it will amplify everyone else around us in our lives. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

An Eye Exam - John 9

Jeff · Working with the Word

Jesus' sixth sign, giving sight to the man born blind, is about much more than opening his physical eyes - it's about opening the eyes of his heart to see Jesus. Ironically, this miracle results in the Pharisees' hardheartedness and blindness to the truth. In this chapter, we as the readers, also undergo an eye exam to evaluate how well we "see" Jesus.

"Confession" with Tommy Peeler

Adam Shanks · Preach Impediments

Confession is a fancy word we use only in the context of admitting to some crime or sin. But the Bible says so much more and uses this word in so many other ways. Listen to Tommy Peeler's thoughtful explanation on why confession matters to the daily lives of christians who are professing the name of Jesus.

MURDER: Killer Christians. "Hunting Charles Manson." The Jennings Eight. H.H. Holmes' Murder Castle.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

And the value of human life has not diminished since then. Unfortunately our valuation of it has in many cases. This week we will discuss whether Christians actually murder other Christians, and if so, how; the secrets to staying out of a sex-drug-murder cult; another reason not to stop for gas in Louisiana; and the only board game we own based on the work of a serial killer.

S2 E3 - You Are Not Defined By One Game

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Last night's National Championship game between Georgia & Alabama was great. What caught my attention was something that happened after the game though. Nic Saban, Alabama's head coach, did his best to encourage his star players when he spoke up for them and reminded the press saying, "These guys are not defined by one game." Well...we are not defined by one mistake. The good we have done and will do by God's grace is not negated because we make mistakes. We all are going to fall, what matters is that we get back up again. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast
