📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
JAMES 2:20-24 - Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Are you awake yet? It's Carrie Green with the Morning Mindset |
| 0:06.6 | edition of the Liberal Change Podcast. I hope you are doing well this morning and |
| 0:11.8 | let me just say something to you if I might |
| 0:13.9 | you are doing well if the spirit of God lives in you that is just the reality of what |
| 0:20.4 | it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Now that doesn't mean we live a |
| 0:24.1 | Pollyanna kind of a life where we just deny difficulties in our in our lives. |
| 0:28.9 | No, it just means that we know the difficulties are not the final word. |

| 0:48.6 | He is doing good in our lives. |
| 0:51.6 | He really is. I know it's hard to see when you're under the cloud of a |
| 0:54.6 | circumstance that's really hard to bear. Maybe it's a sickness, maybe it's a difficult thing |
| 1:01.8 | going on at your employment. Maybe it's a family crisis or a |
| 1:06.3 | conflict. In those moments it is very difficult to believe that God is doing good in your life but he is doing good. |
| 1:16.0 | The scripture says all his ways are loving and faithful and you see that's the |
| 1:21.5 | mindset shift we've got to make every morning to get our heads in the right place |
| 1:26.1 | Because if we for a second begin to believe our God is not good that he is not working for our good even in those difficult circumstances, then our faith begins to slide. Our faith begins to wane, |
| 1:41.5 | and we don't live according to the faith that we say we have in Christ. |
| 1:47.0 | And that brings us to our chapter 2 of the book of James where we've been studying. |
| 1:52.0 | And James says in verse 20 do you want to be |
