| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome back to the morning mindset of live-build change. |
| 0:08.8 | This is my attempt as your brother in Christ to encourage you to start your day with your mind in the right place, |
| 0:16.3 | with your mind aligned to the truth of God's word. |
| 0:20.3 | I'm looking at the book of proverbs lately just to draw out some principles of wisdom that are beneficial for us to have in our minds as we go throughout the day. |
