Hey friends, Carrie here. Welcome back to a bonus episode of The Morning Mindset. I normally

would include these kinds of episodes only in the Partners Only membership podcast called

Digging Deeper. But this topic is so important. Just as a fundamental issue in the Christian

life that I thought I wanted to bring this bonus episode series to you, just here in the

Normal Morning Mindset feed, you'll be seeing a bonus episode show up every Wednesday for

the next seven weeks all about this topic of world view. Now to start off, let me just describe

to you a scenario that happened around my house where I was a kid. I was known in my family

for having particularly good vision. And I remember as a kid taking pride in it, because for

example, if my mom dropped one of her sewing needles on the living room carpet, she would

always call me to find it. And I would find it. It seemed like there was just this uncanny

ability for me to spot things and to pick them up, find them, restore them to their rightful

place, that sort of thing. I remember all the time my siblings dropping things, looking

for things, et cetera. They would call me in to help. And I would, it seems like inevitably

find it. My dad, who did not have the best ice height, was always asking me to read

signs for him when we were driving in the car so that he'd have enough time to change

lanes or prepare for a turn if needed. My great eyesight that I experienced as a child

continued into my adult years. And I remember the first time that my wife told me that without

her prescription glasses or contacts which she had worn for years, my face was just a blur

to her. It was shocking to me. I just simply couldn't imagine what life like that would

be like. And then I hit 40 years old. And overnight, my always perfect ice height was not

so perfect. On the first time I remember noticing it was when I was setting up for a worship

rehearsal at our church and I needed to plug in a cable to the back of the soundboard.
