Summary

What if every difficult situation carries a Kingdom possibility—something God wants to give you rather than take from you? Graham explores how learning to think with the mind of Christ transforms our perspective toward challenges, revealing that our starting place with God determines our outcome. Discover why your thoughts either advance you or hold you back, and how finding that Kingdom connection point changes everything.

Key Scriptures:

+ James 1:2-8. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance...

+ 2 Corinthians 10:5. Taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ...

+ 2 Corinthians 5:17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new...
