Hey everybody, this is Ruth.

And this is Troy.

Welcome back to the Foundations podcast.

We are on Foundation 4 this week, which says, set your mind where Christ is and on all

that is good and true.

This is going to be a good week, you guys.

We are going to talk about the war on our minds

and how we can direct our thoughts to what is true

and good and worthy of thinking about

and following with our minds.

So will you join us?

Let's get started.

So friends, we're glad to have you back with us.

We're talking today about foundation number four.

And this is built around Colossians chapter 3 versus 1 and 2.

It says, if then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right

hand of God, set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Ooh, that's a tough

one, isn't it? Every time I read that, I think to myself, where is my mind right now? And it's so often on

things of earth. The things that are on my mind are always, I got to finish that project, I got to take care of this. It's up to me to make sure these things don't fall apart. What's for dinner? I mean, it's kind of practical to think on things of earth. So what is Paul talking about here? Yeah, that's a great question. And I think at face value, this could be really confusing. It's like, well, wait a minute, I'm on earth. Should I go dance through the field of flowers, thinking about Jesus all day and not do laundry? Should I? Yeah. And that practical question of like, well, how is it that I get all my earthly things done and still have, you know, my mindset in this other area area. So this is something to kind of flesh out. And it's super important. I mean, maybe it's a little cheesy and trite and overdone, but you are what you think. I think there's a lot of truth to that statement. Oh, wait, hold on. Or we become what we behold. I had to think that.

I said that.

That was that one book that came out recently.

Yeah.
