Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.

Where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

I'm Tanya Wilmoth. Have you tried to completely overhaul your diet or

your exercise for a few days or weeks and then gotten back to your same old habits? I once

made it through two days of a whole 30 before submitting to a package of

sour punts straws at a baseball game followed by popcorn and then a Reese's cup.

Now those who can relate to my experience might find a softer spot to land in the kind of newish 1% better trend.

So in this trend, instead of completely overhauling your diet, you eat 1% better than you did yesterday.

And instead of a 70 day fitness challenge where you throw tires and take cold showers while eating tree bark,

while you raise your intensity level by 1% each day.

Tired of a bad attitude by 1% each day.

Tired of a bad attitude, be 1% more grateful today

than you were yesterday.

There's pretty good wisdom here.

When we take these kinds of approaches,

we're more on a growth mindset instead of a change crash burn mindset.

But what about our faith? The one thing about us that affects everything else.

Is it biblical to add a line item to your planner called grow my faith 1% each day?

What would Jesus have to say about the mindset we have toward our faith?

In Matthew 17 we get to hear what it was like to be with Jesus from the disciples point of view.

And it's pretty incredible how honest they are about themselves.

It would be really cool if we have the same kind of experience as we go through our life with Jesus.
