We've all been there. Inevitably, bad things happen sometimes, things within or outside of our control unfold right before us. Sometimes it can be one situation that happens that can cause lingering feelings to keep you from truly enjoying the rest of the day, while other times it can be a series of events that stack one on top of another, weighing you down and leaving you with this feeling of overwhelm and frustration.
You might even start counting down the hours until the day ends and you can welcome a new, better one ahead. Or maybe what I'm describing is more than just one singular day but it is the soundtrack of your life lately in this season. And you sometimes catch yourself wishing parts of it away.
Times like this show us that when we fix our thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable like it says in Philippians 4:8, we can truly turn our day around. God helps us in the midst of our trials and tells us to think differently. While this may not necessarily always change our situation and the parts of it that are outside of our control, it can surely change our perspective and give us strength to power through anything.
We can combat lies from the enemy by fixing our thoughts on what is true. We can banish our anxiety by fixing our thoughts on what is lovely and admirable. We shared in this episode how to do this in a practical way and shared some personal stories where we have experienced this first hand in our lives. We hope this blesses you greatly!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
