Set Your Mind Above

What if I told you that God could be seen in the most ordinary things everyday? Take a break from the busyness of your lives to just stop & look around. Consider the things that we encounter all the time and overlook. Just think of all the lessons that we could learn from our children, in our homes, or our families. What if I told you that everyday, ordinary events could teach us extraordinary eternal truths...would you believe me? I'm BJ Sipe, and welcome to the Set Your Mind Above podcast.

    S4 E26 - Aspire To Be Humble

    Send us a textI was at Starbucks the other day when this lady came in wearing a shirt that made me do a double take. It said, "Not aspiring to be humble." Wow...it's one thing to be proud out of ignorance. It's another to be proud by choice. Without humility, we cannot love. Without humility, we cannot be transformed. Without humility, we are enemies with God and without grace. Aspire to be humble. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

    S4 E25 - What Lies Beneath the Couch

    Send us a textHave you ever cleaned underneath your couch? You never know what you might find under there. On the surface your sofa looks clean, but when you dig a little deeper and pull it back - there are all kinds of things hiding beneath the surface. If we are not careful, this is the way that we can be spiritually in our lives. On the surface we have the appearance of righteousness and godliness, but deep within, unseen, we are anything but that. It's time that we pulled back the cu...

    S4 E24 - The Church Needs Reading Buddies

    Send us a textI started a program called "Reading Buddy" with a local elementary student. It turns out, he is a wonderful reader that just lacks confidence. With some encouragement, he has already grown tremendously, but more than that, we have grown close to each other. This is exactly the kind of relationship Paul & Timothy would have, and the kind of relationship Paul expects the older & younger generation to foster together in the church. Sometimes, younger disciples just nee...

    S4 E23 - Sometimes the Worst Brings Out the Best

    Send us a textHurricanes have devastated Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. You absolutely hate to see the destruction and hardship caused to others by these storms. Our prayers go out to all those suffering. But even in the midst of so much loss, there has been so much good in response. Christians have banded together to serve others and help those in need. Unity in service have been demonstrated accross the board as together God's people from all over serve those impacted. Sometim...

    S4 E22 - We Need Some Perspective

    Send us a textHurricane Helene came through and did some damage to our area, but absolutely nothing compared to other areas of the country. At first, our kids were pretty upset about no power and no tv/internet. But once they learned that that other people were losing their entire homes and communites, that was no longer important. They needed some perspective. I think we all do. We can be so entitled, ungrateful, and complain about everything. But if we just gained some perspective, we ...

    S4 E21 - God Doesn't Get Overstimulated

    Send us a textWhen you become a parent, it's easy to get overstimulated by the end of the day. Constantly being asked questions, touched, etc. Same goes for teachers, btw. I saw a video where a kindergarten teacher was asked a question or had her name said by students to get her attention 627 times! What keeps them from burnout? Why do they do it? Because they love their kids, and love their students. It makes you wonder...does God get overstimulated? The short answer is no. Even though ...

    S4 E20 - Pride, Sickness & Sin

    Send us a textThis past week, everyone in my family came down with Covid one by one. Everyone, that is, except me. We seemed to be on the upswing, and I prided myself in thinking I had some kind of super immune system to not get sick. I spoke a little too soon, because by the time everyone else had recovered, I was sick. Pride comes before a fall. Often we can pride ourselves in thinking we are above some kind of temptation or sin, but that is when we will fall prey to the very things we...

    S4 E19 - Birds, Unity, & the Body of Christ

    Send us a textMumuration is an amazing spectacle where birds move in what to the naked eye looks like complete unity. They are capable of doing this because of keen senses that allow them to anticipate the movements of the rest of the flock, and they do not merely look to the bird next to them for cues - but they are in tune with a great number of others all at the same time. The body of Christ, if it is to have unity, must work in the same way. We must be in tune with the needs, wants, ...
