In Romans 12:2, Paul says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”And in Philippians 4:8, he says, “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Our thoughts matter to God. They affect the way we live, love, worship, and serve. This podcast is for women, wherever they are on their Christian journey, who are thoughtfully seeking God’s transforming power, who are striving to live as Christ wants them to everyday, and who want other Christian women to walk with them through life. During out time together, I'll share some thoughts, some stories, and sometimes a conversation with a special guest to help us live life thoughtfully as the women we were created to be.

    Start A New Story - Introduction

    Welcome to The Thoughtful Spot: the podcast for women, wherever they are on their Christian journey, who are thoughtfully seeking God’s transforming power, who are striving to live as Christ wants them to everyday, and who want other Christian women to walk with them through life.  I’m your host Terri Hester.   After taking some time off, I’m excited to come back with a special series for Advent. I’m going to be sharing an Advent study that I wrote called Start a New Story: Retelling the Christmas Story to Help You Start a New One. Over the next few weeks, I’ll talk about Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the wisemen, and then end with a chapter about you and me. Today we’ll begin with an introduction to the study.
    Scripture Reference:
    Luke 2:1-7 (NLT)Questions to Ponder:
    What are some of your favorite Christmas traditions? Have you continued any traditions from your childhood? If so, share one or two. Did you add new traditions as an adult? If so, share one or two. Is there anything new you would like to add to your Christmas celebration this year? If so, what is it?Why do you think the church starts over and retells the story of Jesus life every year?Facebook: www.facebook.com/terribearthoughts
