Jeremy Griffin introduces the podcast and talks about the "box test" he learned when he started riding motorcycles. The box test involves riding a figure 8 pattern inside a small box without putting your foot down, and it teaches the important lesson that "where you look is where you'll go."
He describes the size of the box as about the size of two neighborhood street squares. More than half the people in his advanced riding class dropped their motorcycles trying to do the box test because they weren't looking where they wanted to go.
He relates this lesson to driving a car - you need to look ahead in the middle distance, not right at the hood or too far down the road.
He shares a story from his childhood where his cousin hit a small tree while driving an ATV, because even though she saw the tree, that's where she looked and went.
Jeremy then connects this to how we live our lives. If we stare at negatives from the past, we will find ourselves going towards those negatives and repeating old patterns, just like looking where we don't want to go on a motorcycle.
He encourages listening to Philippians 4:8, to think on whatever is great, excellent or praiseworthy. By focusing on what God has for us instead of negatives, we will go where we look and get to the positive points instead of avoiding negatives.
In closing, Jeremy invites listeners to message him at redux.church to get coffee, shares that he's been drinking smoothies instead of coffee lately, and reminds listeners that the Acts podcast series continues on Fridays.
