Im pivoting to looking for God in the external world pivoting away from looking for God inside my thoughts & feeling. It’s new for me as I’m prone to excessive introspection & guilty of not enough tangible activities based off Biblical principles.

Here is whats in this episode:

1. Can you be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good?

2. What I learned from CS Lewis’ Screwtape letters

3. Evidence of God in the external world (not just within my thoughts or feelings). Hint: there are plenty! Like baby Koda my wife & I’s 1st Grandson.
