James Bryan Smith’s thought from above for this episode is: “say no to say yes.” James learned this thought from above while under the tutelage of Richard Foster. Richard explained to James that whenever we say yes to something, we are also saying no to other things. Foster continued to explain to Jim that typically the things we say no to, are some of the most important things in our lives. James asked Richard how do we know what the right things are to say yes to? Richard told Jim that things like, time with God, time with your family, caring for yourself, and more.

Smith closes the episode by further explaining his thought from above. Saying no to requests or favors does not make you a bad person. When we say no to something we allow the chance to say yes to something else, and that can make all the difference. Say no to good things, so you can say yes to the right things, and know that God will be with you. You will be blessed in body mind and soul and in all of your relationships and it will allow others to shine in your place.
