When you hear the phrase, "Shifting your lens" what pops up in your mind? In today's podcast, we're accompanied by Vera Xiong from Student Life as we discuss a Biblical narrative for the act of shifting your lens in life. We also include a fun challenge for each of you to try incorporating into your week ahead! Go ahead and give it a listen! 

Feeling stuck in a pit of gloom or sadness? We've all been there before. Sometimes, we're in a state of mundane more often than we think. No matter how you're feeling today, come settle in for a fun perspective on the power of reframing your situations for a more positive outlook. Hear one of my hilarious stories on reframing a situation with... my bathroom fan! 

Tune in as we dive into the purpose of a very simple daily activity: breathing. If your respirations ever feel somewhat insignificant - meaningless in comparison to the many tasks that meet you each day - we encourage you to carve out the next few minutes to gain an awareness on God's purpose behind our breaths. 

Welcome to the trailer of TWU Richmond's new podcast series! TWU-R is excited to release a compilation of fun, engaging, and bite-sized discussions catered to Richmond's staff and faculty members for the upcoming semester ahead. Make sure you tune in weekly for a hint of Biblical encouragement alongside an active challenge on the act of reframing your mindset on things above.

Our hope and prayer is that these podcasts would offer YOU a space to refocus away from the things of this world and instead press towards the Gospel's message of love and delight in our Lord and Saviour.
