Living With Eternal Perspective

What if the most important thing about your day is what you set your mind on before it begins? We dive into the gap between what we believe about heaven and how we actually live on a busy Tuesday—where inboxes, family schedules, and the seasonal pull of culture compete with a quieter, truer call to set our minds on things above.

With Colossians 3:2 as our compass, we unpack how anticipation of Christ’s return reframes ordinary choices. Frank shares a striking metaphor—our problems as a Rubik’s Cube in the wrong hands—and why handing it to the Master changes everything. Pat spotlights the power of small decisions, the danger of short-term thinking (hello, Esau’s porridge), and how grace received becomes grace given. We talk stewardship of attention, identity in entertainment, and why our speech at work and our habits at home reveal whether we’re driven by the moment or guided by the Spirit.

This conversation is grounded and practical: daily anchors of prayer and Scripture that stay relational, choosing silence over noise when our hearts feel restless, and building overflow so we have something to pour into our families. We get honest about comfort, control, and cultural distractions—from football to deadlines—and offer simple ways to realign: walk with the Spirit at His pace, not ours; guard the small doors where compromise starts; and remember that trials pass while God’s promises endure.
