The Thoughtful Spot
In Romans 12:2, Paul says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”And in Philippians 4:8, he says, “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Our thoughts matter to God. They affect the way we live, love, worship, and serve. This podcast is for women, wherever they are on their Christian journey, who are thoughtfully seeking God’s transforming power, who are striving to live as Christ wants them to everyday, and who want other Christian women to walk with them through life. During out time together, I'll share some thoughts, some stories, and sometimes a conversation with a special guest to help us live life thoughtfully as the women we were created to be.

Welcome to The Thoughtful Spot - the podcast for women, wherever they are on their Christian journey, who are thoughtfully seeking God’s transforming power, who are striving to live as Christ wants them to everyday, and who want other Christian women to walk with them through life. I’m your host Terri Hester. Today, on the fifth episode of this series, I’m going to talk about the wise men and how they sought out a new story and then embraced and protected it for all of us.

- What would it look like to seek a new story right now? Where would you look?
- What might have happened if the wisemen had not protected the story?
- Do you think it’s important to protect your story?
