Common Sense, Renewed Minds

Starting Right ·

2025/10/29

Start your day with a thought you can actually use: a renewed mind beats a noisy world. We open with a few laugh‑out‑loud warning labels—please don’t eat toner—and use that absurdity to spotlight something more serious: how easily our thinking gets tossed by headlines, hot takes, and the urge to fit God into whatever the culture is saying. Instead, we walk through a simple, solid shift drawn from Romans 12:2 and James 1—let Scripture shape your view, not the other way around. By the end, you’...

What If Your Answer Is Already On The Move

Starting Right ·

2025/10/28

A church that drifted through floodwaters, turned at two intersections, and came to rest on the very lot it was denied sounds like folklore—until you read the records and stare at the plaque that says moved here by the hand of God. We open our morning with Ephesians 3:20 and then watch that promise breathe through a true story from Swan Quarter, North Carolina, where timing, current, and courage converged into a landmark of hope. Beyond the drama, this story offers a practical way to carry ho...

Unlimited Gifts For Ordinary Days

Starting Right ·

2025/10/27

What if the patience you’re praying for is already yours? We open with Ephesians 1:3 and a bold promise: every spiritual blessing has been lavished on us in Christ. From there, we trace a clear path to the Fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—and show how these qualities move from theology to practice in the middle of your busiest moments. Along the way we highlight why the Fruit of the Spirit is not a personality test ...

Calm In The Storm

Starting Right ·

2025/10/24

What if the calm you need is closer than the storm that scares you? We take a five-minute journey across the Sea of Galilee, where seasoned fishermen met a furious squall and Jesus slept through the spray. When they finally woke him, one command quieted the chaos and one question pierced their fear: Why are you so afraid? We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text Message Support the show

Hidden Rivers, Deeper Thirst

Starting Right ·

2025/10/23

What if the driest place you can imagine is sitting on a secret ocean of supply? We open the morning with a startling fact: space shuttle radar mapped ancient lakes and riverbeds beneath the Sahara, revealing reservoirs of freshwater just a few feet below the sand. That image becomes our framework for understanding spiritual thirst—how life at the surface can feel parched while a deeper source waits to be tapped. From there, we step into the scene at a well in Samaria, where Jesus speaks abou...

Night Thoughts, Tamed

Starting Right ·

2025/10/22

Your head hits the pillow and your brain slams the gas—sound familiar? We dig into a practical, faith-rooted way to slow runaway thoughts and finally find real rest at night. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:5, we talk about what it truly means to take every thought captive, not as a lofty ideal but as a simple, repeatable practice you can use the moment worry starts to sprint. Think of it like calf roping for the mind: you lasso the thought, halt its momentum, and turn it around toward truth. B...

Beach Joy, Soul Peace

Starting Right ·

2025/10/21

A child’s squeal over a seashell can reset an entire morning. We head to the shoreline, where two kids on a treasure hunt turn colored glass and broken shells into priceless finds—and their delight becomes a mirror for the way we handle stress, routine, and the weight of daily life. Living by the ocean should make awe easy, yet familiarity can numb our senses. This short, reflective journey explores how reclaiming wonder clears mental clutter and restores peace. You’ll come away with simple p...

You Were Made For These Days

Starting Right ·

2025/10/20

When life feels fast and the furious, what if you’re not behind but exactly on time? We take five focused minutes to slow the noise and strengthen the soul, drawing on Scripture and Jeremy Camp’s “These Days” to anchor a simple claim: you were made for right now. This short, practical reflection is for anyone feeling hurried, overwhelmed, or unsure about their purpose. You’ll walk away with a clear, usable mindset for the day: stay when it’s hard, love with open arms, and shine where you stan...

When Opposition Opens A Door

Starting Right ·

2025/10/17

Ever feel like life’s hardest moments arrive with a pop quiz you didn’t study for? We flip that script. Tests aren’t teachers—they’re revealers. They surface what’s already in you and uncover whether your daily choices align with what you say you believe. Drawing on a candid school-days story and two grounding passages—Paul’s open door in the middle of opposition and James’s call to count trials as joy—we explore how resistance and opportunity often travel together and how endurance grows whe...

Adopted, Anchored, and Starting Right with Faith

Starting Right ·

2025/10/16

We share a simple farm story to show how we always follow what we’re tied to, then point to the deeper truth of adoption in Christ and the daily habit of trust. Scripture reframes stress and offers a clear next step for handing over today’s burden and starting with peace.

Math, Bananas, and a Side of Humble Pie

Starting Right ·

2025/10/15

A light classroom story about “five apples” opens into a deeper look at how missing facts change our certainty, why we rush to judgment, and how humility and patience protect our relationships. We share honest family moments, ground the lesson in Ephesians 4:2, and end with encouragement to slow down and build others up. Be blessed, my friends. Have a great day.

Watermelon Caper, Grace Given

Starting Right ·

2025/10/15

A stolen watermelon, a knock at the door, and a seven-year-old’s conscience tugging at a question he can’t shake—if it’s fine, why are we crawling? Today we share the Great Watermelon Caper of 1938, a true family story that starts with sticky summer joy and ends with a lesson strong enough to reset your day: the difference between guilt that weighs you down and grace that lifts you up. We walk through Don’s childhood memory with color and care: older brothers and pastor’s kids urging a stealt...

No Shoes, No Pew, No Problem

Starting Right ·

2025/10/10

A packed sanctuary, a barefoot student, and an elder with a cane—sometimes the quietest moments speak the loudest. We share the unforgettable story of Bill, a new believer who can’t find a seat and settles on the floor, and Mr. Edwards, an older church elder who lowers himself beside him so the young man doesn’t have to worship alone. The message that follows is simple and searing: people may forget a sermon, but they won’t forget embodied love. We unpack why this scene hits so hard: how comf...

Daily Bread, Fresh Ears

Starting Right ·

2025/10/08

What if the prayer you’ve recited for years still has untapped power to steady your mind and reorder your day? We take a slow, honest walk through the Lord’s Prayer and uncover how its structure—worship first, surrender next, then provision, mercy, and protection—reframes the way we approach God and the world around us. It’s a short, focused journey that trades hurry for clarity and turns a familiar passage into a living pattern you can carry into every conversation, decision, and challenge. ...

Forgiven, Then Free

Starting Right ·

2025/10/08

Five minutes can change the tone of your whole day. We share a small farm story with a big truth: an eight-year-old’s impulsive shot, a hidden duck, and a sister’s quiet leverage that turns daily life into penance—until a brave confession meets unexpected grace. That simple moment opens a window into how guilt lingers, how secrets exhaust us, and how real forgiveness breaks the cycle and returns us to joy. We walk through the emotional mechanics of hiding—why fear makes us easy to control, wh...

My God Can

Starting Right ·

2025/10/06

Mornings feel different when you remember you’re not carrying the day alone. We take five focused minutes to reset with Scripture, a clear view of trust, and the uplifting punch of Katie Nicole’s “My God Can.” This isn’t about pretending life is easy; it’s about anchoring yourself to promises that hold when plans fall apart and emotions run hot. The heartbeat of the episode is simple and freeing: I can’t, but my God can. We connect that theme to Romans 8:28, showing how real hope does not den...

Five Minutes to Lift Someone Up

Starting Right ·

2025/10/03

Five minutes can reset a day. We open with a simple question—why are there so many critics and so few encouragers?—and follow it to a windswept pier in the Bahamas where a young sailor’s dream meets a chorus of doubt. As warnings pile up, one voice cuts through: Bon voyage, we’re with you. That moment becomes a compass for how we speak to each other, online and off, when the stakes feel high and the path looks rough. By the end, you’ll have a short list of phrases that lift others without sug...

Reverse to Move Forward

Starting Right ·

2025/10/02

A Model A Ford crossed America and back without shutting off the engine—and did it in reverse. That jaw-dropping 1930 road trip is more than a curiosity; it’s a mirror for how we handle detours, dead ends, and the quiet tug to turn around. We unpack the stunt in vivid detail and draw a straight line to a deeper truth: sometimes the only way forward is a 180. You’ll leave today's episode with a story you’ll retell and some encouragement, especially If you're feeling stuck, cynical, or stretche...

Two Horses Walk into a Field—Only One Has a Bell

Starting Right ·

2025/10/01

Start your day with a clear mind and a grounded heart. We explore what it means to be led, not driven—drawing on the Good Shepherd picture from Scripture and a vivid story of two horses, one blind and one wearing a bell. Together, they show how steady guidance outperforms constant striving, and how small, consistent cues can bring us back to safety, nourishment, and peace when life feels loud. We break down the power of recognition—“My sheep hear my voice”—and offer practical ways to build th...
