One of the most important skills you can teach yourself, and practice, is to see life from God’s perspective. When you do that, you can see and dwell on the amazing things all around us, every day. Our guest today explains this important idea, along with digging into some deep topics like forgiving yourself and working through negative self-talk.
John Stange is the lead pastor of Core Creek Community Church in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, as well as an adjunct professor at Cairn University, where he teaches courses on counseling, theology, and church planting. John is a certified speaker, trainer, and coach with the John Maxwell Team and is also the director of the National Mission Board, a ministry focused on church planting and church health. He hosts three podcasts, The Chapter-a-Day Audio Bible, Daily Devotions with Pastor John, and Dwell on These Things, which have been collectively downloaded more than five million times.
