What if I told you that God could be seen in the most ordinary things everyday? Take a break from the busyness of your lives to just stop & look around. Consider the things that we encounter all the time and overlook. Just think of all the lessons that we could learn from our children, in our homes, or our families. What if I told you that everyday, ordinary events could teach us extraordinary eternal truths...would you believe me? I'm BJ Sipe, and welcome to the Set Your Mind Above podcast.

S5 E6 - Overnight Infections & Watching Ice Melt

Feb 21 2025 18 mins  
Send us a text Our youngest has another double ear infection, and it came on fast. There was no warning, and suddenly she was miserable. As I held her tonight, I sat and watched my ice melt in my glass - it was slow, and it was subtle. What a contrast. We need to remember that spiritual growth and spiritual deterioration are not like an infection - neither happen overnight or are s

S5 E5 - Count It All Joy When You Face Various Snowballs

Feb 14 2025 14 mins  
Send us a text We got a big snow dump again, and the kids wanted to go outside and play in it. This was the best kind of snow, the kind that packs tight so you can make snowballs and snowmen. The kids asked me to teach them how, and I explained you have to apply pressure and press the snow in your hands - that's what makes it stronger. Life works the same way with our faith. We've

S5 E4 - I Don't Even Miss It Anymore

Feb 07 2025 16 mins  
Send us a text Kylie and I have been doing a healthy living challenge, and at the start it was very tough - especially what felt like a very restrictive diet. But the longer we've done it, the better we've felt. I've started to realize how poor my diet was before, and it wasn't the way I was designed to eat. Our new way of life is freeing - and I don't want to go back. The Christia

S5 E3 - Be A Bee

Feb 01 2025 13 mins  
Send us a text Bee's a pretty incredible. The female honeybee is capable of stinging a predator or what she considers dangerous, but not to protect herself - to protect the colony. Her act is self-sacrificing and selfless. She lays down her life for others. That is the nature of love. It puts the needs of others first. That is the kind of love Jesus demonstrated for us - laying dow

S5 E2 - A Time To Die

Jan 24 2025 19 mins  
Send us a text My grandmother a few days ago was put on hospice care, and I called to tell her goodbye just the other night. In Christ, we don't grieve as those who have no hope. She has fought the good fight, she has finished the race, she's kept the faith. Death is a part of life, and we will all face it. But for Christians, death is a release from this broken world and birth int

S5 E1 - More Than A Table

Jan 17 2025 17 mins  
Send us a text I noticed a table at our local Chick-Fil-A I had never noticed before. It said the following, "This table was built by artisans from A Better Way Ministries. The materials used were salvaged from unwanted and abandoned homes. The hands that built it belong to a person who also once felt unwanted and abandoned. Love, compassion, and grace are powerful tools." In the s

S4 E31 - A Discliplined, Daily, Lifelong Choice

Dec 27 2024 21 mins  
Send us a text Happy New Year Everyone! Are you ready to change? If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you. Make the right choice. Being a disciple isn't a New Year resolution. It is a discliplined choice that you make all year long for the rest of your life. Is it time? #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

S4 E30 - Just Playing With The Box

Dec 20 2024 11 mins  
Send us a text It happens every year with young children. You get them the things on their wishlist for Christmas, but then later on Christmas morning, you find them not playing with the gift - but the box it came in. We are not unlike children. God designed this world and the things he has made to direct us back to the real gift, himself. Unfortunately, mankind would rather ignore

S4 E29 - Treasure These Moments In Your Heart

Dec 14 2024 12 mins  
Send us a text Having three young children, especially around the Holidays, can be very chaoitic. But while that's true, I need to remember how quickly this stage flies by - and how much I will miss it. I only get one chance to impact my children, how will I use this time? Even Mary, the mother of Jesus, took moments to take in his upbringing and treasure the moments in her heart.

S4 E28 - The Richest Man In Town

Dec 06 2024 18 mins  
Send us a text "It's A Wonderful Life" is my alltime favorite Christmas movie, and among my favorite movies period. The story climaxes with two expressions concerning George Baily - one a note written by his guardian angel Clarence, "No man is a failure who has friends." The second, a toast from his kid brother Harry, "To my big brother George, the richest man in town!" But what ma
