The world has so much impact on our thought life—on how we think about ourselves, about what matters, about who God is—and so often we just passively allow the world to form us. On this episode, Elizabeth Woodson is urging us not to just passively or thoughtlessly receive what the world is dishing out, but to actively take in God's Word and reform our thinking. She encourages us to spend time in God's Word—to meditate on it, study it, memorize it, and allow it to impact our whole person for good.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." — Philippians 4:8
