Ep. 429: Are You A Thermometer Or A Thermostat? →
Focusing on Romans 12:12, this episode introduces a memorable metaphor: are you shaped by your environment, or do you shape it?

By rejoicing in hope, enduring trials, and staying connected to God through constant prayer, believers can influence their surroundings and reflect Gods peace and joy wherever they go.
