SS058 Shepherd & The Shrink How’s Your Attitude?

We hear a lot about the impact and power of attitude, but how often do we follow through on this message? Do we really understand how much of our lives is determined by how we react to events? In this episode, I--the Shepherd--talk about why your attitude is important and what attitude we should all strive for.

Today, I offer a Bible Study and reflection on what Scripture has to say about the power we have over our attitude. I note the power of humility and its role in leadership. I ask what it means to empty yourself like Jesus, and I share examples to show what this looks like. I talk about how attitudes are contagious, and I share the questions you should be asking yourself about your attitude. I talk about the practice of the First Fifteen, and I share some quotes on the power of attitude.


“The spiritual height of Jesus...is higher--and the depth that He descended is lower--than any point that you’ve ever been.”

- Dr. Matt Hook

“Entire churches have thrived or died because they have not remembered that attitudes are that powerful.”

- Dr. Matt Hook
