A Note from Ryan
This week during our Wednesday night discipleship group we discussed the 5 Biblical Steps toward having good mental health. The 5 steps were:
1. Don't believe every thought
2. Guard your mind against garbage
3. Never let up on learning
4. Renew your mind daily with God's Word
5. Let God stretch your imagination
As we were discussing these points it hit me how important our attitude is to having good mental health.
Sunday, in 1 Peter 4, Peter reminded us that OUR ATTITUDE MATTERS. That life isn't just about DOING the right things, but about having a healthy / strong relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only through that relationship that we CHOOSE to align our lives with Jesus' teaching and our attitude starts to change so we can't imagine not serving, giving, or sharing the good news of Jesus with the people in our lives.
So this week, as we reflect of the idea of "taking on the attitude of Christ", what unhealthy thoughts are you believing? What garbage are you letting in your mind? Are you reading and continuing to learn? Are you spending time, daily, in God's word? And are you dreaming big, using your imagination to dream big dreams for your life?
It is too easy for us to allow our attitudes to ebb and flow based on what is going on around us. So this week, let's control what we allow into our minds, let's test every thought, and focus on building our relationship with Jesus because OUR ATTITUDES MATTER.
As always, my door is open. If you'd ever like to talk, pray together, or simply catch up, I'd love to connect.
Feel free to call me, send me an email at Ryan.Hanson@TheLightKC.org, or stop by the church.
I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Ryan Hanson

Re-Watch Sunday's Message
Message #7 in the sermon series "Strangers" by Ryan Hanson titled "Your Attitude Matters"
More often that we'd like to admit, doing the right things is not enough. Doing the right thing with the wrong attitude, accomplishes nothing. Today as we continue in our study of 1 Peter, we're going to look at a passage where Peter addresses this topic. Peter gives us all a choice, continue doing what the world allows, or permanently leave that life behind, choosing to take on the attitude of Christ, and allow our hearts and the trajectory of our lives to be forever changed. Your attitude matters.
