Influence of media, music, TV, and culture on thoughts and attitudes. Biblical Mindsets and Meditation Comparison between worldly and biblical mindsets (Psalm 1).

Speaking Words of Life The significance of words and affirmation in shaping attitudes. Stories about speaking encouragement and its impact. Facing Challenges and Persistence Nehemiah's story: remaining focused and persistent despite criticism and obstacles.
