We are called to live lives where The Power of The Holy Spirit is evident in our lives. We are called to live the kind of lives where The Holy Spirit breathes on everything we do and multiplies our efforts 10x more. We are called to live lives where people are in awe of everything that we accomplish, but it's only possible if we create the perfect working environment for the Holy Spirit to facilitate this work in and through us.  Ephesians 3:20: Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.  In order to make sure that The Holy Spirit has the perfect working environment, which happens to be our mind and bodies (...your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 6:19), you need to make sure you are on the right diet. That's why on this week's episode, we will explore the importance of being mindful of the media you consume on a daily basis.
