    This week on the podcast, Martha and Kim have a conversation about what we set our minds and hearts on. Just like setting the temperature knob on a toaster oven, we can choose where to set our hearts. What does it look like to set our hearts on worship? We intentionally choose to worship God above, lifting our eyes above the things of this earth. Surprise ending!

    Thank you for joining us!

She has had a long career in the film and TV industry as a make-up artist.
