In this episode of Watering The Seed, Coach D. Jackson challenges the idea that “common sense” should always be the highest level of our thinking. While common sense has value, it can also become a ceiling when it keeps us tied to familiar patterns, repeated limitations, and stagnant mindsets.Using scripture and practical insight, this episode explores how common thinking can keep us conformed, while renewed thinking positions us for transformation. Coach D. reminds listeners that God’s thoughts are higher than ours, and sometimes growth requires us to question what has been normalized, inherited, or accepted as “just the way things are.”This episode is for anyone who feels called to think higher, move wiser, and stop letting common limitation disguise itself as wisdom.
