My Motivation My Mindset Podcast

“Thinking biblically, the Study of scripture, current events, and personal development are why this channel and Bible Born were created. My name is chris San Rocco and I am a business owner in the secular world. I struggled for years to find true meaning and purpose out of my life as a non believer and I still have my struggles today as a Christian . When I became a Christian I felt the need to not only study deeper into scripture myself, but wanted to share with other people what I learn to help I’m not experiencing the frustration or confusion that can come with it at times. My dad and I created Bible born and I learn and grow myself through this channel and I encourage you to do the same. Here we Learn the meanings of the Bible (beyond the basics) through a Book by book commentary, structured presentations, and short animations. We like to take the theology of scripture, develop a deeper understanding of it, and apply it to our daily lives. If a Deeper Study into the meanings and messages throughout the Bible and how we can relate these messages to current events is something that interests you then I encourage you to explore the channel and please don’t forget to click the subscribe button.”

Introduction into our next series which will consist of 25 episodes/videos on the Book of Genesis with commentary on the importance of thinking biblically, momentum, and decisioin making.

What does it mean to be a christian? What does it mean to have biblical momentum? Have you asked yourself that question? What are you thoughts? In This Video we discuss what it means to be a christian, how momentum works, what is biblical momentum and how to ask Jesus into our hearts and lives. https://www.bibleborn.com/

Solomon was building worldly momentum but had no focus on biblical momentum for most of his life. What does it mean to build momentum? How hard is it to lose momentum ? We can build momentum in sin or in positive things so we have to be careful what we are focusing on in our daily lives.https://www.bibleborn.com/

Momemtum is hard to build and easy to lose. Biblical momentum works the same way and is hard to get started but easy to forget if we do not remain focused. Developing our skill of keeping our momentum moving takes work and practice. Understanding that we are still flesh makes this process even more important as we move through our daily lives.

https://www.bibleborn.com/Adam thought he knew it all in the garden. He thought he had a better way (man's way) and because of that choice to eat from the wrong tree we now have to fight with the flesh on a daily basis. Getting better at dealing with our flesh takes practice and the better we get the more destruction we can avoid. The destruction of Earth is coming and is happening before our eyes now. Slowly but surely we are getting closer to that day of judgement where we will all have to answer for our Sins. Will you be ready?Music: Climb by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

When Adam chose to eat from the wrong tree he immediately turned his back on God. This decision is what we are in a constant battle with our flesh, the world, and satan to this day and we will continue to fight this battle until we leave this earth. Solomon fought this battle as well on a grand scale having eveything and being the King the same way we all fight our individual battles everyday. In this episode we discuss how to be a better disciple on the earth and some good study practices to get better and reading the understanding the bible. It is not meant to always be easy but with practice you can develop your skills and get better everyday.

Eventually we are all going to face the day of judgement. How did you live? Did you walk with God? Did you turn your back to God? in this episode we continue talking about mans purpose as we take a side venture into Isiah. Judgement day is coming we want to ensure we are prepared.

https://www.bibleborn.com/Christmas day is a great time for reflection as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I believe anytime if good to reflect and today is extra special. In this episode we discuss our "mission" and "vision" while on this earth as good stewards, ambassadors, and always focused on glorifying God in all that we do. 4 steps of focus: 1. Prayer2. Scripture3. Studying4. Always God's way (not our way)https://www.silvermansound.com/free-music/climb

https://www.bibleborn.com/Since the garden of eden man has been battling self fulfillment with giving control and credit to God. Why do we fight so hard to give up control ? This is something that does not come naturally to us being human (flesh). We like control and to think we are in control of our own lives and environment when in realilty that has been planned out a long time ago. This understanding of our lives and the "future" can bring great peace and provide us with the purpose we were put on this Earth To do. In this episode we continue talking about Solomon as we get into Man's Purpose. Why are we here and what should we be doing? Music: Climb by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

If we didn't create ourselves how can we expect to know what will fully satisfy our hearts? God created us and set the good works for us to do before all of creation. When we relinquish control and let God guide our lives things can become much less hectic. https://www.bibleborn.com/ We see throughtout this episode as Solomon struggled with this concept and spent most of his life in misery. Having everything worldly he could ask for was not enough for him.

https://www.bibleborn.com/Where is your focus? Are you driven by success, money, power, pleasure, or are you searching for something more meaningful ? When we allow ourselves to stay trapped in the grip of the world, the flesh, and evil, we are allowing ourselves to be vulnerable to all the problems that come from this view alone. Without God in our lives , without the hope of eternity, and the understanding that this is all meaningless without God, we can be sure to live a life with fleeting pleasure that is followed by quick and powerful disappointments. These can lead us back into the cycles of the world (fear, depression, anxiety, our memories, and our imaginations)

All videos and episodes can be found at https://www.bibleborn.com/Why do we try so hard to control time? We think that by something we do, say, or think we can control the outcome of a situation. This is something I personally struggle with on a daily basis. If I just do this and if i just plan this out to every detail then I know I can get this result. To some extent this is correct but when we realise that God has the ultimate plan and we can only do so much to control the outcome, we will begin to relinquish that control . In this episode we discuss why it is so important to give up our control on this earth, connect spirtually to Jesus, walk the correct way, and avoid a big majority of the pitfalls most humans have to deal with when following the worldlly view and the desires of the flesh alone. These desires when not channeled correctly can and do lead to our destruction through addiction, pain, depression, and anxiety. All of these things can and were meant to be avoided by us by walking with the Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our lives as we go through our earthly journeys. Without this supernatual power in us we are leaving ourselves vulnerable to the grip of the world and the flesh (satan). Music: Climb by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

All videos and episodes can be found at https://www.bibleborn.com/In This episode we get deeper into why we worry so much as human flesh. Why do we worry about everything and how worry can be a gateway into anxiety/ depression which can then lead to the wordly / fleshly search for instant gratification. When we worry about the past (memory or future (imagination) we are setting ourselves up for feelings of regret (depression/past) or feelings of (anxiousness/ future). Will I be enough? Will I make enough? What will I be doing in 5 years, 10 years? If we allow ourselves to stay here (where satan wants us to always be), then the only logical places we will search for a fix is the world and the flesh. (focus on flesh find flesh, focus on spirit find spirit). The longer we allow ourselves to stay focused on the world and the flesh the harder we are making it on ourselves and the more we are keeping ourselves vulnerable to sin. Sin can come in many forms, shapes, sizes and it doesn't always look bad on the surface. If we are not careful when we are in the vulnerable (worrysome state) we can get caught in here . Maybe its having "one drink" or going out for "one hour", or going to the casino for "1 meeting" then all the sudden we are caught back into old habits or we find ourselves creating new ones to "FILL THE VOID". Solomon was the master of this and by creating his own worldly kingdom he kept himself in this state of misery for most of his adult life. In chapter 3 of ecclesiastes he found that everything has its time (we do not control this so why worry at all? )Music: Climb by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

In this episode we introduce Ecclesiastes 3 and start discussing why we (humans) worry so much. When we worry about the past we are worrying about our memories and when we worry about the futue we are using our imaginations to create scenarios that do not exist. How do we worry less? We will go over the key to worrying less in this episode as well we discussing how we as humans can easily fall back into sin if we are not careful. The majority of the worldly view is targeted to keep us away from God and focsed on the flesh (satans way). When we stay stuck in this view we are only going to see the (worldly messages) and look to fulfillment in those things (false idols). This can end up being in things that are on the surface bad or good such as success, money, power, political party identity, government, etc. All of these things are not completely bad or wrong but when these are the only objects of our "happiness" and "purpose" that is where we will continually run into the issue of worry and being anxious. Why will we keep worrying if we do not break this cycle? We were not created to be worldly and focused on the flesh. We were created to focus on the eternal and spirtual while we use our fleshly bodies as vessels for our time on this earth (glorifying God). When we understand this and embrace it fully is when the changes will start to occur and the worry will subside. The more we practice this and spend time in the word the easier it will become and the LESS THE WORLD WILL HAVE INFLUENCE OVER US! (satan is not happy when this happens) .

In this episode we re cap the last 6 part video series studying through Ecclesiastes 1 and 2. Coming to the conclusion on why Solomon hated his life even though he had all the wealth, power, influence, and pleasures any man could ever have in a lifetime. As the King he looked great on the surface and to the world, but deep down he was endlessly searching for true fullfullment in this earthly life. We should always be careful not to focus on building a worldly kingdom that we can get stuck in and turn our backs on Jesus and God. Sin can feel great in teh moment and disquise itself in such a way where we do not realize we are sinning until the serious long term damage is done. Keeping ourselves out of sin is a constant process because like Solomon we are always fighting our flesh and this is why it is important to always go back to the word, read scripture, and pray as we go on our earthly walks. We were not created to worry, or compare, or focus on false idols (money, sex, power) but rather to Glorify God and trust in him to carry us through by doing the good works he prepared for us before creation.

In this episode we finish chapter 2 of Ecclesiastes discussing the importance of keeping ourselves focused on the Lord. When we take the time to practice, pray, study, and read the Bible, we are allowing ourselves to be molded by Jesus and keep ourselves on the right path. The world can throw many messages at us everyday and if we are not careful one wrong step can throw us off course. This can lead down the road of addiction, unhappiness, problems, anger, greed, and jealously. When we slip into these sins we allow our minds to be influenced by false idols. The longer we stay away and stay focused on the wrong things the harder it can be to get ourselves back on track. Solomon had this problem most of his life bearing worldly fruit, having alot of success, and building a massive worldly kingdom. Built without God he came to the conclusion that it was all meaningless without God. Are you bearing worldly or Godly fruit? Are you focused on Eternity or on the focus of the world?

In this episode we discuss why Solomon hated his life. As the King of Israel Solomon had everything a man could want but he was still miserable. Wisdom, riches, buildings, influence, and worldly pleasures did not do it for Solomon and he did not know why. Are you finding fullfillment in your daily lives or are you finding yourself to be miserable? Satan is strong and uses the weakness of our flesh to trick us and get us to pay attention to fleshly pleasures. Envy, greed, wrath, pride, all of these are fould when we stay focused on the worldly view (social media, the news, friends, peers, co workers).The more we learn to see through God's eyes the less we will notice the view of the world and the more peace we will find during our time on this earth.

Are you focusing on what the world is telling you? Focused on government, celebrities, your neighbors, and what everyone is doing ? In this episode we go further into Ecclesiastes to discuss this and how to start to escape that worldly grip, satans grip, and the powerful grip of the flesh.

We continue our discussion on the purpose of man. Why are we here on this earth ? To work, pay bill, repeat, and die? Is there more to it? If you find yourself asking this question as I believe many of us do at certain times in our lives then we think you will find this very informative. Are you answering the call of Jesus Christ? Are you walking the path you were meant to walk?

What are we here on this earth to do? Why are we here? There has to be more to life then just going to work, paying bills, and doing it all over again right? Why was I created? These are all great questions and questions we should all be asking ourselves. In this episode we start to discuss what is our purpose on the earth, why we are here, what it means to glorify God, and why we have to constantly battle with our flesh, the world, and Satan. Nothing new is happening right now regardless of what the news or social media is telling you to believe . The earth and man have been here before.

In this episode we discuss the importance of always having an open heart and asking God for guidance. We all are working hard for success, security, and to better our lives, but don't get to caught up in the worldly view. By going back to prayer, reading scripture, and staying focused on Jesus we can give ourselves a peace in our purpose knowing we are walking on the right path.

In this episode we talk about how 1 sin can be a gateway to another and that can lead to massive shifts in your life if left unchecked. "Better to be poor and wise then rich and foolish"We should always be hearing God and what he is asking of us on our daily walks. It won't always be easy but knowing we are on God's path can provide a great sense of not just purpose but peace.Ecclesiastes Chapter 4 Verses 1-16 NASB

In this episode we discuss the powers of the flesh and how to become better and battling worldly desires. When we emerse ourselves in scripture we are building up our defenses and putting on the armor of God. We will never be completely free from sin while we are on this earth but we can become better at how we sin and how often. Solomon shows us in chapter 4: verses 1-6 what it means to work hard without God and how it all is pointless.

In this episode we continue talking about escaping the worldly view and focusing more consistently on the eternal (Godly view). How one little sin, can lead to many bigger sins, and eventually if left unchecked overtaking ones life. Most importantly we discuss through these 6 verses how to navigate through the sins we all commit to become better and avoiding them all together.

In this epiosde we discuss how to become aware of the cycle of envy and jealously. By being more aware we can better defend against getting stuck in the worldly view and focus more on the eternal (godly) way of seeing things. Discussing and referencing Ecclesiastes 4: 1-5

In this episode we discuss the importance of keeping it simple, following God's timeline, and keeping an open heart.

In this episode we talk about how the lord has set a specific time for everything in our lives. We are reading Ecclesiastes 3: 1-10 and 11-22 God Set Eternity in the Heart of Man.

Children do not get embarasses, they do not worry what others think, when they make a mistake they get back up and try again. We are to be like children in our adult lives, always knowing we will sin, we will make mistakes, but with god steering the ship we can always succeed.
