Send us Fan MailToday's guest is Natalie Rivans — co-CEO of ReOrigin, certified menopause coach, somatic practitioner, and mindfulness teacher. Natalie shares her story with us: years as a Metropolitan Police officer in London, living with undiagnosed ADHD, overriding her body's signals in a high-pressure environment, and eventually experiencing a complete physical collapse with chronic pain, digestive issues, and debilitating symptoms that no specialist could explain. Her turning point came sitting in a car overlooking the sea, listening to a podcast about neuroplasticity. That moment led her to ReOrigin — and eventually to becoming its co-CEO and co-creating ReNew, a menopause program that has produced remarkable pilot results.What I love most about Natalie is that she brings both the lived experience and the science. And she is deeply, genuinely compassionate about what women are moving through.What we cover:Natalie's story — from Metropolitan Police officer to chronic illness to complete collapse, the thousands of pounds spent on specialists, the spreadsheet tracking symptoms, and the moment sitting by the sea that changed everythingWhat brain retraining actually is — a structured way of working with neuroplasticity to recognize and interrupt automatic patterns that keep the brain and nervous system in a heightened, protective state; it is not toxic positivity or positive thinking, it is deliberate, repetitive, embodied changeNeuroplasticity explained accessibly — the brain's natural ability to adapt and change through experience and repetition; like learning to drive, new neural pathways are built gradually through practiceThe nervous system as common thread — why so many chronic conditions (fatigue, pain, anxiety, digestive issues) share nervous system dysregulation as a component, and why the brain-gut connection is central to all of itThe window of tolerance — how prolonged stress and trauma narrow our capacity, making small demands feel enormous, and how pacing, titration, and pendulation at ReOrigin help gradually widen that windowMenopause and the brain — how estrogen and progesterone interact with receptors throughout the brain, not just the reproductive system; why the limbic system becomes more reactive during the transition; and what is actually happening physiologically during a hot flashLimbic loops — the repeated cycles in which a sensation or thought triggers an automatic emotional response (the sleep example is particularly recognizable), and how ReNew helps women identify these without self-blameThe ReNew program — education, neuroplasticity, somatic practices, sleep support, mindset and self-compassion, movement, community, and body kindness; built from thousands of peer-reviewed studiesThe pilot results — by day 90: 77% of participants described overall wellbeing as good (vs 13% at baseline); 80% improvement in sleep; depression lowered by 80%; anxiety lowered by 83%Perimenopause as threshold — a beautiful closing exchange about how this transition is not an ending but a doorway into a more authentic version of ourselves, and why being in the body matters so much right nowConnect with Natalie & ReOrigin:ReOriginReNew menopause programInstagramResources:Free Masterclass:  The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.mynourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# n this powerful episode of Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, Kathy DeGraw teaches how repeated thoughts create neurological pathways and how spiritual agreements can reinforce what you believe, expect, and experience. You will learn why negative thinking can become an automatic mental pattern and how renewing your mind can help interrupt destructive cycles. Kathy reveals how neuroplasticity connects with Romans 12:2 and the biblical command to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. She explains the importance of repetition, declarations, Scripture, faith, worship, and intentionally choosing thoughts that produce hope instead of fear. If you have struggled with mental strongholds, fear, worry, defeat, passivity, or negative expectations, this teaching will challenge you to stop reinforcing the old pathways and begin creating new ones. Learn how to take authority over destructive thoughts, change your emotional responses, strengthen healthy mental patterns, and partner with the Holy Spirit as you pursue freedom and transformation. Your thinking does not have to remain the same. Renew your mind, strengthen your faith, and begin building new pathways that lead toward peace, healing, breakthrough, and victory. #RenewYourMind #Neuroplasticity #NegativeThinking #MentalStrongholds #BiblicalMindRenewal **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/  Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - Receive a free prayer pdf on The Power of your Words at https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/declarations-download/ - Receive a free prayer pdf on Anointing Oil at https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/anointingoil/ - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

Jesus Is King: The Discipleship Gospel Jonathan Storment, argues that entering God's kingdom requires repentance—surrendering to Jesus as King under His authority. Using stories ranging from a traffic-stop misunderstanding to conversion, he explains that rebellion against authority runs deep in humanity. He warns that American churches can become “sociological, not Christological,” reshaping Jesus to fit cultural, political, or personal preferences. Citing examples like Jefferson's cut-up Bible, the slave Bible, the Jesus Seminar, and altered Chinese Bible passages, he says some “Jesuses” and gospels must be rejected. Drawing from Matthew's portrayal of Jesus' authority and the cost of following Him, he urges leaders to stop editing Jesus and instead be changed by Him—the crucified, enemy-loving King—so the church can again turn the world upside down. 00:00 Welcome and Intro 00:46 Speeding Story Setup 01:35 Pulled Over and Frisked 03:16 Why We Resist Authority 04:14 Kingsnorth and Surrender 06:10 Churches Becoming Hollow 08:28 August and Nazi Pressure 09:17 Barth and Real Jesus 12:27 Rejecting Fake Jesuses 13:29 Matthew and King Jesus 15:09 Centurion Gets Authority 16:16 Jesus Gives Orders 17:50 Scissors Through History 22:33 Let Jesus Heal You 22:58 The Thorn Crown King 26:55 Turning the World Upside Down 28:16 Surrender and Closing Visit Renew.org to sign up for our email newsletter and be the first to know about new content, books and resources.  https://renew.org/ Check out the following from RENEW.org: Events: https://renew.org/resources/events/ Videos: https://renew.org/media/videos/ Podcasts: https://renew.org/media/podcasts/ Articles: https://renew.org/articles/ Free eBooks: https://renew.org/resources/free-ebooks/ Sign up for our newsletter: https://renew.org/resources/newsletter-sign-up/ Get our Premium podcast feed featuring all the breakout sessions from the RENEW gathering early.  https://reallifetheologypodcast.supercast.com/  Be sure to like, subscribe and follow on social media!  You can find us on: Instagram: @the.renew.network  Facebook: Renew.org  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@RENEWnetwork Twitter: @therenewnetwork TikTok: the.renew.network  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/RENEW

Have you ever had the thought, “I really want something sweet,” and wondered—is that an urge? Or is it a thought I need to change? There's an important difference between renewing your mind and allowing an urge—and knowing the difference can help you stop feeling like you have to talk yourself out of wanting food. In this episode of The Christian Weight-Loss Podcast, we're talking about: What an urge actually is How your thoughts can create urges Why urges aren't only about food The difference between renewing a thought and allowing an urge Why you don't have to convince yourself that you don't want something How self-control allows you to experience desire without automatically acting on it Why sometimes you need to renew a thought, sometimes you need to allow an urge—and sometimes you need to do both Here's the simple framework: Renew the thought.Allow the urge.Choose the action. And this is exactly why meal planning plays such an important role in stopping overeating. When you decide ahead of time what you're going to eat, you don't have to wait until an urge shows up to decide what you want to do. But there isn't just one “right” way to meal plan. Inside the Christian Weight-Loss App, I teach you 4 different ways to plan your meals so you can learn how to Meal Plan YOUR Way™—and create a plan you can actually stick to. Come join us inside the app and learn how to plan your meals, allow the urges, and follow through—peacefully, not perfectly. Join The Christian Weight-Loss App Here

Text me your comments or questions!Something shifts when you realize God isn't only calling you to “try harder” but to come closer. We're talking about Hebrew year 5787 as a window for deeper spiritual renewal, a greater measure of the glory of God, and a life that actually gets filled instead of running on fumes.We open up 1 Samuel 11:14 where Samuel says, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there,” and we treat that line like an invitation, not a slogan. Gilgal becomes a picture of the altar, a real meeting place with God, where refreshment is not random but designed. We unpack how renewal can look like rain starting as a drizzle and turning into a downpour, and why God sometimes reveals Himself in “measures” that grow as we pursue Him.Then we go after the deeper language behind “renew,” connecting it to the idea of sharpening a sword. That turns renewal into something practical and powerful: precision, brightness, and usefulness in the hands of God. We also explore the symbolism around the number seven, including a Hebrew letter association that looks like a sword and carries a crown, and we tie it to identity, glory, and what it means to be more than a fan of Jesus. We finish with a bold vision of Sabbath rest as a daily reality you can bring into your home, marriage, relationships, and work.If you want more than religious talk and you're hungry for real encounters with God's presence, listen through and sit with it. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs renewal, and leave a review, then tell us: what does “altar time” look like in your daily life?Support the showYou can support the ministry of FaithFire here.For text alerts when we go live or release future podcasts, text FAITHFIRE to 55498.

What is shaping the way you think—the Word of God or the voice of the world? In this transformative teaching, Pastor Benjamin Komanapalli Jr. reveals that true transformation begins with the renewal of the mind. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2 and other Scriptures, he explains how our thoughts shape our imagination, beliefs, decisions, actions, habits, and ultimately our lifestyle. This message will challenge you to take responsibility for your thoughts, renew your mind with God's Word, and align your thinking with His truth. Renew your mind, let God's Word transform your life so you advance and possess the best God has for you.

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Pastor Chris Heller   1 Timothy 1:8-20 What's the purpose of sound doctrine, and what does it have to do with grace? Using sound doctrine as the plumb line, how does our faith measure up?   Paul knew firsthand what it meant to be changed by grace. His story reminds us that none of us is beyond the reach of God, and none of us ever outgrows our need for Him.   This Sunday, we'll be challenged to take an honest look at our own hearts and consider what it looks like to hold tightly to faith in the daily challenge of following Christ.   #Renew #doctrine #Timothy #Blueprint #sermon #sunday #onlinechurch

Send us your feedback — we're listeningRomans 12:2 — Be Transformed by the Renewing of Your Mind: A Closing Prayer for Renewal and Rest Themes: Renewal · Transformation · Surrender Scripture — Romans 12:2 (NIV)  “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Emotional Opening The day is coming to a close. The noise is beginning to fade, but sometimes the mind becomes louder when everything around us becomes quiet. Tonight, some people are tired, some are disappointed, and some are carrying thoughts they wish they could switch off. Spoken Prayer Jesus, the day is coming to a close. The noise is beginning to fade, but sometimes the mind becomes louder when everything around us becomes quiet. Tonight, some people are tired, some are disappointed, and some are carrying thoughts they wish they could switch off. Romans 12:2 speaks of being transformed by the renewing of our minds. So tonight we come to You not only asking for sleep, but asking You to renew what has been worn down within us. We pray for the person in Australia who has carried a long day, the family in China facing tomorrow's responsibilities, the household in Hong Kong needing reassurance, the worker in Ghana who feels exhausted, the parent in Nigeria carrying concern, and the person in Spain who needs quiet peace tonight. Lord Jesus, renew our minds where fear has been rehearsing the future. Renew our thoughts where regret keeps replaying the past. Renew our hearts where disappointment has become heavy. Holy Spirit, help us release what does not belong in this night. We do not have to solve tomorrow before we sleep. We can place unanswered questions in the hands of Jesus and allow grace to meet us here. Father, forgive what needs forgiving, heal what needs healing, and teach us what needs learning. Where today's pressures have distorted the way we see ourselves, remind us that our identity is held in Christ. Now, Lord, let the mind become quiet. Let the body rest. Let the heart breathe. We surrender the unfinished conversations, the unfinished work and the unanswered questions. Jesus, You have been with us today, and You will still be with us tomorrow. We rest in Your grace tonight, trusting You with what we cannot carry any further. Amen. Blessing May Jesus renew your mind and quiet your heart tonight. May His grace help you release today, receive His peace, and rest without carrying tomorrow before it arrives. About This Prayer A closing prayer of the day for renewal, surrender and rest.

This video comes from the 2025 RENEW.org Driven Conference. This video features Orpheus Heyward, teaching on why the Word of God must be preeminent. Heyward argues that Scripture should hold first place in Christian faith, local ministry, and global impact, not competing with Jesus' preeminence but revealing it as God's documented revelation. Using 1 Corinthians 2, he contrasts worldly wisdom with God's wisdom, emphasizing that the gospel's power does not depend on persuasive speech but on the Spirit's revelation of God's hidden redemptive plan. He explains the “natural man” cannot accept spiritual truths, warns against watering down Christianity for comfort or acceptance, and urges churches to remain spiritually grounded in the Holy Spirit's revealed Word as final authority. 00:00 Orpheus Takes Stage 03:02 Why Word Comes First 05:23 Reading 1 Corinthians 2 08:26 Corinth and Worldly Wisdom 12:08 Christ Crucified Over Philosophy 16:55 Mystery Revealed by Spirit 24:04 Natural vs Spiritual Mind 29:08 Final Call Stay Spiritual Visit Renew.org to sign up for our email newsletter and be the first to know about new content, books and resources.  https://renew.org/ Be sure to like, subscribe and follow on social media!  You can find us on: Instagram: @the.renew.network  Facebook: Renew.org  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@RENEWnetwork Twitter: @therenewnetwork TikTok: the.renew.network  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/RENEW

Send us your feedback — we're listeningUK — 2 Corinthians 4:16 — Renewed Day by Day: A Midday Prayer for Strength Themes: Renewal · Strength · Perseverance Scripture — 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)  “Inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” Midday can reveal what the morning has hidden. Perhaps the energy has gone, the list is still long, and the thing we hoped would be easier has become more complicated. This is not a failure. It is a moment to stop, breathe and remember that God can renew what we cannot repair by effort alone. Spoken Prayer Father, midday can reveal what the morning has hidden. Perhaps the energy has gone, the list is still long, and the thing we hoped would be easier has become more complicated. This is not a failure. It is simply a moment to stop, breathe, and remember that You can renew what we cannot repair by effort alone. Paul writes, “Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” Second Corinthians 4:16 gives hope to anyone who feels tired, because renewal is God's work within us. Jesus, renew the person working in Australia, the family navigating change in China, the people building their lives in Hong Kong, the student or worker in Ghana, the parent in Nigeria, and the person in Rwanda who needs fresh perseverance today. Lord, renew what has become tired. Give strength to the body, clarity to the mind and steadiness to the heart. Where discouragement has whispered that nothing will change, let the presence of Jesus answer with grace. We are not asking for a life without difficulty; we are asking for renewed strength to walk faithfully through it. Holy Spirit, breathe fresh life into us. Help us take the next right step instead of staring at everything at once. Jesus, You know our limits, and You are not disappointed by them. Teach us to receive help, to rest when we need to rest, and to continue when it is time to continue. We place the unfinished work into Your hands. Renew us in the hidden places. Give us enough strength for this moment, enough grace for this afternoon, and enough hope to keep moving with You. Amen. Blessing May Jesus renew your strength today. May the Holy Spirit breathe fresh courage into you, and may you find grace for the next step rather than carrying the whole journey at once.

View the article at RENEW.org -- https://renew.org/review-the-desecration-of-man/ Renew Review of Carl Trueman's ‘The Desecration of Man' Using an analogy of sentient inflatables denying the existence of air pumps, the script summarizes Carl Truman's book The Desecration of Man and its thesis. Building on themes from The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, Truman argues that without God nothing remains sacred, and attempts at self-deification produce a culture defined by transgressing limits and boundaries. The episode highlights Truman's explanation for alliances among Western radicals and disparate causes as a shared project of overthrowing what prior generations considered authoritative or holy, and it emphasizes his chapter on sex, where sex becomes central to identity while being stripped of sacred limits, reducing people to objects. Truman's proposed remedy is consecration through robust Christian belief, worship, and practice. 00:00 Sentient Inflatables Setup 01:11 Life Without Air Pumps 02:29 Truman and His Big Idea 03:57 Death of God Thesis 06:35 Desecration Through Transgression 07:42 Why Strange Alliances Form 09:33 Sex and Self Objectification 11:15 Consecration as the Remedy 12:09 Final Recommendation Download the free RENEW.org App - https://renew.org/renew-app/  Visit RENEW: https://renew.org/   Check out the following from RENEW.org: Events: https://renew.org/resources/events/ Videos: https://renew.org/media/videos/ Podcasts: https://renew.org/media/podcasts/ Articles: https://renew.org/articles/ Free eBooks: https://renew.org/resources/free-ebooks/ Books: https://renew.org/resources/books/ Audiobooks: https://renew.org/resources/audiobooks/ Sermon Tools: https://renew.org/resources/sermon-tools/ Job Board: https://jobs.renew.org/ Renew University: https://renewuniversity.org/ Real Life Theology Conversations: https://renew.org/rltc/ Sign up for our newsletter: https://renew.org/resources/newsletter-sign-up/

Hi sweet soul... I don't know what you've been carrying today, but whatever it is, you don't have to carry it into tonight. Think of this meditation as a gentle exhale... a chance to release what's heavy and make space for rest, renewal, and a brand new tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

Is it enough simply to believe the right things about Jesus? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to the book of James to confront the danger of a faith that exists only in words or intellectual agreement.James declares that “faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” Salvation is by faith alone, but genuine saving faith does not remain alone—it bears fruit. When Christ saves us, He changes us so profoundly that Jesus describes salvation as being born again.Dr. Youssef points to one of Scripture's most sobering truths: even the demons believe in God and shudder. Knowing Biblical doctrine is not the same as trusting Christ as Savior and submitting to Him as Lord. Real faith goes beyond information—it changes the direction of our lives.So what does saving faith look like? It denies self, steps out in obedience, loves others, seeks to please God, and increasingly trusts Him in everyday life. This faith is not something we manufacture; it is a gift of God's grace that transforms those who receive it.Whether you are questioning the genuineness of your faith or struggling to live out your faith consistently, this devotional calls you to draw near to Christ, trust Him fully, and ask Him to produce the fruit of living faith in your life.Pray with me.Jesus, I want You to be not only my Savior but the Lord of my life. Renew my faith where it has grown stale. Thank You for empowering me to obey You, even when it feels impossible. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

If you're a woman and you're doing the work — therapy, coaching, reading everything you can get your hands on — and you're still white-knuckling it alone most days of the week, this episode is for you. I talk about why healing from betrayal trauma was never going to happen in one hour a week, including from my own experience, and about a pattern I see constantly: how much of our time, money, and energy goes toward his healing while ours quietly gets put on the back burner. Then I introduce Reclaiming You, the group program built to put your healing first — with community and high-touch support to get you through the hardest days. ⁠Click here to learn more⁠.Enjoyed This Episode?If this conversation resonated with you, here are three ways you can support the show:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a Review

What is “the machine,” and how is technology reshaping our culture, identity, and faith? Explore more Christian insights on technology: https://renew.org/a-jesus-centered-approach-to-technology/ In this RENEW Review, we examine Paul Kingsnorth's Against the Machine and its warning that modern culture has traded human roots for efficiency, control, and technological power. Kingsnorth argues that healthy societies once shared a past, a people, a place, and a prayer. Today, he says, those roots have been replaced by science, the self, sex, and the screen. The review explores his idea of the “great unsettling,” his comparison of modern technology to a system that reshapes humanity, and his provocative claim that artificial intelligence may be demonic. It also offers an important Christian counterpoint: technology can become an idol, but human creativity and innovation remain God-given gifts. Instead of embracing naïve optimism or anxious paranoia, Christians need wisdom, discernment, and a healthy middle ground.

Your view of God shapes your praise—and your praise reveals your view of God. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef invites believers to consider what their worship says about how they see their heavenly Father.When you know God as loving, patient, forgiving, attentive, and faithful, praise begins to overflow naturally. Gratitude for salvation fuels worship. Confidence in God's care strengthens faith. And the more deeply you believe that He is working for your eternal good, the more wholehearted your praise becomes.God's greatness can leave us speechless with awe, yet that same greatness makes worship essential. Praise brings us into a fuller recognition of who God is and leads us to bow before Him in humility—not out of fear, but out of reverence, love, and surrender.Dr. Youssef also reminds us that worship is rooted in recognizing God's worth. How much do you value who He is? How deeply do you treasure what He has done for you? How fully do you rely on His promises? This devotional will help you examine your heart and grow in a life of praise that reflects the true greatness of God.Join me in prayer.Heavenly Father, You are infinitely good. You are compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love. Renew my mind to remember who You are and show me who I am as Your child. I want to see You rightly, that I may praise You rightly. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

What if you didn't need to know what comes next?In this episode of Friends With God, Joe Longo explores what it means to trust God when life feels uncertain, the answers aren't clear, and you can't see the whole path ahead.Using Proverbs 3:5–6 and Jesus' teaching about our “daily bread,” Joe shares a simple shift: instead of constantly asking, “God, what am I supposed to do with my life?” maybe the prayer becomes, “God, show me my next step.”We'll talk about trusting God instead of leaning entirely on our own understanding, staying present when life feels uncomfortable, renewing our minds through prayer and meditation, and learning to receive what we need for today instead of demanding a five-year plan.You don't need the whole staircase. You don't need five years' worth of bread.You need today.And maybe faith is trusting that God will meet you there.

Psalm 51:1-4, 7-12 NLT"Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.  For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night. Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just. … Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me - now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you."David longs to not feel stained or dirty or guilty or broken or disloyal or isolated any longer. We all know these feelings much too well.Reflect on David's understanding of how absolute the removal of any trace of sin God can bring. Like it never happened. David talks about how his rebellion haunts him day and night.Is there sin in your past, or even currently, that haunts you day and night?Listen again to what David asks of God in this passage from the Message bible:God, give grace! Scrub away my guilt,I know how bad I've been; my sins are staring me down.You've seen it all, seen the full extent of my evil.Soak me in your laundry and I'll come out clean, scrub me and I'll have a snow-white life.Set these once-broken bones to dancing.Don't look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health.God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails!It is likely that whatever the sin that haunts you day or night is not as drastic as the affair and murder that David carries. In confessing and asking forgiveness we are talking to the same God that David did in this passage. We know that God's forgiveness is as absolute then as it is now. God's grace never runs out. His mercy never ends. His love never quits. Can you offer the same grace to yourself that God gives? He promises a clean heart, a loyal spirit, joy of the salvation given to us.Pray with me: “O God, thank You for Your mercy, Your unfailing love, Your removal of guilt and Your cleansing of stains. Thank You for Your restoration, but most of all, thank You for Your presence in my life. As above, so below.” - Amen

Another day is upon us. It's been a busy few weeks in the world of Geeky Stoics. Last week, I traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, to appear on the Jeremy Boreing Show for a wide-ranging conversation on how to save the West….a discourse I am honored to be part of. It's weird to me that this Substack has allowed me to enter into such discussions. Very grateful. Before heading to Nashville, Boreing posted something that I felt compelled to React to: a monologue about myth and the heart of man. Stories anchor our hearts and, frankly, civilization, when storms inevitably arrive.Without a good story — we often don't know what to do with misfortune, loss, pain and defeat. We don't have any basis on which to deny temptation, decline power, or walk away from ugly situations. Story is the key. Check out the video above for more. We are hosting another retreat for Geeky Stoics!We'll return to Magnalia Homestead in April 2027, with 18 spots available for members of the Geeky Stoics community. 3 days, 3 nights — dedicated to reading, community, and conversation. Renew your mind, make friends, and read a book. Registration is below. It is ticketed at $800 (lodging and meals included). $200 secures your spot; you can make the final payments in installments if that's helpful for budgeting to attend. New on YouTube this week: Zelda!!!!!Thanks for reading Geeky Stoics! This post is public so feel free to share it. This is a public episode.

Book Review: 'Practicing the Way' by John Mark Comer - Transforming Discipleship in the Church In this Renew Review, we explore John Mark Comer's book 'Practicing the Way: Be With Jesus, Become Like Jesus, Do as He Did.' This book is the cornerstone of Comer's ministry, aimed at making discipleship central in churches. We dive into the three core goals of being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did, and discuss practical insights and sage advice drawn from Comer's 20 years of ministry experience. The review highlights the practical, realistic, and theologically sound nature of the book, along with its comprehensive approach to spiritual growth. However, it points out a notable omission: the integration of evangelism into the discipleship and spiritual formation process. This episode provides a thorough overview of how this book can serve as a valuable resource for individual Christians and church communities.   Download the free RENEW.org App - https://renew.org/renew-app/  Visit RENEW: https://renew.org/   Check out the following from RENEW.org: Events: https://renew.org/resources/events/ Videos: https://renew.org/media/videos/ Podcasts: https://renew.org/media/podcasts/ Articles: https://renew.org/articles/ Free eBooks: https://renew.org/resources/free-ebooks/ Books: https://renew.org/resources/books/ Audiobooks: https://renew.org/resources/audiobooks/ Sermon Tools: https://renew.org/resources/sermon-tools/ Job Board: https://jobs.renew.org/ Renew University: https://renewuniversity.org/ Real Life Theology Conversations: https://renew.org/rltc/ Sign up for our newsletter: https://renew.org/resources/newsletter-sign-up/

What is shaping your reality right now?Before we can renew our minds, we first have to become aware of what has been shaping them.In this episode of Friends With God, Joe Longo explores the thoughts, stories, content, fears, and beliefs we repeatedly consume and how they influence the way we experience our lives.Inspired by Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” Joe asks four simple questions:What am I consuming?What am I thinking repeatedly?What am I believing simply because I've thought it for so long?And ultimately, does this bring me closer to God or further into fear?Joe also shares a personal realization about gratitude. Instead of constantly waiting for life to get better, what happens when we recognize how much goodness is already here?Gratitude doesn't mean pretending life isn't difficult. It means becoming aware of what is still good, taking the next step in front of us, and allowing God to begin renewing us from within.JOIN OUR FALL COMMUNITYBeginning October 5, our Monday Night Mastermind community will move through three movements together: RENEW.

From Stuck To Sent | The Todd Coconato Show Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give There comes a point when you have to stop circling the same mountain and start moving toward what God has called you to do. Too many people are stuck, not because they don't have a calling, but because fear, doubt, disappointment, comfort, and the opinions of others have convinced them they can't move forward. In this episode of The Todd Coconato Show, we're talking about how to break the mindset that keeps you stuck and step into a "sent" mentality. God didn't create you merely to survive, maintain, and play it safe. He created you with purpose, gifts, an assignment, and a reason for being here. Romans 12:2 tells us to be "transformed by the renewing of your mind." Sometimes the biggest thing standing between where you are and where God is calling you isn't your circumstances. It's the stronghold in your thinking that says you can't, you're not ready, you've missed your opportunity, or your past has disqualified you. It's time to break agreement with those lies. Renew your mind. Get your confidence back. Take the next step. You don't have to have the entire road figured out. You just have to be willing to obey God with the step that's in front of you. You were never called to stay stuck. It's time to go from STUCK to SENT.  

Some lives can seem beyond hope. But no one is beyond the reach of God.Mary West's powerful story shows just how dramatically God can transform a life. Her early years were marked by deep wounds, destructive relationships, addiction, and choices that took her farther and farther down a painful path. At times, her life seemed headed for destruction. But God stepped in.As Mary surrendered her life to Christ, He broke the grip of addiction, began healing wounds that had shaped her for years, renewed her mind, and taught her how to walk in freedom and obedience. Even through later seasons of disappointment and hurt, Mary learned to trust God and allow Him to use what she had been through to bring hope to others.Today, her life is a testimony that our past does not have to determine our future—and we should never put a period where God is still writing the story.Listen and discover how to:Hold onto hope when someone you love seems beyond reach.Find freedom from destructive patterns and the pain of the past.Renew your mind and build your life on the truth of God's Word.Walk in obedience even when your circumstances don't change immediately.Move through hurt and disappointment without allowing bitterness to take root.Trust God to redeem your past and use your story for His purposes.If you're praying for someone who seems too far gone—or wondering whether God can redeem the broken places in your own life—Mary's story will encourage you to keep praying, keep believing, and never give up hope. God is still writing the story.

In Amos chapter 6, God confronts Israel for a dangerous kind of spiritual complacency. The nation was prosperous, comfortable, and confident—but spiritually unprepared for what was coming. In this episode of God Has Spoken, we examine Amos' warning to those who were “at ease in Zion” and consider how comfort, prosperity, and false security can quietly cause us to stop listening to God.

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Pastor Chris Heller   We're looking forward to this Sunday as we launch our fall sermon series “Sound Doctrine”, a journey through the book of 1 Timothy. Together, we'll explore God's blueprint for a healthy church, what we at Renew believe, why we believe it, and our response as a result of it.   While doctrine can sometimes feel like a heavy topic, don't let the title scare you! We'll approach these important truths through the lens of grace, asking not only what a healthy church should believe, but what it looks like when we live those beliefs out together. And because growing in faith is a process, we'll be reminded to extend grace—to ourselves and to one another—as God continues His work of shaping and maturing each of us.

September 5, 2026Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Christy Kenaston to discuss how to use the power of the Word to renew our minds and stabilize our hearts.Whether at home or abroad we women often face a battle in our minds. There are days when thoughts fight against our very soul and threaten to undo our faith and our confidence in Christ. But the Word of God is powerful! It can transform our minds and cut through confusing lies.“Your word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” —Psalm 119:11An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/the-power-of-the-word-of-god-to-renew-our-minds/

If you're rebuilding trust after infidelity, you've probably noticed something strange: small disagreements can escalate way faster and way bigger than the topic seems to deserve. A dish in the sink. A short text back. Being fifteen minutes late.In this episode, we talk about why that happens — and it's not because either of you is being dramatic. After betrayal, your nervous system starts running everyday moments through a threat filter, not just an annoyance filter. That means ordinary conflict can carry real weight underneath it: questions about safety, about control, and about repair work that hasn't fully landed yet.Enjoyed This Episode?If this conversation resonated with you, here are three ways you can support the show:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a Review

Want the playbook, not just the conversation? Subscribe for deep-dive, actionable breakdowns from every episode at unchurned.substack.com.Most CS and sales teams have been told to "be more strategic." Few have been shown how.Josh Schachter talks with customer discovery expert Bob London about what it actually takes to move a team above the line. Bob gets tactical fast: the inverted-pyramid structure that works for a 30-minute discovery call or a 5-minute QBR opener, the setup and board-level question that disarms and differentiates in the first few minutes, and the competitor question that CS leaders tell him is the best churn-risk signal they have.He's also honest about the hard part. Methodologies don't adopt themselves, the ROI case rests on catching a handful of surprise churns, and behavior change only shows up if you track it: one-on-ones, keyword tracking, and AI scoring of real call transcripts before and after.---What You'll Learn- Why "be more strategic" is a directive without a path, and what to say to your team instead- How to structure a conversation as an inverted pyramid- Why "if your renewal were tomorrow, would you renew?" puts customers on the spot and gets you nothing- The "head turner" follow-up that surfaces the gap between what customers have and what they're curious about- How to spot the trigger words that make a question feel like it's about the customer's world- What leaders have to do after the workshop for any of it to take hold- A realistic way to think about ROI when the outcome is prevented surprise churn- How AI call scoring can measure conversation quality before and after training---Timestamps0:00 - Preview & Intro1:48 - Meet Bob London 2:28 - Why "be more strategic" is pressure with no path5:18 - The mindset shift leaders have to make first7:45 - The inverted pyramid and the board question that changes the conversation14:52 - Forget "would you renew?"

Are you tired of white-knuckling your way through every hardship, hoping you can just push through on your own strength? If you've felt like resilience means faking it until you make it, this conversation is for you.In this episode of Renew, Pastor Gina and Meghen Haggard dig into what true resilience looks like from a biblical perspective. They talk through the difference between the world's version of resilience (grit, hustle, bootstraps) and the resilience the Holy Spirit produces in us through connection to Him. They cover why resilience is not automatic, the role of honesty and vulnerability in healing, and why the right people in your life matter more than we often admit.Topics covered:Why resilience takes intentionality, not just timeThe difference between worldly resilience and Spirit-produced resilienceHow suppressing pain shows up in our bodiesWhy connection and community are not optionalThe fruit of the Spirit as evidence of true resilienceKey passages referenced:Psalm 1:32 Corinthians 4:8-9Galatians 5:22-23If this conversation resonated with you and you want to get connected at Opendoor, text RENEW to 45000.Musicbed SyncID: MB016VLFYGCYRHN
