It takes time and serious exposure to the Word of God to change the way we think. It also requires a new skill: the ability to listen to the Holy Spirit. We usually come to Christ with some pretty deep programming. Old values, perspectives and attitudes don't just fall away overnight. In fact, some appear to remain with us the rest of our lives and become familiar enemies we have to diligently put aside over and over again. One such enemy which affects us all in one way or another is pride. It clouds our thinking, Paul says, like alcohol dulls the mind of someone who's drunk. It distorts the way we see ourselves and others, and as we'll observe today, one of the most terrible things it does Is to prevent believers from fulfilling God's call on their lives. The way to escape, Paul says, is to let the Holy Spirit reprogram the way we think. He wants to teach us true humility. And that's why in these verses Paul shows us new ways of thinking that free us to discover and fulfill our call.

In this week's message, Pastor Wayne reminds us that our thoughts become beliefs, our beliefs become actions, and our actions determine the direction of our lives—so renewing the mind is essential to living free. Filter what you think, speak what God says, and replace years of wrong thinking with truth that transforms.

Pastor John concludes this 4 part series on renewing the mind.

Pastor John teaches part 3 out of 4 tonight.

Psalm 119

We continue this week with how God Breathed His Own Word, that He wrote the Bible and not man, with man being inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what he heard in his heart to write. How it is critical to think like God thinks, not like we used to carnally think. How God does not change our minds, but waits for us to make the decision to give our life to Him, and receive His Son as Savior and Lord, before renewing our spirit so that we become born again, forever a new creation with the old having been buried with Christ (Romans 6:4). We also talk about using God's Word for good purposes including conviction of sin and correction. This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Corinthians 2:16.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Pastor John continues with part 2 of 4 in this series.

Some of the biggest battles we face are not fought with outward weapons, but in our mind. In a continuation of our Formation series, this week Dave Mann teaches on the power of renewing the mind - showing how beliefs shape thinking, feelings and behaviour. Through Scripture, personal testimony and practical illustrations, this message explores mental strongholds, trauma, temptation, forgiveness and freedom — reminding us that healing comes as we align our lives with God's truth, keep walking in His Word, and learn to take every thought captive.

Pastor John begins a new series on renewing our minds with the word of God.

In this spiritually enriching episode, John Paledino delves into the profound concept of renewing the mind through God's Word, addressing how the Bible serves as a mirror reflecting our true identity in Christ. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing our covenant with God, which leads to a victorious and fulfilling life. As John leads the audience through various scriptures, he highlights the necessity of being committed to the teachings of Christ and explains how this commitment transforms believers into new creations.Central to the discussion is the notion of the spiritual battle within the mind and the strategies needed to conquer negative thoughts. John provides insights into building spiritual "strongholds" through constant engagement with the scriptures and shares personal anecdotes and biblical stories to illustrate how faith can overpower fear and anxiety. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the Bible, John explains how believers can break free from the chains of past experiences and align their thoughts with the truth of the Word through faith. This episode is a deep dive into spirituality, offering guidance on harnessing the true power of faith for a life of purpose and spiritual clarity.Key Takeaways:The Word of God is a mirror reflecting our true identity as new creations in Christ.Developing a consistent and sincere relationship with the scriptures is crucial for spiritual growth.Renewing the mind involves breaking old thought patterns and building new mental pathways through faith.John emphasizes the importance of understanding and living by the covenant with God for a fulfilling life.Spiritual warfare primarily occurs in the mind, requiring believers to captivate every thought and align it with the knowledge of God.Notable Quotes:"The word of God is showing you who you are…who He has made you to be.""You have to make new pathways, and the only way to make new pathways is to have new thoughts.""Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.""Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, there's freedom.""We are in covenant with Almighty God, the creator of the universe."Resources:John Paledino's Sermons (URL not provided in the transcript)Scriptures Referenced: 2 Corinthians 3 & 10, Romans 12, Ephesians 6, 1 Samuel 17, Hebrews 4:12, John 6:63, Colossians 1, 3 John 2Embark on this enlightening journey by listening to the full episode to gain deeper insights and practical advice on strengthening your spiritual walk. Stay tuned for more transformative teachings and discussions that inspire personal and spiritual growth.

Breakout session with Vicki Langner.

This program focuses on how we can unknowingly be held captive to deception and lies of the devil based on our lack of studying and walking in the Truth of the Word of God. Especially in times such as these, it is so important that we are able to know that a believer can speak to a situation to force it to line up with how it should be based on the Word of God. If the believer still thinks the way he or she used to think, then they continue to live with fear and anxiety, believing that the situation controls them instead of the situation being controlled by their declarations of God over the situation.This program covers the following scriptures from the Amplified Classic version: John 8:32, John 8:36, John 8:44, Romans 8:2, Proverbs 14:12, Proverbs 15:15, Isaiah 55:8-9, Proverbs 3:5-6, Proverbs 12:5, 1 Corinthians 2:16.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Most Christians know they're supposed to renew their minds.But very few have ever been shown how.In this powerful guided episode of the Freedom Foundations Series, Shawn walks through the practical process of leading the wounded places of your heart out of what feels true and into the truth of the Gospel.This isn't positive thinking.This isn't behavior management.This is Christ-centered inner leadership.You'll discover why so many men stay stuck in cycles of shame and relapse, why simply knowing Bible verses often isn't enough, and how God's truth becomes transformational when it's spoken directly into the wounds that first believed a lie.Through the teaching and bonus guided exercise, you'll learn how to:• Lead your heart with empathy instead of condemnation• Affirm your God-given identity instead of your failures• Apply the Gospel to specific wounds and lies• Cast a vision for the man God is calling you to become• Separate what feels true from what is eternally trueIf you've ever thought:"I know the truth... but I don't feel it,"this episode is for you.My passion is helping Christian men move beyond managing porn and into a life of clarity, confidence, maturity, and real freedom.Because lasting transformation doesn't happen by trying harder.It happens when the truth of Christ takes root in a heart that has learned to receive it.

Renewing the Mind (Ephesians 4:17-24) Pastor Clint Hamilton

We transformed by the renewing of our mind

Have you ever felt stuck in the same thoughts, fears, lies, or patterns no matter how hard you try to move forward?The Bible tells us that transformation begins with the renewing of the mind. But what does that actually mean when you are overwhelmed, overthinking, anxious, discouraged, or tired of living from the same old mindset?In this message, we'll look at how God renews the way we think, how truth breaks the power of lies, and how the Holy Spirit leads us into freedom from the inside out. You don't have to stay trapped in your thoughts. There is a better way to think, live, and follow Jesus.Notes can be found in the YouVersion app under Events.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore how we can be disciplined, prayerful, and grounded in Scripture, yet still feel pulled back by patterns we don't understand. We talk about hidden agreements—the quiet beliefs we've mistaken for reality—that shape how we respond, what we expect, and what we believe is possible with God. We share personal stories about wrestling with beliefs around control, credibility, appearance, and always needing to be “okay,” and we unpack how these internal agreements can operate unnoticed until we bring them into the light. Through Scriptures like Proverbs 23:7, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and Psalm 139:23–24, we talk about renewing the mind with honesty, grace, and truth.We also offer a simple practice we've found powerful for spiritual growth and inner healing: when a repeated struggle shows up, ask, “What would I have to believe for this to make sense?” Then bring that belief before God and ask if it aligns with His truth. We share how uncovering these deeper beliefs can loosen old patterns and open space for freedom, peace, and trust. If you've ever felt stuck and couldn't explain why, this conversation will help you recognize what may be operating beneath the surface and give you a practical starting point for change.If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.CLICK HERE to donate to our ministry and support this podcast.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit with Psalm 77, a passage that begins exactly where many of us have been—awake at 2 a.m., exhausted, anxious, and wondering if God has gone quiet. As we walk through the psalm together, we make space for its honest questions without shaming them or building a whole theology from a moment of pain. We talk about how the psalm models a practical pattern for renewing the mind: naming distress, examining the conclusions our thoughts are drawing, remembering what God has done, and meditating on who God is.The turning point comes with the simple decision, “I will remember.” We discuss how attention and agency shape our spiritual and emotional lives, and why renewing the mind isn't pretending everything is fine. Christina shares from her breast cancer journey, where honesty and the choice to focus on life-giving truth meet in real time. We also explore the psalm's shift from “I” language to “You,” the powerful image of God's unseen footprints in the Red Sea, and the gentle reminder that the God who commands storms also shepherds His people with care.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

In this episode, Heather Creekmore continues the “Waiting for Weight Loss” series and dives deep into the challenge of getting out of your own head when it comes to body image struggles. Heather Creekmore shares a real, recent experience from her 20th wedding anniversary trip, revealing how old patterns of comparison, insecurity, and the “body image contest” can still crop up—even after years of working through these issues. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: A personal story of sitting by the pool and fighting the urge to compare and compete with other women. The realization that so much of our body image struggle happens in our minds, not just in our bodies. Encouragement to recognize and address underlying heart issues and how idolatry of body image can take hold. The importance of renewing your mind and aligning your thoughts with what God says about you—not repeating old, false narratives. Practical advice on examining your thought life, identifying lies, and experiencing true freedom in your relationship with your body. Key Takeaways: You’re not alone if you struggle with comparison and feeling measured against others—it’s a common experience. Healing and lasting freedom come from dealing with the roots in your heart and mind, not just changing your appearance. Most of the hurtful thoughts you have about your body may not even be true—and you don’t have to keep believing them. Real transformation happens in community, and it’s okay (even necessary!) to get help, find support, and renew your thinking. Call to Action: Ready to take the next step toward body image freedom?

In this message from Ephesians 4:17–32, Pastor Jim shifts from identity to behavior, showing how a transformed life in Christ leads to transformed actions. He contrasts the “old self,” marked by futility, selfishness, and deceitful desires, with the “new self,” rooted in truth, awareness, and life in Jesus. The old way of living promises satisfaction but ultimately leads to emptiness, while the new way invites believers to actively put off harmful patterns and put on Christlike character through the renewal of the mind. This renewal is both a spiritual and intentional process, requiring daily decisions to reject falsehood and embrace truth. As believers grow in this new identity, their lives begin to reflect generosity, honesty, encouragement, and compassion. Pastor Jim emphasizes that this transformation is not just personal but communal. The new self builds up the body of Christ through truthful speech, generous action, and grace-filled words that strengthen others. Ultimately, this passage calls believers to live with intentional awareness, choosing obedience over old habits and displaying the character of Jesus in everyday life.

Ready to transition from a self-centered life to a Christ-centered one? Daniel empowers viewers with step-by-step guidance grounded in Romans 12:2, emphasizing the renewal of the mind.

The goal of every kingdom is to expand, and the ultimate objective of every kingdom is to have dominion over territory. When it comes to the Kingdom of God, how does it expand? How does it attain dominion? In today's sermon, Pastor Sam Cabra examines how the Kingdom of God always expands through faith. God's dominion is already established, but we have to move past the "hope" of His kingdom coming, and into the KNOWING that His kingdom is here. This message will help us learn that faith doesn't go against reason; it goes beyond it. We bless you as today's message inspires and equips you to help expand the Kingdom of God!Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!You can follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

Send a textWhat if the voice we trust to keep us “on track” is actually the one stealing our peace? In this episode, we talk honestly about the inner critic that comments on aging, productivity, and performance—and how shame quietly shapes our choices. We name the ways it shows up: skipping church because clothes feel tight, hiding from friends because we feel behind, and calling it “motivation” when it's really condemnation.Together, we trace where that voice learned its script—culture that profits from insecurity, systems that reward performance, and even church spaces that confuse holiness with harshness. Then we hold those messages up to Scripture and find something radically different: no condemnation, compassion that leads, and an identity rooted not in roles but in being chosen, adopted, and loved. We get practical about renewing the mind, why self-hatred never produces real change, and how to build daily rhythms that turn down self-critique and turn up God's perspective. This is an invitation, not pressure—a call to abide rather than perform. If you're tired of trying harder, this conversation offers a kinder way forward and a steadier center to live from.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Romans 12:2

Throughout Scripture, Jesus speaks more about the Kingdom of God than any other topic. The more Jesus speaks about something, the more likely that we need to renew our minds about that thing! Today, Pastor Sam Cabra explains what a kingdom is and what it is not. We are citizens of another world; one that has different laws and mindsets. The more we can adjust ourselves to our true citizenship, the more we will see Heaven invade our families, jobs, and lives.Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!You can follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

Allowing God to transform you by changing the way you think.

Has God ever seemed silent (especially in moments when you need Him the most)? When the promises over our lives are delayed, does our trust in God waiver? Today Pastor Sam Cabra spends time explaining how God will often speak to us through revelation, not through information. We find that in the Kingdom of God, things rarely move "from A to B"; in fact, they often seem to move in the opposite direction that we are anticipating! Unless we understand the goodness of God's nature, our lenses of understanding can become distorted. Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii!  To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

Have you ever devoted a portion to your life to something, only to find out that God had different plans for you? Have those seasons ever left you feeling confused or wondering if you wasted your time? In today's sermon, Pastor Sam Cabra talks about God's infinite wisdom and His plans for your life. God never wastes moments, and we find that God often hides invaluable lessons in seasons that seem "wasted" or "insignificant." God is a God of process, and many times we forget that He is more interested in our development than our comfort! Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

Send a textWhat if taking your thoughts captive isn't just biblical wisdom—but something that actually changes your brain?In this episode, Patricia Holbrook is joined by Dr. Lee Warren, neurosurgeon, pastor, and author of The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, to explore the powerful intersection of faith, neuroscience, and emotional healing.Dr. Warren explains how repeated thoughts shape the brain over time—and why anxiety, fear, grief, and discouragement can become mental ruts. Together, they unpack what Scripture means when it calls us to take every thought captive, and how intentionally replacing lies with truth can lead to real transformation.If you're familiar with Patricia's book Twelve Inches, you'll recognize this theme immediately: the gap between what we know about God and how we feel and live it out. This episode brings scientific clarity to that spiritual bridge, showing why knowing the truth doesn't always translate into feeling free—and how that can change.

Biblical renewing of the mind is often a process. While we tend to search for correct facts and information, the process of renewing the mind is as much about HOW we think as it is WHAT we think. Continuing with our current series, Pastor Sam Cabra addresses how believers need to interpret the world around us. Is the world getting worse and worse? Should we fear wars and rumors of war? How does the Bride of Christ operate with a renewed mind in regard to all these things? We hope today's sermon inspires you with the hope and peace of God!Thank you for partnering with Reunion Hawaii! To GIVE online, please visit our website at www.reunionhawaii.comMake sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to this podcast!You can follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/reunionhawaii@reunionhawaii

Struggling with controlling your thoughts? The battle for the Christian life is the battle for the Christian mind. In this episode, we dive deep into Romans 12:1-2 as host Myrna Young engages in a heartfelt conversation with Pamela Benner, author of "To Touch One Heart, Part One." Pamela shares her deeply personal journey from trauma and loss to healing and redemption. Drawing from her book, she likens her life to a tapestry woven with both beautiful and painful threads, underlining the theme of trusting God's design even when it isn't clear. The discussion centers around how Pamela managed to revisit painful past moments, connect them like dots on a tapestry, and find meaning and healing in what once seemed chaotic.Timestamp Summary0:00 Touching Hearts Through Life's Tapestry of Trauma and Healing1:52 Healing Through Forgiveness and Understanding Life's Tapestry10:10 Healing Through Writing and Overcoming Personal Struggles12:23 Healing Childhood Trauma Through Faith and Personal Growth14:33 Struggles With Religion, Family Expectations, and Childhood Trauma17:40 Healing Through Writing and Rediscovering Faith27:28 Healing Childhood Trauma Through Writing and Sharing StoriesResources *   Pamela Benner's Book: [To Touch One Heart, Part One] https://pamelabenner.com/)*   Purchase on [Amazon] https://www.amazon.com/Touch-One-Heart-Pamela-Benner/dp/B0G4878GC9 Partner with the Podcast Your brand is featured through:• A CEO or expert interview that positions you as a thought leader• Host-read pre-roll and mid-roll ads woven naturally into other episodes• And long-term visibility across our full media ecosystemTo explore a brand partnership, visit myhelps.us/partner.See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

In this episode, I sit down with neurosurgeon and author Dr. Lee Warren to talk about how our thoughts shape our brains and, over time, our lives. Lee draws from neuroscience, Scripture, and his own story, serving as an Army surgeon, living with PTSD, and walking through the loss of a child, to help make sense of why so many of us feel stuck in anxiety, fear, or reactivity. We talk about what Lee calls “self-brain surgery,” the practice of learning to think about our thoughts instead of being ruled by them. We explore the difference between the mind and the brain, why most of our daily thoughts aren't actually true, how trauma rewires us, and how healing can too. We also talk about gratitude, attention, habits, and spiritual warfare and why slowing down and responding with intention matters more than trying to fix everything at once. This conversation is about building resilience, telling the truth about what's happening inside us, and finding a more hopeful way forward. W. Lee Warren, MD, is a neurosurgeon, an award-winning author, an Iraq War veteran, and the host of The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. He teaches the art of connecting neuroscience, faith, and daily practices for leading a healthier, better, and happier life. www.DrLeeWarren.comLee's Book:The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain SurgeryLee's Recommendation:Gradually Then SuddenlyConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.
