Podcasts about Romans 12

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with renowned neurosurgeon, author, and speaker Dr. Lee Warren to explore the intersection of neuroscience, faith, trauma, and transformation. Drawing from his experiences as a combat neurosurgeon during the Iraq War, surviving PTSD, and grieving the loss of his 19-year-old son, Mitch, Dr. Warren shares how those painful seasons led him to discover the powerful connection between intentional thinking, faith, and neuroplasticity. The conversation explores the difference between the mind and the brain, how thoughts shape the body and behavior, and why modern neuroscience increasingly supports biblical principles about renewing the mind. Sathiya and Dr. Warren also discuss addiction recovery, habit formation, resilience through suffering, the importance of community and brotherhood, and Dr. Warren's concept of “self-brain surgery” — the process of intentionally rewiring the brain through thought patterns, faith, and action. Throughout the episode, they reflect on scriptures including Romans 12, Philippians 4, Romans 5, and Psalm 103, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace hope, pursue healing, and recognize their God-given capacity for growth and transformation through adversity.

In this message on Romans 12:14–21, Pastor Ulysses continues to challenge us to genuinely live out our faith daily as believers. We discover what it looks like to pursue true harmony by leveling our pride, sharing the same mind, and choosing to absorb hurt rather than letting evil win twice.

20 Proverbs 5-6; 05 Deuteronomy 28-31; 19 Psalms 11-17; 45 Romans 12-16; 1 Corinthians 1

Some mornings, coffee isn't enough. A few years ago, after a late night and an early morning, I sat down at breakfast with friends and announced, “Listen . . . I'm barely functioning. If you have anything important to say, you're probably going to need to repeat it three times.” Honestly, exhaustion was only part of the problem. The truth is, human beings are forgetful. We miss things. We drift. We stop paying attention. Which is why repetition matters. Back in the 1800s, a psychologist named Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered that repetition helps move things into long-term memory. Apparently, hearing something repeatedly helps it stick (though I have my doubts it would work for a name like "Hermann Ebbinghaus"). Repetition helps us remember. God already knew that. In the New Testament, we find 100 passages that tell us what we should do for "one another." We should pray for one another, speak truth to one another, bear one another's burdens, and serve one another, just to name a few. If Ebbinghouse says three times is the charm, the Bible's 100 "one anothers" shows us that God doesn't want us to forget how to treat one another! And underneath all the “one another” passages is one central command holding everything together: love one another. Not sentimental love. Not easy love. Not “I'll love you when it's convenient” love. Romans 12 describes a love that is sincere, sacrificial, patient, generous, and deeply committed to other people.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to Romans 12, where Paul shows us what the Christian life should look like personally, within the family of God, and in the world. Because of the mercies of God, we are called to present our bodies as living sacrifices—not becoming less alive when we lay sin down, but becoming more alive in Christ as we worship Him with surrender.Romans 12 reminds us that the world is constantly trying to conform us from the outside in, but God transforms us from the inside out through the renewing of our minds. As we dwell on His Word, we begin to live differently: honoring one another, serving as one body, responding to the world with grace, and showing that true worship is not just what we sing, but what we surrender.

What happens when the Gospel gets inside a person? According to Romans 12, it changes everything. This sermon walks through how the mercies of God reshape our instincts, relationships, convictions, and responses to both the Church and the world around us. From spiritual gifts and Gospel Community to loving enemies and overcoming evil with good, this passage shows what transformed lives actually look like in everyday life.Five things you'll learn in this sermon:Why the Gospel doesn't merely improve people — it transforms them from the inside out.How spiritual gifts are meant to build up the Church rather than draw attention to ourselves.What genuine Christian love actually looks like in Gospel Community.Why Romans 12 calls Christians to resist being shaped by the spirit of the world.How followers of Jesus can absorb hostility without surrendering conviction or becoming hostile themselves.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

Date: Sunday, May 17, 2026Title: Gospel MinistryPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: Romans (Part 52)Passage: Romans 12:3-8

Romans 12 reminds us that we are not simply attendees, but members of one body, gifted by God to step in humbly and serve faithfully. Every role matters, every gift has purpose, and God uses our obedience to help people take steps toward Jesus. Whether welcoming guests, walking alongside others, or serving behind the scenes, every believer has a place in the body of Christ. As we faithfully use our gifts to welcome and walk alongside others with the love of Christ, the church is strengthened, people are cared for, and the gospel is put on display.

Why is it so hard to change? We change our clothes, schedules, plans, and opinions all the time… but changing the way we think, believe, and live can feel almost impossible. In Romans 12:1–2, the Apostle Paul shows us that real life change doesn't start with behavior modification—it starts with transformation from the inside out.

This week's sermon continues the series through the book of Romans, as Pastor Ulysses shares a message on Romans 12:3-8. In this passage, Paul uses the analogy of the body to teach about our place in the Body of Christ, and although he conveys this in just a few verses, there is much to learn about what this means for us as believers in the church. Today, Pastor Ulysses dives into this idea in his talk, explaining why we are essential to the Body of Christ, and the ways we may deceive ourselves into neglecting the important roles we are called to play.

Message from Nate Faires on May 17, 2026

This weekend we dove into two of the most memorized, most known, most powerful verses in all the Bible… Romans 12:1-2 tells us to "not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.”Let's be honest… The pattern of this world is pretty chaotic. It's not very hard to find bad news. Because of that it becomes easy as believers to live, not in response to the grace of God, but in reaction to the chaos of the world. When we constantly consume the chaos, we will conform to the chaos. It gets into our minds and soul and affects every part of our life. Yet Jesus, the Prince of Peace, walks into the middle of our chaos and offers relief. He urges us to live in reaction, not to chaos, but his mercy. These verses help us to better understand how what we consume shapes who we become, why chaos is constantly fighting for our attention, what it means to become a “living sacrifice.” Scripture urges us to take chaotic thoughts captive before they take us captive, and how can we allow Jesus to renew our minds and form us into people of peace. Tune into this week's message as we unpack this in a message called, “No Longer Conforming to Chaos.”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Pastor John preaches through the characteristics of genuine love we see in Romans 12:9-13.

20 Proverbs 31, 1; Exodus 39-40; 03 Leviticus 1-4; 19 Psalms 73-77; 45 Romans 12-16; 1 Corinthians 1

Kent Livingston teaches on Romans 12.

God gives specific gifts to every believer to build up the church and spread the gospel. Paul emphasizes that before we can effectively use our spiritual gifts, we must approach them with humility rather than pride. Christian humility means thinking of ourselves less, not thinking less of ourselves. This enables us to trust God more deeply and allows the body of Christ to function properly. We should measure our gifts according to our faith in God, not human standards. The church needs both diversity of gifts and unity in Christ, with every role being necessary for a healthy body. Through spiritual gifts, believers become active participants in God's kingdom work on earth.

Date: Sunday, May 10, 2026Title: A Renewed MindPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: Romans (Part 51)Passage: Romans 12:2

In Romans 12:1–5, Paul shows us the only reasonable response to the mercies of God: total surrender. Because Jesus gave all of Himself for us, we don't offer Him leftovers—we offer Him our bodies, our minds, and ourselves to His Church. The Christian life is not partial commitment with religious language sprinkled on top; your whole life is the offering.Five Things You'll LearnWhy Romans 12 begins with “therefore” and how it points back to eleven chapters of God's mercy.What it means to present your body as a “living sacrifice.”Why Christianity has no category for partially surrendered disciples.How God transforms us through the renewal of our minds.Why belonging to the Church is not optional for a life offered to Jesus.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.1.     When it comes to conflict/being mistreated, do you see yourself in any of the descriptions in the sermon: withdrawing, ghosting, “processing” with others, revving up the internal defense attorney? Share with the group if possible.2.     Is there anywhere in your life where you believe you are seeking resolution but might actually be seeking retribution? Or is there an example of that in your past?3.     If you are a Christian, do you ever find yourself feeling like the death of Jesus is not enough to do justice for this or that person's sins?4.     Do you believe that every wrong will be paid for, either by Jesus or the wrongdoer? If so, how does or should that impact the way you approach conflict and being wronged?5.     Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep… Is there anyone in your life, or the world out there, whose humanity you are narrowing down to a one-dimensional enemy?6.     Do you find the gospel creating space in your life to pursue forgiveness and reconciliation with others? How so/why or why not?

Title: Waking the Lazy Heart | The Hygiene of My Heart (Week 4)Are you feeling spiritually exhausted, or have you simply become spiritually stagnant? In Week 4 of our series, The Hygiene of My Heart, we diagnose a pathogen that often mimics "burnout" or "self-care" but is actually a dangerous spiritual brain fog: Sloth (Acedia). Using the Greek root hygies—meaning sound, healthy, and whole—we explore how laziness numbs the soul to the urgency of God's calling. We often fill our lives with "busy deceptions" like digital scrolling to act as a sedative for our hearts, masking the pain of stagnation so we don't feel our need for the Great Physician. In this video, you will discover:The "Acedia" Distinction: Why spiritual laziness is about a "don't care" attitude toward God, not just a lack of physical productivity. The Stagnant Swamp vs. The Living River: How to identify if your heart has lost its mission and become a breeding ground for inaction. The "Pilot Light" Principle: Why we need God to "shock" our hearts back into urgency and keep our spiritual fervor boiling. A Living Case Study: A tribute to the diligence of mothers, who see the "lion in the road" and find the zeal to move forward anyway. Big Idea: Laziness numbs the soul to the urgency of God's calling. Key Scripture: Romans 12:11; Proverbs 26:13 Daily Protocol:To fight this pathogen, we introduce Vitamin D (Diligence)—the divine energy that wakes up the soul.

This is a sermon preached by Dan Case at Maranatha Community Church Baltimore on 5/10/2026

This week, we continue our sermon series through the book of Romans as we cover the first two verses of chapter 12. In these verses, Paul makes an appeal to the Romans that they present themselves as a living sacrifice, but what does that mean for us? How can we interpret this message to inform how we walk out our faith? In today's talk, Pastor Ulysses helps bring some clarity to this important calling, showing us how it ties to what Paul shared in the earlier chapters, and unpacking how Paul explained we can accomplish this in our lives: By rejecting conformity with the world and allowing our minds to be transformed by the Word of God.

The tendency to operate at peak stupidity is a common human experience, especially in relation to God's unfathomable knowledge and wisdom, and scripture confirms this, emphasizing the need for transformation and the avoidance of conformity with the world.^^^^^^^In Christ.

3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.1.     Have you ever found it hard to embrace a church family? If so, why?2.     Do you agree you need other Christians to help you fully experience God? Is that appealing or not?3.     Is it easy or hard for you to let others serve you? What makes it difficult to receive help or show need?4.     Are there people in this church not related to you who actually know what your life looks like?5.     Would you say you've experienced the hospitality of Jesus? If so, how has that impacted you, or how would you like it to impact you?6.     Hospitality is described as making space for others — which doesn't require a big house, just a willingness to share your life. What's one specific way you could extend that kind of hospitality to someone in this community in the coming weeks?
