Send us a Text Message.Embark on a spiritual odyssey that promises to enrich your understanding of the Christian concept of being "born again." Our latest episode delves into the heart of Jesus's plan for salvation, a transformative process that encompasses repentance, baptism, and the reception of the Holy Spirit. We explore the profound implications of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and John 3:3, elucidating how these sacred texts underpin the rebirth of believers and their passage into the Kingdom of God. It's more than a theological concept; it's a personal journey that mirrors the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, a path that leads to a profound metamorphosis of the spirit.But our conversation doesn't end at rebirth. We also tackle the dynamic relationship between faith and actions, inspired by James 2 and the lived examples of the earliest Christians and apostles. True faith isn't passive belief; it's vividly demonstrated through the acts of repentance, baptism, and embracing the Holy Spirit—actions that constitute a complete, heartfelt embrace of the Gospel. Guided by the assurance that Scripture is authored by God Himself, we're challenged to live out our faith through righteous acts and good works. So, if you're ready to deepen your comprehension of these foundational truths and witness how they're not merely doctrines but life-changing realities, tune in for an episode that will inspire your spiritual journey.One of the best podcasts outside of the Renewed Mindsets brand!   If you are interested in becoming a Producer of Renewed Mindsets, visit: www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsSupport the Show.Support the Show:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsRenewed Mindsets can be found on Facebook, Twitter (X), Threads and Instagram as Renewed Mindsets.

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever wondered if the unprecedented events shaking our world are more than mere coincidences? This week on Renewed Mindsets, we peel back the layers of Biblical prophecy to uncover how today's headlines might just be the celestial signs foretelling the return of Jesus. From my own spiritual awakening to the unfolding of ancient scriptures, we'll connect the dots between the prophecies in the Book of Daniel and the rapid technological advances that have transformed our society—echoing the once-dismissed predictions of Sir Isaac Newton on human knowledge surpassing divine wisdom.The spotlight then shifts to the enigmatic land of Israel, whose very existence and history are tightly woven into end times prophecy. Amidst a culture where the term 'woke' has come to symbolize a departure from traditional values, I question the blurred lines in today's 'woke church' that often embrace sin under the guise of modernity. As we recount the miraculous birth of Israel and the prophetic return of its people, I present evidence that may very well position our generation as witnesses to the Messiah's second advent.Our journey culminates with the essence of Christian faith—salvation through unwavering belief in Jesus Christ. I lay bare the transformation that true faith should engender, challenging the complacency that sometimes creeps into our spiritual lives. It's a clarion call to embrace the Holy Spirit, renew our spirits, and prepare with earnestness for what many believe are the final days before Jesus' triumphant return. Join me, Rick, as we confront these profound topics with reverence, seeking to inspire and ignite a renewal within.One of the best podcasts outside of the Renewed Mindsets brand!   If you are interested in becoming a Producer of Renewed Mindsets, visit: www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsSupport the Show.Support the Show:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsRenewed Mindsets can be found on Facebook, Twitter (X), Threads and Instagram as Renewed Mindsets.

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever witnessed a love so selfless, it moved you to the core? My latest musings tackle the profound essence of Christian love, contrasting it with our modern-day culture's emphasis on self-interest. Through a series of Bible stories and personal reflections, I, Rick, delve into the radical love Jesus demonstrated—actions purely driven by compassion without seeking anything in return. From feeding the 5,000 to healing the sick, Jesus set a precedent for us all. But it's not just about grand gestures; it's about letting love infuse every action of our daily lives, as urged by 1 Corinthians 16:14, a scripture that has deeply resonated with me.This episode brings you into the heart of what it means to practice such love in real-life scenarios. I'll share a touching story of a friend's mother whose commitment to her aging parent exemplifies selfless devotion. Her story is one of many that challenge us to look beyond our convenience to truly embody this Christ-like love. Together, let's embark on a journey to discover how we can better serve others with a compassionate heart and be a living testament to the scripture that commands us to let all that we do be done in love. So, tune in, and join me as we seek to transform our approach to love, one act of kindness at a time.If you are interested in becoming a Producer of Renewed Mindsets, visit: www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsSupport the Show.Support the Show:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsRenewed Mindsets can be found on Facebook, Twitter (X), Threads and Instagram as Renewed Mindsets.

I share stories from my own journey and from those of biblical heroes, nudging us to rethink our rush for quick fixes and instead, bask in the beauty of patient faith.Woven throughout our conversation is the theme of waiting—how it's not just about biding time, but about preparation, strength, and deepening our connections with the divine.

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever found yourself grappling with the tension between showing grace and standing firm in truth? Join me, Rick, on Renewed Mindsets, as I share a stirring personal story that brings us face-to-face with this dilemma. We'll explore the transformative power of grace — a force that moves us beyond the comfort of a free pass and into the realm of genuine change and confrontation with sin. Inspired by the life of Jesus Christ, we unpack the critical balance of grace and truth, scrutinizing our culture's diluted interpretation of grace and rediscovering its role in our spiritual growth and accountability within the Christian community. So, grab your coffee and prepare to embrace grace in a way that aligns with God's loving discipline and our own personal development.In a riveting segment titled "Pick a Hill," I delve into the profound essence and respect of names, particularly within the sphere of faith. We'll reflect on the awe surrounding God's name in Hebrew culture and the life-altering implications of invoking the name of Jesus. I'll break down the true meaning behind taking the Lord's name in vain, journeying beyond clichéd expressions to the depth of our heart cries to God. Moreover, we'll discuss the foundational role of God's grace, as per 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, distinguishing salvation through grace from the works we do out of gratitude and love for God. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that weaves together our spiritual gifts with the reverence of the sacred names we cherish.One of the best podcasts outside of the Renewed Mindsets brand!   If you are interested in becoming a Producer of Renewed Mindsets, visit: www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsSupport the Show.Support the Show:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsRenewed Mindsets can be found on Facebook, Twitter (X), Threads and Instagram as Renewed Mindsets.

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever heard the one about the chicken that lived without a head? It's not just a quirky anecdote; it's the real-life story of Mike, a chicken who survived 18 months post-decapitation back in 1945. On the latest episode of Renewed Mindsets,  we take you on a journey to explore how Mike's unusual tale casts a fresh lens on the dynamics of community and the power of unity within the Body of Christ. We'll chuckle together over this extraordinary piece of history while unpacking the profound spiritual parallels it presents. Especially for you Gen Xers and Millennials, this episode promises to resonate, showing how every one of us can make a vital contribution to our faith communities, just like every part of the body plays a crucial role in our overall well-being.As we commemorate Mike's undying spirit, we also delve into the lasting impact of unity and the way a small Colorado town continues to celebrate his legacy. Their collective memory mirrors the interconnectedness that strengthens the church and broadens Christ's message of love and redemption. But beware, for this episode also tackles the slippery slope of pastor-centric congregations, reminding us that while leadership is key, the church must orbit around Christ, not charismatic figures. With references to scriptures like 1 Corinthians 12:12 and Matthew 6:24, I encourage listeners to nurture a vibrant, Christ-centered community that's brimming with love, grace, and truth. Tune in for an episode that's as heartwarming as it is thought-provoking, where faith meets fowl in the most unexpected ways.One of the best podcasts outside of the Renewed Mindsets brand!   If you are interested in becoming a Producer of Renewed Mindsets, visit: www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsSupport the Show.Support the Show:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsetsRenewed Mindsets can be found on Facebook, Twitter (X), Threads and Instagram as Renewed Mindsets.
