Renewed Mindsets: Don't Conform-TRANSFORM
Renewed Mindsets is a bold, truth-driven podcast that digs into End Times prophecy, biblical warnings, and the call to live holy in the final days. Each episode exposes deception in today’s church, highlights signs of Christ’s return, and challenges believers to transform their minds and hearts according to God’s Word — not the world’s opinions. This is not surface-level faith. It’s a wake-up call for the remnant to rise, repent, and get ready

Struggle To Standing
Send us a text Holding my newly published book in my hands for the first time felt surreal. "Struggle to Standing" represents my journey through pain, surrender, and the fight to stand again—and today I'm thrilled to announce it's officially available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats on Amazon. This isn't just another book. It's a testament to God's faithfulness when life knocks us down. Written specifically for anyone who has experienced heartbreak, loss, or spiritual collapse, these pages speak directly to those who thought they were done, only to discover God wasn't finished with them yet. The foundation of this work comes from Psalm 40:2: "He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along." This scripture doesn't just open the book—it lives inside it, reflecting the transformative journey from despair to stability that only God can provide. While my name appears on the cover, God's fingerprints mark every page. For those who've found value in the Renewed Mindsets podcast or Wisdom for the Day devotionals, this book continues that mission of biblical encouragement and spiritual growth. I've also created a companion journal called "Steps to Standing" to help readers actively participate in their healing journey. Both are available now by searching "Struggle to Standing" or my name, Rick Uhas, on Amazon. As we prepare for our upcoming episode on end times technology, remember that standing isn't just possible—it's promised when we trust God. Have you experienced a struggle that God transformed into strength? I'd love to hear your story after you read the book!

Community Outreach: Not an Option in the End Times
Send us a text The harvest is ready, but the Church has retreated behind its walls. Jesus painted a vivid picture when He said, "Look around, the fields are already ripe for harvest," and He wasn't talking about wheat—He was pointing at people. Broken, hurting souls searching for something real while we argue about coffee flavors in the church lobby. This wake-up call challenges the comfortable Christianity that's forgotten its mission. The Great Commission wasn't a suggestion for missionaries and extroverts—it was a command for every believer. "How can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?" That someone is you. When the Holy Spirit fell in Acts 2, believers immediately went outside. Peter preached in the streets, not behind a pulpit, and 3,000 were saved in one day. The early church grew because followers of Jesus went out healing, helping, loving, and testifying "day after day, from house to house." Most Christians have grown soft, wanting blessings without burden and revival that doesn't interrupt our Netflix schedule. But community outreach forces us to die to self like Jesus did. He left heaven's perfection to walk among our pain, while we make excuses for not knocking on a neighbor's door. This isn't just kindness—it's spiritual warfare that breaks chains when you bring light into darkness. You have a mouth to speak truth, hands to serve others, and a testimony to share. The hour is late, the harvest is waiting, and this isn't a pep talk—it's a call to repentance. Stop scrolling, stop overthinking, and do something this week. Knock on a door, feed someone hungry, volunteer at a shelter, or share your testimony. The church that goes out is the church that's truly on fire, and the gates of hell can't stop that.

Lukewarm Faith in The End Times
Send us a text Are you on fire for God or surviving on a spiritual flicker? That's the burning question at the heart of this soul-stirring episode that confronts the deadly deception of lukewarm faith. The dangerous middle ground between hot obedience and cold rebellion isn't just disappointing to God—it's offensive. Drawing from Revelation 3:15-16, we explore why Jesus would rather us be completely cold than tepid in our faith. This lukewarm existence looks spiritual on the surface while masking a heart that loves comfort more than Christ, and it's far more common in our churches than many want to admit. Through unflinching biblical truth, we identify the telltale signs of lukewarmness: prioritizing God only when convenient, justifying private compromises, believing in forgiveness without practicing repentance, and building a life around worldly success while squeezing Jesus into the margins. These patterns don't just lead to an underwhelming faith—they potentially lead to eternal separation from God. The most chilling warning comes from Matthew 7:21-23, where Jesus declares to many religious people: "I never knew you." These aren't atheists He's addressing, but people who claimed His name, performed religious duties, and appeared spiritual while never truly surrendering. In these last days, as prophesied in Scripture, this spiritual lukewarmness becomes even more dangerous as believers compromise truth for comfort, setting themselves up for great deception. But there's hope for the half-hearted! We outline practical steps to break free from spiritual numbness and reignite your relationship with Christ: honest repentance, returning to your first love for Jesus, pursuing holiness with urgency, saturating yourself in Scripture daily, and surrounding yourself with believers who refuse to settle. This isn't about religious performance—it's about authentic transformation. Ready to move beyond lukewarm living? Let today be the day your soul wakes up and your spiritual fire burns bright once more.

Laodicea: The Church of The End Times
Send us a text A persistent knock echoes through the halls of modern Christianity—not from seekers, but from Jesus Himself, standing outside the doors of His own church. This sobering revelation forms the heart of a powerful message that confronts the lukewarm condition of today's believers. The ancient church of Laodicea wasn't struggling or failing—it was prosperous, comfortable, and self-satisfied. Their lukewarm spiritual condition perfectly mirrored their physical reality: a city that piped in water that arrived neither refreshingly cold nor therapeutically hot, just uselessly lukewarm. Jesus' devastating assessment still rings true today: "You say 'I am rich, I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing,' but you do not realize that you're wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked." We've created a Christianity that's wealthy but not powerful, comfortable but not transformative. We've traded glory for graphics, built altars to personalities rather than holiness, and crafted a faith that asks Jesus to wait in the back row while we run the show. Prayer altars stand empty while production values soar. Satan didn't need to destroy the church—he simply needed us to believe we were fine without radical dependence on Jesus. What keeps us spiritually anesthetized? Comfort that avoids spiritual disciplines, fear of man that silences prophetic truth, and idolatry of self that transforms Jesus from Lord to life coach. The consequences extend beyond our personal spiritual lives—our children don't know truth because we didn't teach it, marriages crumble because we didn't fight spiritually, and culture deteriorates because we whispered when called to roar. Yet mercy remains—Jesus still knocks, offering refined gold instead of fake prosperity, white garments of righteousness instead of shame, and spiritual eye salve for clarity in a blind world. The question remains: Will we be the church that hosts services but never surrenders, or will we open the door and let Jesus take over completely? The time to wake up is now. The remnant will be bold, unashamed, and burning with holy passion. Subscribe now and share this urgent message with someone who needs to hear it.

Why Pentecost Matters in the End Times
Send us a text Fire has fallen silent in our sanctuaries. While we celebrate Pentecost as a historical marker, many have forgotten what that upper room explosion of divine power was meant to accomplish in our everyday lives. This raw, unfiltered episode cuts through religious fog to reclaim the true essence of Pentecostal power for these final hours. The early church wasn't born through clever strategy – it erupted through heaven tearing into earth with tongues of fire. Those first believers weren't just emotionally moved; they were supernaturally empowered. Peter, once cowering in fear, stood with such authority that thousands were instantly converted. Yet today, we've traded that fire for fog machines, unction for entertainment, and boldness for brand-building. This spiritual drought comes at precisely when we need divine power most. As prophecies unfold at breakneck speed and darkness intensifies, lukewarm religion won't sustain us. We don't need another motivational message; we need the Holy Spirit active, alive, and leading every part of our lives. True Pentecostal living isn't just speaking in tongues but speaking truth when silence feels safer and living holy when compromise surrounds us. Are you still burning, or has your fire faded into the winds of compromise? If you've grown lukewarm, it's time to rebuild your altar through genuine repentance, seek daily filling, and live with supernatural boldness. The darker the night grows, the brighter authentic believers must shine. Don't settle for religious routine when God offers transforming fire. Let your life burn bright until Jesus returns.

Loyalty in the End Times
Send us a text Loyalty has become a forgotten virtue in today's world of convenience and self-focus. This raw, challenging episode confronts what true loyalty looks like in an age where commitment has become optional and faithfulness rare. The loyalty crisis affecting our world manifests in three critical areas. First, in our relationship with God—where many offer lip service without the obedience that costs something. Biblical loyalty isn't about religious performance but showing up when temptation strikes, when God seems silent in suffering, and when the crowd abandons ship. As Rick powerfully reminds us, "American Christianity preaches comfort. Biblical Christianity preaches loyalty." The crisis extends into our relationships, where we're often connected but not committed. True loyalty gets tested when friends struggle with addiction or depression, when difficult confrontations become necessary, and when forgiveness feels impossible. Like Ruth told Naomi, loyalty declares, "where you go, I'll go" even when there's nothing to gain but shared sorrow. Most challenging is the call to remain loyal to the church—protecting what God is building despite imperfections. With believers leaving churches over offense rather than doctrine, leaders burning out, and congregations splitting over personalities, we need the steadfastness described in Hebrews 10:25. The remnant God is raising in these end times aren't perfect, but they're faithful when it's unpopular, present when it's difficult, and unwavering when everything shakes. Will you be among the loyal ones still standing when Christ returns? The decision starts today.

The Rock of Offense
Send us a text "The Jesus who doesn't fit into the American church's soft gospel or cultural friendly faith" - this episode of Renewed Mindsets delivers a powerful wake-up call to Christians who have embraced a comfortable, inoffensive version of Jesus that bears little resemblance to the biblical Christ. Rick cuts straight to the heart of modern Christianity's greatest deception: the substitution of Jesus the King with Jesus the mascot. This Americanized Jesus loves without confrontation, accepts without transformation, and offers blessing without repentance. The problem? He's not real. Drawing from Scripture, Rick reminds us that Jesus is described as "a rock of offense" - not because He's harsh, but because truth disrupts comfort and light exposes what hides in darkness. The episode presents a challenging question: When was the last time Jesus offended you? If you can't remember, perhaps you've surrounded yourself with teachers who tell you what your itching ears want to hear rather than what your soul needs. The biblical Jesus doesn't validate our brokenness; He transforms it. He doesn't affirm what culture celebrates when it contradicts Scripture; He calls it rebellion. This Christ demands complete surrender, not casual acknowledgment. Matthew 21:44 presents our stark choice: "Whoever falls on this stone will be broken, but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder." There is no middle ground. We must either allow Christ to break our pride and tear down our self-built identities, or face His judgment. The offense Jesus brings is ultimately love - He wounds to heal, breaks to restore, and confronts to save. Have you settled for a passive, people-pleasing Jesus who tolerates sin instead of destroying it? Text a friend about this episode, visit renewedmindsets.com for more content, and prepare your heart for the authentic Christ who loves you too much to leave you in deception.

Breaking Free from Trauma-Fueled Overthinking
Send us a text Ever find yourself stuck in endless mental loops, questioning decisions God has already confirmed? You're not alone. In this raw, soul-stirring episode, we dive deep into the dangerous kind of overthinking that's not just mental gymnastics but spiritual warfare. When trauma is left unaddressed, when rejection or betrayal hasn't been brought before God, it creates thought patterns that keep us questioning everything—even when God has already answered. We expose the subtle but devastating connection between unhealed wounds and the modern spirit of FOMO (fear of missing out). This dangerous combination has many believers constantly searching yet never settling, praying for things they already possess, and looking back fondly at situations that nearly destroyed them. "Overthinking steals your now by keeping you stuck in your then or obsessed with your next." The enemy knows he can't snatch your salvation, but he'll try to smother your peace. A restless Christian is an ineffective Christian. That's why we offer practical, Scripture-based strategies for breaking free from the overthinking cycle: bringing trauma into the light, saturating your mind with truth, practicing contentment, and fixing your eyes firmly on Jesus rather than endless possibilities. Whether you're exhausted from analyzing every situation or tired of feeling like God's blessings aren't enough, this episode offers hope. "Peace isn't the absence of discomfort; it's the presence of God in the middle of it." Take our five-minute daily challenge to identify what you're still chasing that God already gave you. Your overthinking mind is ready for rest, and true healing begins with surrendering those wounds to the Prince of Peace.

Love In The End Times
Send us a text Have you ever poured your heart into someone who couldn't—or wouldn't—love you back? The biblical prophet Hosea lived this reality when God commanded him to marry a woman who would repeatedly betray him. His story reveals a profound truth: sometimes our most painful relationships serve a divine purpose we can't yet see. Today's episode dives deep into what it means to love with God's heart, especially when that love isn't returned. Many of us find ourselves loving people whose hearts are fractured—people who push away affection, sabotage relationships, or never learned what healthy love looks like. When we consistently show up with patience and faithfulness, these individuals often don't know how to respond. They might run, reject, or take what we've given them only to offer it to someone else. The message of Hosea offers a radical perspective shift. Perhaps God placed you in their life not primarily to receive love but to give it—to show them what divine love looks like through your constancy. Your love becomes a seed planted in broken soil that may not sprout for years, maybe not until eternity. The value isn't measured by what returns to you but by what flows from you. As we explore this counterintuitive truth, you'll discover that loving like Hosea—loving like God—transforms not just those we love, but ourselves as well. Ready to see your painful relationships through heaven's eyes? Listen now and discover how your unreturned love might be accomplishing more than you realize. If this message resonates with you, don't keep it to yourself—share it with someone who needs this perspective today.

Devotional: Fear Must Bow
Send us a text Fear has a way of demanding center stage in our lives. It pounds at the door of our thoughts, steals our peace, and tries to bend every decision around its threats. But there's something fear doesn't want you to remember—it must bow to a higher authority. This devotional takes us deep into Philippians 2:10, revealing how "at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." Through powerful insights and bold declarations, we unpack what this means for the fears that plague your daily life. Whether you're battling anxiety about the future, fear of rejection, financial worries, or even fear of death itself—every single one must collapse under Christ's authority. We explore the profound truth that you don't need to fight fear with positive thinking or your own strength. Instead, when you stand under the banner of Jesus' name, no fear can remain standing—it must kneel before the King of Kings. Through simple, practical steps and memorable declarations like "Fear is loud. Jesus is louder. Fear is strong. Jesus is stronger," you'll discover how to position yourself in this spiritual reality. The devotional closes with Isaiah 41:10, God's tender promise that He is with you, strengthening you and holding you up with His victorious right hand. This week, take the challenge to speak Jesus' name over whatever specific fears have been controlling you. Place visible reminders in your daily environment and watch what happens when fear encounters the One it must bow to. Ready to stop living under fear's shadow? Listen now and discover how to stand in the freedom that comes when fear bows to Jesus.

Fear or Faith: Choosing Courage in End Times
Send us a text Fear runs rampant in today's world—a paralyzing force that's being weaponized to manipulate and control. But what if this overwhelming anxiety isn't just an emotion but a spiritual attack? What if your response to fear determines your spiritual clarity in these final days? The Renewed Mindsets podcast tackles fear head-on, revealing its true nature as a spirit that doesn't originate from God. When understood through the lens of 2 Timothy 1:7, we see that God gives us power, love, and self-discipline—not fear and timidity. This distinction proves crucial as we navigate increasingly turbulent times. Jesus warned that the end times would be characterized by terror so intense that "people will die from fright." This prediction plays out before our eyes as fear becomes the primary tool ushering in compromised faith and acceptance of anti-biblical systems. The path forward isn't found in denying reality but in standing firm with spiritual armor intact. Through practical strategies including scripture immersion, Spirit-led prayer, identity reinforcement, and community connection, believers can transform from fearful reactors to faithful warriors. The episode includes a powerful devotional segment illustrating how fear targets vulnerability like a fiery arrow, while God's provision of spiritual weapons ensures we never fight defenseless. Rather than merely surviving fear, we're called to overcome it. As Psalm 56:3-4 reminds us: "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you... so why should I be afraid?"

Getting Fed in the End Times
Send us a text The battle for your eternity begins in your mind. Every day, you're being shaped by the voices you allow to feed your spirit—but are these voices leading you closer to Christ or deeper into deception? In this challenging episode, we expose the subtle dangers of consuming the wrong spiritual nourishment in these last days. False teachers don't always appear threatening; the most dangerous ones come "disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves" (Matthew 7:15). They speak from pride instead of wisdom, from wounds instead of healing, or from rebellion instead of righteousness—and their words slowly transform you in ways you might not recognize until it's too late. We identify eight unmistakable signs that you're being fed spiritual junk food: justifying sin rather than fleeing from it, resisting biblical correction, craving emotional experiences over Scripture, prioritizing acceptance over obedience, rejecting godly authority, becoming casual about holiness, growing skeptical of true spiritual power, and experiencing stagnation in Christlikeness. This isn't just about being right—it's about spiritual survival. True discernment isn't paranoia; it's clarity that comes through intentional spiritual disciplines. We provide a practical battle plan: daily Scripture immersion, specific prayer for wisdom, walking in humility, staying connected to believers, and testing every message against God's Word. As 1 Corinthians 10:21 warns, "You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too." You must choose your table wisely, because what fills you will form you, and what forms you will determine your eternity. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear this urgent message.

PodSwap: 'Til the Wheels Fall Off
Send us a text PodShare - 'Til the Wheels Fall Off "Nobody else notices that thing about you except yourself." This powerful revelation anchors our heartfelt conversation about the invisible battle teenagers fight with insecurity in today's comparison-driven world. Alayna and Liam open up about their personal struggles with self-image, revealing the stark differences between how teenage boys and girls experience and express feelings of inadequacy. While girls often fixate on appearance, weight, and talents, boys typically mask insecurities behind a facade of strength, believing vulnerability makes them "less of a man." The conversation dives deep into how these challenges manifest differently yet stem from the same human need to feel worthy and accepted. Social media emerges as a central villain in this narrative, bombarding teenagers with filtered, curated images that create impossible standards. We explore how platforms like Instagram and TikTok intensify insecurities by turning everyday life into a performance. As Liam describes, "We just look around and try to say that we're not affected by it, but really we are and we just don't want to accept it." The discussion takes a critical turn when examining the dangerous coping mechanisms teens develop in response to these feelings: isolation, negative self-talk, substance abuse, and in Elena's candid admission, disordered eating. These behaviors can spiral into serious mental health issues that parents often fail to recognize. What makes this episode especially meaningful is the biblical perspective we bring to these struggles. Drawing from Scripture like Ephesians 1:4-6 and Psalms, we remind listeners of their inherent value beyond physical appearance or accomplishments. Our conversation bridges the gap between modern teenage struggles and timeless spiritual truths about self-worth. Whether you're a teenager navigating these waters yourself, a parent trying to understand your child's behavior, or someone still healing from adolescent wounds, this episode offers both comfort and practical strategies for building healthy self-image.

The Perilous Days of the End Times
Send us a text The 100th episode of Renewed Mindsets arrives with a burning message that cuts through the comfortable Christianity many have embraced. We're not just living in troubled times – we're witnessing the fulfillment of Paul's warning about perilous last days where darkness masquerades as light and wickedness cloaks itself in religious language. What happens when everyone claims Jesus but nobody wants to look like Him? When sinners rebuke the church and religious rebels proudly proclaim faith while living like the devil? This spiritual crisis runs deeper than mere confusion – it's active resistance against biblical truth. The American version of Christianity has become a dangerous counterfeit where standards are so low you can barely trip over them. Many believers proudly identify as "just a sinner saved by grace" as an excuse to remain in sin, while redefining holiness as legalism and conviction as oppression. This urgent message speaks directly to the faithful remnant who feel outnumbered and misunderstood. Your commitment to biblical truth isn't excessive – you were born for this moment. Christ isn't returning for a compromised bride but a spotless one.

Spiritual Deception in the Last Days
Send us a text The greatest spiritual danger facing believers today isn't coming from outside the church—it's already inside. Spiritual deception is subtly infiltrating congregations worldwide, and most concerning of all, Jesus warned that "many" would be led astray without even realizing it. This urgent episode tackles how false teaching operates—not through obvious heresies but through subtle distortions that sound biblical while leading people away from genuine faith. When Scripture warned that people would "look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear," it was describing our current religious landscape with disturbing accuracy. We examine specific deceptions gaining traction: prosperity teaching that promises wealth rather than transformation, progressive theology that eliminates sin and repentance, and the integration of New Age practices into "Christian wellness." These aren't fringe movements but mainstream influences affecting thousands of churches and millions of believers. The most dangerous aspect of deception is how it targets foundational doctrines. Many churches now teach versions of salvation that never mention holiness, preach a gospel that requires no life change, or deny the Holy Spirit's present-day power. The result? Congregations full of people who use Jesus' name but don't actually know Him—precisely the scenario Jesus described when He said many would hear, "I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws." Protecting yourself requires more than casual Christianity. You need daily immersion in Scripture, spiritual discernment to test every message, careful examination of the fruit produced by various teachings, and connection to authentic community. The stakes couldn't be higher—this isn't merely about theological correctness but eternal destiny. Are you following the real Jesus or a comfortable counterfeit designed to make you feel good without challenging you? The difference could determine everything. The time for spiritual passivity has ended. Text someone this episode, share the truth while there's still time, and realign your faith with biblical truth before Christ returns.

Peace Talks: When Everything Falls Apart
Send us a text The world feels increasingly unstable - wars rage, disasters intensify, and moral confusion abounds. Where can we find genuine peace in such turbulent times? Rick and Lauren tackle this vital question head-on, drawing a sharp distinction between what the world calls peace and the supernatural peace that God provides. "The world's peace depends on circumstances," Rick explains, "but God's peace defies circumstances." Throughout this intimate conversation, they explore how temporary comforts - relationships, money, food, substances - merely mask our pain while God offers something profoundly different: an inexplicable inner stillness that remains even when everything external is falling apart. Lauren vulnerably shares her personal journey through family breakdown, detailing how her father abruptly abandoned their family and faith, leaving deep wounds of bitterness and unforgiveness. "I let it destroy my heart," she confesses, describing her path from anger to surrender. Her testimony powerfully illustrates how peace emerges not when problems disappear but when we finally release control to God. The hosts weave Scripture throughout their discussion, returning often to promises like Isaiah 26:3: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you." Their conversation acknowledges the real challenges believers face while offering practical guidance on maintaining peace amid chaos. As Lauren beautifully states, "His peace isn't about perfect circumstances; it's about His perfect presence." If you're struggling to find stillness in your soul or battling fears you can't shake, this episode offers both comfort and challenge - reminding us that true peace comes not from fixed circumstances but from a fixed focus on the Prince of Peace.

Finding Peace in the End Times
Send us a text Peace feels increasingly elusive in our chaotic world of wars, natural disasters, and social division. Many of us wake up and immediately fill our minds with anxiety-inducing content before even acknowledging God. Yet as believers, we're promised a peace that transcends our circumstances—not the absence of problems, but the steadfast presence of God. This episode dives deep into why peace seems so hard to find and identifies the primary thieves targeting our tranquility. Fear keeps us fixated on "what-ifs" rather than who God is. Unforgiveness chains us to past hurts when freedom awaits through extending the same grace Christ gave us. A divided mind—attempting to straddle both worldly and kingdom values—creates inevitable internal turmoil that only full surrender can resolve. The path to lasting peace begins with practical daily choices: seeking God before checking our phones, meditating on Scripture that anchors our souls, and developing a lifestyle of Spirit-led living where peace becomes our natural state rather than a fleeting experience. Most powerfully, we share Sarah's journey—a woman who found supernatural peace after losing her husband in a tragic accident. Her testimony proves that God's peace isn't circumstantial but rooted in His unchanging presence. Ready to experience this peace yourself? Accept our seven-day challenge to declare trust in God each morning while meditating on Philippians 4:7. Don't just seek temporary relief from anxiety—embrace the unshakable peace Christ promised even in our most turbulent seasons.

Cold Hearts in the End Times
Send us a text The darkness is spreading, just as Scripture foretold. From systematic torture in detention centers to modern slavery, from militia violence against children to mass executions, our world increasingly reflects the sobering prophecy of 2 Timothy 3:1-4: "In the last days, terrible times will come, for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money." This spiritual decay isn't random but represents a profound shift toward selfishness and cruelty. Technology amplifies our obsession with validation rather than connection. Materialism drives the endless pursuit of wealth at others' expense. Absolute truth crumbles as Isaiah's warning plays out before us: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness." The consequences surround us – broken relationships, widespread injustice, and moral collapse. Yet amid this growing coldness, God calls His people to remain warm-hearted. Romans 12:2 provides our strategy: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind." This transformation enables us to practice radical empathy, serve selflessly, advocate boldly for justice, and demonstrate consistent kindness. Organizations rescuing trafficking victims, volunteers rebuilding after disasters, and individuals performing simple acts of compassion prove God remains active through those who choose to reflect His light. From "blessing boxes" providing food security to recovery programs offering healing, practical opportunities abound for pushing back against darkness. The choice stands before each of us: Will we allow our hearts to grow cold like the world around us, or will we stay close to the warmth of God's presence and share it with others? Your decision matters more than ever. Share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and join us next week for more unfiltered biblical truth and undeniable prophecy.

The Sabbath: Paul's True Position
Send us a text Did the Apostle Paul really teach that Christians should abandon the Sabbath? This controversial question has divided believers for centuries, but a deeper examination of Scripture reveals a surprising truth. We dive into Paul's most misunderstood passages on this topic – Colossians 2, Galatians 4, and Romans 14 – uncovering what he was actually addressing. Rather than dismissing Sabbath observance, Paul was battling false teachers who were distorting God's commandments with burdensome human regulations and pagan influences. The evidence is compelling. The absence of any major controversy about Paul abolishing the Sabbath speaks volumes – especially compared to the heated debates over circumcision recorded in Acts. Moreover, Paul himself continued observing the Sabbath throughout his ministry, making it unlikely he was teaching others to abandon it. What emerges is a more nuanced understanding of Paul's message: he defended the true purpose of the Sabbath against legalistic perversions while affirming its continuing validity for believers. His concern wasn't whether to observe sacred days, but how they were observed – not under bondage to human traditions, but in the freedom and grace found in Christ. This eye-opening exploration challenges popular misconceptions and invites believers to reconsider what we thought we knew about Paul's teachings on the Sabbath. Perhaps it's time to rediscover this divine gift – a time of rest, worship, and renewal in God's presence – as it was always intended to be. Join us as we continue our series on God's commandments and their relevance for believers today, especially as we navigate these end times.

It's a Commandment: The Urgency of the Sabbath
Send us a text The Sabbath commandment stands as perhaps the most widely overlooked divine instruction among modern Christians. With passionate conviction, this episode strips away centuries of tradition to reveal startling truths about the day God actually set apart for rest and worship. We examine the clear biblical evidence showing that the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was established at creation, reinforced in the Ten Commandments, and faithfully observed by Jesus and His disciples. More surprisingly, we uncover the historical reality of how Sunday observance replaced the biblical Sabbath—not through scripture or apostolic teaching, but through Emperor Constantine's political maneuvering and the gradual merging of Christianity with pagan sun worship traditions in the fourth century. The implications reach far beyond which day we choose to attend church. As we navigate these end times, Revelation points to commandment-keeping as a distinguishing characteristic of God's faithful followers. This episode offers practical guidance for honoring the Sabbath in our hectic modern world, demonstrating how setting aside a day for complete rest transforms our relationship with God and strengthens our spiritual foundation. The challenge remains clear: will we follow biblical truth or human tradition? When obedience becomes inconvenient, where will our ultimate allegiance lie? The choice we make regarding this commandment may well reveal whose authority we truly recognize in our lives.

The Powerless Church: A Wake-Up Call
Send us a text Are we witnessing a spiritual drought in the modern church? In this episode, we delve into the pressing issue of a church seemingly devoid of the power promised by Jesus.

Christmas Traditions Through a Biblical Lens
Send us a text Can decorating Christmas trees and celebrating Santa Claus impact your spiritual journey? Rick and Lauren invite you to rethink cherished holiday traditions through a biblical lens. By referencing scriptures like Jeremiah 10, we challenge the adoption of customs that might not align with God's call to holiness. We dive into the portrayal of Santa Claus, questioning how this figure, often imbued with divine attributes, can create confusion for children trying to understand the true meaning of Christmas. This episode doesn't shy away from asking tough questions, urging you to closely examine the spiritual implications of these traditions and how they may affect your relationship with Christ. Living a holy life is not about rule-following—it's about transformation. Together, we explore what it means to truly reflect our new identity in Christ, drawing on key scriptures such as 1 Peter 1:13-16 and 2 Corinthians 5:17. We offer practical steps to embrace holiness by communicating with God, immersing ourselves in His word, and embodying His love. With these insights, we hope to inspire you to thrive amidst uncertainties, finding strength in the faith journey.

Thankfulness as a Way of Life
Send us a text I was deeply moved by the story of a leper who, out of ten healed, was the only one to return and express gratitude to Jesus. This act of thankfulness is a powerful reminder that gratitude should be a constant presence in our lives, not just a fleeting seasonal sentiment. On this episode of Renewed Mindsets, Lauren and I explore the profound impact of living a life rooted in gratitude from a biblical perspective. Through personal experiences and stories from scripture, we reflect on how recognizing God’s provision during challenging times can transform our outlook and deepen our faith. We also delve into the importance of community, illustrating how the support and love of fellow believers can embody God's love during life's trials. As the Thanksgiving holiday draws near, we share our personal excitement and planning for the festivities, while also addressing how gratitude extends beyond immediate circumstances. Through a humorous parrot story and insights from the prophet Habakkuk, we discuss how gratitude should be anchored in the unchanging nature of God, not our ever-shifting situations. By focusing on God's attributes—His love, patience, and wisdom—we find inspiration to cultivate a heart of gratitude regardless of life's ups and downs. Join us as we celebrate this season of thankfulness, encouraging you to embrace gratitude as a lifestyle, fostering a deeper connection with God and those around you.

Real Halloween Talk and a new Co-Host
Send us a text Are you prepared to question the innocence of Halloween celebrations? Join us as Lauren King and I confront the unsettling connections between Halloween's origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain and its ties to paganism and the occult. We highlight the importance of recognizing how these seemingly benign traditions can carry spiritual implications that conflict with Christian values. Our exploration underscores the dangers of engaging with the dark themes commonly celebrated on this holiday, urging believers to maintain a life committed to holiness and light. Venturing beyond Halloween, we delve into the pervasive influences of demonic forces in modern culture. Through the teachings of the Bible and figures like martial artist Ip Man, we examine how negative emotions and temptations, such as greed and selfishness, can be manipulations by these unseen forces. Our conversation stresses the significance of vigilance and resisting deceitful influences by donning the "full armor of God." By staying grounded in faith and wisdom, we can navigate the complexities of contemporary life and safeguard ourselves against spiritual threats.

Send us a text Losing a job can be one of life's most jarring experiences, but it can also be a catalyst for profound personal growth. Join me on my journey through faith and resilience, where I recount the struggle of finding purpose beyond my professional identity. With scriptures as my guide and the unwavering support of my church community, I discovered new beginnings in unexpected places, including a fulfilling new job and an engagement to Kimmy Shirley, our associate producer and spiritual advisor. This episode is a testament to the idea that God's faithfulness is unwavering, and that even the darkest trials can lead to brighter opportunities. How often do we view waiting as an exercise in futility? By examining stories from scriptures like Psalms and James, we challenge the modern narrative that impatience is a virtue and instead highlight patience as a powerful virtue. Through reflections on figures such as Noah, Abraham, and Moses, we explore how patience is not just a passive state but a fertile ground for spiritual growth. Discover why virtues like patience, kindness, and gentleness are not signs of weakness but of true strength.

Awakening Hearts with the Word and Holy Spirit
Send us a text What will you do with Jesus today? Join us on this powerful episode of Renewed Mindsets, as we reflect on that life-changing question posed by Pontius Pilate in Matthew 27:21-22. We examine how our daily decisions either bring us closer to God or lead us away from Him, often due to our preference for convenience over conviction. Through the lens of Jesus's heartfelt prayer in Gethsemane, we highlight the importance of full surrender to God's will, pushing aside our pride and comfort to embrace His path with unwavering trust and patience. Additionally, we delve into the transformative relationship between the Holy Spirit and God's Word in the process of spiritual rebirth. Drawing from passages like Ephesians 2:5, John 3:3, and Romans 10:17, we illustrate how the Holy Spirit awakens our hearts to faith through the Word. Lydia's story in Acts 16:14 serves as a vivid example of this divine partnership. We also emphasize the critical role believers play in sharing the gospel, trusting that the Holy Spirit will work through our words to bring others to new life in Christ.

Send us a text What if the state of your heart determined how you received the most important messages in life? On this episode of Renewed Mindsets, we unravel the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4, revealing the varied conditions of the human heart. From those with hard hearts, similar to a footpath where seeds fail to take root, to the shallow-hearted who welcome the word with joy but lack depth, we explore what it means to cultivate a heart that truly nurtures God’s teachings. Our discussion underscores the necessity of moving beyond superficial faith to develop a profound and transformative relationship with God. We also delve into the significance of setting aside time for spiritual reflection and Sabbath observance, highlighting how ancient believers prioritized worship amidst their busy lives. Drawing vivid analogies, we emphasize the transformative power of the Word and the need for genuine internalization. We wrap up by likening the Word of God to a "game genie" for life, offering codes for success and alignment with God’s will, inspired by Romans 12:2.

Faith and Works: Holiness = Heaven
Send us a text Can genuine faith exist without good works? Join us on this compelling episode of Renewed Mindsets as we tackle the age-old debate of faith versus works. Drawing from Hebrews 12:14, James 2:26, Philippians 2:12, and John 15:2-6, we unravel the complexities of how faith and works intertwine in a believer's life. We boldly address two common heresies: the notion that good works are unnecessary for believers and the false belief that good works can secure salvation. This episode seeks to clarify the popular but misleading concept of "once saved, always saved," emphasizing that true faith inevitably produces good works and that perseverance is crucial for salvation. In the episode's final chapter, we emphasize the irreplaceable necessity of holiness in the Christian journey. Inspired by 1 Peter 1:16 and other biblical passages, we urge believers to pursue holiness by remaining connected to God and turning away from worldly impurities. Rick Yuhas wraps up with a profound reflection inspired by Romans 12:2, encouraging us to renew our minds to understand God's will. With heartfelt contributions from our dedicated team and special music by Weston McCurry, this episode offers both thought-provoking insights and spiritual enrichment.

This episode emphasizes the importance of humility, obedience, and the daily practice of aligning our lives with God's will. Learn how true submission to God, motivated by love and trust, can lead to a more fulfilling and joyful life. We'll distinguish this voluntary act from the forced subjugation often depicted in popular culture, using Loki's character in "The Avengers" as a stark contrast. By following Jesus, serving Him, and resisting the devil, we not only honor God but also foster spiritual growth and a sense of community rooted in love, justice, and sacrifice.

We discuss the importance of faith, obedience, and the miraculous outcomes that can come from following God's plan, highlighting Gideon's strategic approach and the pivotal moments that defined this biblical narrative. As we reflect on Gideon's story, we delve into broader themes of spiritual empowerment and activation. Discover the profound value of spiritual treasures over material possessions and learn how God invests in people, not things.

You Must Be Born Again!
Send us a text 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.

Signs of the End Times: Prophecy, Israel, and Our Renewed Faith
Send us a text 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.

BONUS: Love Like Jesus
Send us a text 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.

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.

Showing the Grace of God
Send us a text 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.

The Headless Chicken's Guide to Church Wisdom
Send us a text 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.

There's a battle being fought for our souls, and it's not without its strategies for those willing to listen—strategies that involve discernment in our media consumption and the company we keep. As we navigate the complexities of a society often at odds with faith, we extend a hand to fellow believers, especially Gen Xers and Millennials, to remain anchored in their convictions amidst the tumultuous sea of cultural shifts. Tolerance isn't just a buzzword—it's a battleground where the lines between acceptance and agreement are increasingly blurred. In this episode, we scrutinize the evolving definitions of this term and how they clash with Christian doctrine. Is it possible to be a follower of Christ and still practice true tolerance in today's world? We unpack the paradoxes and pressures faced by the faithful, advocating for a response that is steeped in love and grace without sacrificing the tenets of our belief. It's a call to arms, not of weaponry, but of unwavering faith and love, as we address the skepticism and critiques aimed at Christianity in the modern era.

Join me, Rick, on Renewed Mindsets, where we unravel the story of humanity's second chance, the divine mandate to replenish the earth, and the unprecedented permission to consume meat. We ponder the ecological and ethical ramifications of this new world order, where the animal kingdom now harbors fear of mankind, and reflect on the delicate balance of creation that was recalibrated in the wake of cataclysmic change. Venture further as we interpret the enduring covenant between God and all living creatures, symbolized by the vibrant arc of the rainbow.

As we dissect these ancient texts, the dialogue invites a deeper appreciation for the steadfastness of divine promises and the significance of maintaining respect and obedience to God's sovereignty, drawing powerful parallels to the challenges we face in today's world. Lastly, we dissect the sobering tale of Noah's intoxication and the subsequent curse of Ham, probing beyond the surface to uncover lessons on authority, family integrity, and the ramifications of alcohol misuse. By contemplating the wisdom imparted through Proverbs, our discussion exposes the stark consequences of our choices, challenging us to uphold godly behavior in a world that often forgets the value of temperance and honor.

PodSwap- Christ Alone Podcast: Is Jeffrey Dahmer in Heaven?
Send us a text Is Jeffrey Dahmer in Heaven? Could the story of a man as notorious as Jeffrey Dahmer hold a lesson profound enough to shake the very foundations of our faith? That's the question Angie and Stephens from the Christ Alone Podcast help us explore as they join us on a temporary detour from our usual programming. While I, Rick, take a well-deserved break, our guest hosts delve into the harrowing tale of Dahmer's grisly past and the redemptive narrative that unfolded in the hands of his baptizing pastor. This episode is not for the faint of heart, as it confronts us with a narrative that pushes the boundaries of Christian beliefs about redemption and shines a light on the power of spiritual transformation in even the darkest of places. As we gear up for my return next week, timed with the solemnity of Resurrection Sunday, Angie and Stephens guide us through a reflection on the universal nature of sin and the salvation that Christianity promises. They dare to compare the seemingly incomparable: a trivial lie with acts of unspeakable evil, highlighting the Christian doctrine that any sin creates a chasm between humanity and divine perfection. This powerful conversation examines the eternal versus temporal consequences of sin, the sincerity of Dahmer's conversion, and the ultimate judgment that resides with a higher authority. Prepare for an episode that not only challenges but also invites us to understand the transformative impact of faith and the boundless capacity for grace.

Spiritual Warfare: Win The Battles
Send us a text The raw ache of recent waring is a vivid reminder that our struggles aren't just emotional, they're spiritual. As I navigated this personal tempest, I uncovered the often invisible warfare happening within our spiritual lives. This episode is a candid sharing of that journey, unpacking the layers of spiritual combat and the strategies we must adopt to claim victory. We traverse the battlefield of the soul, armed with a seven-step guide drawn from scriptural insights such as Acts 1:8 and Ephesians 6:11-17. I passionately discuss how crucial it is to don the full armor of God, wield the 'sword of the Spirit', and keep the flame of prayer burning to fortify our defense against these unseen forces. Stepping further into the fray, we examine the gifts and maneuvers vital for spiritual conquest. Here, the emphasis is on the Word of God as our primary weapon against falsehoods, backed by the piercing truth of Hebrews 4:12. But it's not just about defense; the episode highlights the offensive power of praise and obedience, drawing from the deep wells of Psalm 22:3 and James 4:7. We confront the devil's schemes and celebrate the transformative power of the blood of Christ and the weight of our testimony, referencing Revelation 12:11. Join me as we approach this spiritual warfare not as victims but as victors, confidently stepping into the authority we have as believers to overcome life's spiritual skirmishes.

Spiritual Warfare: Recognizing Spiritual Attack
Send us a text Navigating life's storms can feel like an epic saga, where unseen forces wage battle over our spirit. This week Rick takes you deep into his own experiences and how he learned to decipher the spiritual warfare that often disguises itself as mere life struggles. Drawing parallels with biblical legends like Job and Jesus, he exposes the enemy's tactics and reminds us of the divine armor at our disposal. As we edge closer to understanding the true nature of these trials, he shares the personal realization that our greatest triumphs often follow the fiercest battles. We've all encountered moments when the ground beneath us seems to crumble—spirits dampened, hope teetering on the brink. In this heart-to-heart, he dissects the thin line separating everyday challenges from targeted spiritual onslaughts, guided by stories of resilience like Elijah's. By holding up the mirror to our own lives, we can see the reflection of God's unwavering truth as our beacon.

Persecution and Cancel Culture: A Gamer's Testament
Send us a text When JM, a professional gamer known as Markinator99, suddenly found himself ousted from the Global Speedrun Association, it wasn't just a personal blow—it was a stark reminder of the broader cultural rift that's been widening beneath our feet. We open our hearts and minds in a conversation about the growing phenomenon of cancel culture, especially as it pertains to Christians upholding traditional values. Through Mark's story, we traverse the precipice between religious convictions and the societal impetus to conform, offering solace and insights for those who feel their faith is being marginalized in today's ever-shifting landscape. Our dialogue intensifies as Milo and Cheese from GSA join in, bringing to the fore the delicate dance of balancing personal beliefs with the possibility of professional fallout. Recalling the trials of early Christians, we draw parallels to the present-day ideological clashes, underscoring the dire need for the freedom to express one's convictions. This is a candid exploration of the tension between standing one's ground amid the surging tides of cancel culture and the challenge of speaking biblical truth in a world that often seems at odds with it. As we near the close of our episode, we extend our gratitude to Floodgate for our Theme Song and to Weston McCurry for his musical genius, which gives our podcast an invigorating auditory flair. Beyond that, we dive into the concept of Renewed Mindsets, sharing strategies for personal evolution and shifts in thinking that can have a profound impact on mental and emotional health. Whether you're from Generation X or a millennial navigating faith and identity, our reflections aim to guide and inspire through the complexities of maintaining one's ethos in our rapidly evolving society.

Embrace the Wait: Timing Gods Promises
Send us a text Promises of God: Have you ever felt like you were on hold, waiting for a call that never comes? That's how waiting on God's promises can feel at times. In our latest episode, I get personal, sharing stories from my own life about seeking clarity in discernment and the moments where stepping aside unlocked a deeper understanding of God's voice. We're also drawing inspiration from the biblical figure Simeon, whose story is a testament to the beauty and challenge of patient expectation. For those holding onto promises and seeking a richer daily walk with Christ, this conversation is a heartfelt exploration of faith, patience, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Patience in today's instant-gratification world is a rare commodity, but through the biblical lens, we see its undeniable value. This episode takes you on a journey through scriptural times, from the Garden of Eden to the Israelites in exile, to uncover the golden thread of waiting woven throughout God's narrative. The Holy Spirit's role in guiding Simeon—and us—during these periods of anticipation is magnified, encouraging us to carve out those precious moments with God. If you've ever wondered about the personal impact of an intimate relationship with Jesus, let's explore how such encounters can pivot the direction of our lives. But what about when heaven seems silent? We tackle the raw emotions that accompany unanswered prayers, drawing from David's poignant expressions in the Psalms. If you're wrestling with questions on why some prayers don't yield the answers we seek, this episode provides companionship and perspective on the journey. I'd love to continue this dialogue off-air, so feel free to connect with me for a more personal conversation. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance of earnest theological musings and the lighter sides of life, all while embracing the promises and presence of God. Scripture References: Luke 2:25-35 : 25At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him 26and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, 28Simeon was there.

Witchcraft, Cults and Domination: Church Control Thru Leadership Sorcery
Send us a text Has the modern church unwittingly opened its doors to the very practices it once condemned? Join us on Renewed Mindsets as we bravely confront the insidious creep of witchcraft into our culture and, shockingly, into Christian congregations. We're peeling back the layers of society's fascination with the occult, from its early depiction in pop culture to its contemporary, more digestible forms in today's entertainment. This episode is a call to arms for believers struggling to discern right from wrong in a world where such distinctions are increasingly obscured, to hold fast to spiritual integrity and scriptural truth. Our conversation ventures into the biblical narratives of Peter's misguided efforts to shield Jesus from harm and the serpent's beguiling offer in Eden, scrutinizing the underlying desires for control and power that disguise themselves as harmless or even helpful. The allure of magic and witchcraft, as innocuously portrayed in series like Harry Potter, is put under the microscope, revealing how such representations could be quietly reshaping our moral compass. We invite you to tune in and equip yourself with the discernment needed to navigate these tumultuous waters, remaining anchored in faith amidst society's swift and disorienting currents.

The Rapture: Return of the King
Send us a text Embark on a journey through the awe-inspiring narrative of Christianity's ultimate hope: the second coming of Jesus Christ. With vivid parallels drawn from the 'Return of the King' in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, we delve into the biblical promise of Christ's return—an event shrouded in glory, heralded by angels, and marked by divine judgment. The grandeur of this prophesied moment is laid bare, as we discuss the scriptural vision of the world's division into the faithful and the faithless, the sheep and the goats. This segment promises to transport you into the heart of Christian eschatology, unearthing the profound implications for our future and reshaping our understanding of the world's destiny. Then, we navigate the essential Christian ethos of service, reminiscent of Christ's own ministry. Through simple, yet impactful acts of kindness, believers mirror the humility and magnanimity of Jesus, ultimately glorifying Him. We dissect the surprising twist of the Gospel—that in serving the least of these, we serve Christ Himself—as depicted in Matthew 10:42. But it's not without a cautionary tale, for those who turn away from this calling face an eternity apart from God. This episode is a clarion call to action, urging listeners to adopt a life of service and to recognize the eternal significance of every act of kindness.

Discover the transformative power of redefining church not just as a destination but as our very identity, and learn how this perspective can revolutionize our approach to faith and community. Our candid conversation sheds light on why younger generations are slipping through the church's grasp and how we can weave the gospel into our actions to meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Prepare to be challenged, as we confront the hard truths about traditional church practices and their effectiveness in nurturing true disciples who can carry the torch of faith into the marketplace and beyond. Dr. Johnny Walker joins me in a frank discussion on the intersection of contemporary culture and church life, examining the reasons behind the church's struggle to resonate with the digital generation. We're compelled to ask: Are we genuinely living out our faith in a way that impacts those around us? The episode delves into the compelling engagement Jordan Peterson commands through his authentic approach to biblical teachings, urging us to embrace transparency within our own faith communities. As we navigate these complex issues, we underscore the importance of shifting from a teaching-centric model to an active facilitation of discipleship, empowering believers to become influential disciplers themselves.

Send us a text Have you ever found yourself questioning the relevance of church in our fast-paced, digital world? Join me, Rick Yuhas, as I sit down with leadership coach Dr. Johnny Walker to tackle this and many other provocative questions about modern church dynamics. With a friendship spanning three decades, Dr. Walker and I share more than just laughs; we share a passion for reinvigorating the spiritual community. This episode promises a deep exploration into why church attendance has taken a backseat for many and how we can inspire a comeback that resonates with today's society. Our conversation takes an unexpected turn when we reminisce about a pivotal meal with Pastor Mike, which turned out to be a prelude to the pandemic's push for online ministry. We grapple with the reality that discipleship doesn't always need a pew and a pulpit. Instead, we reveal the successes and hurdles of cultivating faith through the pixels of our screens. By discussing the implementation of small, virtual groups, we shed light on how churches can effectively shepherd their flock in the digital grasslands of our time. We wrap up this episode with a look at the fine line churches walk between preserving tradition and embracing change, inspired by the likes of George Barna and C.S. Lewis. Dr. Walker and I dissect the reluctance of churches to adapt and the effects on their community clout. We propose a vision for churches that focuses on equipping believers to live out their faith every day, nurturing a familial atmosphere that extends far beyond Sunday mornings.

Send us a text Are you managing your money, or is it managing you? Tune in as I, Rick, unravel the spiritual threads woven into the fabric of finance on the Renewed Mindset show. This week, I peel away the common misconceptions that surround money, guiding you through the biblical lens of fiscal responsibility. We'll dissect the very notion that money is a root of all evil to reveal the transformative truth that it is our love for it that can lead us astray. Together, by exploring the profound lessons from the parable of the prodigal son among other teachings, we'll witness firsthand the impact of money management on our spiritual walk. In this heart-to-heart, I lay out the divine blueprint for mastering money matters, from spending less than you earn to embracing the spirit of generosity. Every verse and parable discussed is a step closer to turning financial resources into fountains of joy and peace. I'll also share personal recommendations for two podcasts that perfectly complement our journey: 'God's Loving Sacrifice' for those seeking serenity through scripture, and 'Wisdom for the Day Proverbs in 2024', where I offer daily nuggets of biblical wisdom.

From Grace to Judgement: Excuses Not Accepted
Send us a text Ever wonder why some Christians, despite following a faith deeply rooted in love and kindness, come across as harsh or judgmental? It's a puzzling paradox we're set to unravel, as we delve deep into the misconceptions and misinterpretations that might contribute to such behavior. From exploring how a sense of entitlement and a misunderstanding of God's grace can breed critical attitudes, to illuminating the hypocrisy of selectively condemning sins while conveniently ignoring one's own, we're tackling it all. And yes, we're going to challenge the oft-used excuse: "Christians are sinners too." Spoiler alert: being a sinner doesn't give one a free pass to poor behavior. We're also putting under the microscope common missteps in the journey of following Jesus, like the misuse of Biblical verses to justify retaliation or mistreatment. This is no spiritual deviation we're okay with. It's high time we recognize that our spiritual life isn't an isolated island; it intertwines with our personal and work life, and yes, there's no room for the "it's just business" mentality in Christianity. And if you thought "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," think again because our actions have consequences, even outside the church. As we draw towards the end, we talk about the importance of lifestyle and accountability in Christianity. Because church, dear listeners, is more than a physical place; it's a beacon guiding all aspects of our lives. So let's walk this path together, striving to live a life that truly reflects our faith.

Send us a text Do you ever feel like you're just coasting in your spiritual life, stuck in a rut of complacency? Let's change that. Let's get to the heart of the matter by drawing a line in the sand between complacency and contentment. Complacency, with its self-sufficiency and skewed self-perceptions, can leave us spiritually stale. But contentment? That's where the joy and growth bloom, as we uncover the four telltale signs of complacency that might be sidelining your spiritual growth. Together, we'll explore the importance of continual dependence on God and discover practical ways to keep complacency from taking root. Complacency, however, isn't just an individual issue. It can seep into the very fabric of our churches, stifling growth and progress. So, let's roll up our sleeves and tackle this issue head-on. We'll talk about ways to communicate the spiritual insights God is speaking to us, maybe through a blog, a podcast, or even a YouTube channel. We'll also identify five key signs of church complacency - from our reluctance to face challenges, to being content with past successes, and more. It's time to open our minds to fresh ideas, and not let pride barricade our progress. Let's dream, let's strive, and let's invigorate the future of our churches.

Instead, it's a daily renewal of our mindsets, steeped in the teachings of Christ, to confront our sins and embrace repentance. I invite you to reflect on the deep connection between the mercy we receive each dawn and the strength to make life-altering decisions—be they in our personal relationships or career paths.

That's just what we, your hosts Rick Yuhas and Jelena McClellan, will be doing in this engaging episode. Drawing from Jelena's Germanic background and Rick's American upbringing, we share personal experiences and insights into both German and American Christmas traditions, revealing how they've shaped our current holiday customs. We'll also take you on a poignant trip to Bethlehem, retracing the steps of Mary and Joseph, and casting light on their faith-filled journey. Ever wondered about the spiritual significance of Christmas lights? We'll shine a light on that and more, as we delve into the birth of Jesus as the light of the world and its parallels with modern traditions of lighting up homes and streets during this festive season. Through the tales of a seeker and an outcast, both in search of the promised Jewish Messiah, we'll discuss the role of shepherds in the biblical narrative, and how these stories resonate with our lives today.

Understanding Salvation: Being Born Again
Send us a text Ever wondered about the concept of being born again and the significant role it plays in the Christian faith? Well, let me assure you, we've got you covered in this week's episode of Renewed Mindsets. We take a deep, insightful look at this often misunderstood term and break it down into three comprehensible steps: dying spiritually with Christ on the cross, symbolically burying our old selves through baptism, and rising spiritually new as Christ did from the dead. From the story of Nicodemus to the clear-cut truth that being born again is not just a mental acknowledgement but active participation in following Jesus and his teachings, this episode is jam-packed with enlightening revelations. What really is the essence of repentance, baptism, and salvation in the Christian faith? This is another juicy topic we'll be tackling. We'll guide you through the intricate role of Christs blood and water in cleansing our sins, and demystify the common misconceptions surrounding salvation. By drawing parallels to Old Testament practices of sacrifice and purification, we'll lay out a clear understanding of the gospel as taught by Jesus, Peter and Paul and the vital importance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Furthermore, we'll illustrate the significance of this understanding and obedience in salvation, using the example of the thief on the cross. Don't miss out on this revelatory discussion!

Comparing Christianity to Other Faiths
Send us a text Ready to challenge your understanding of Christianity? Brace yourself as we embark on a journey to unveil the truth of Christianity and debunk the theories that question its validity. We'll break down our exploration into three critical aspects - the identity of Jesus, the rational compatibility of Christianity, and the questionable verifiability of other religious systems. We don't just scratch the surface; we dig deep to unearth the evidence for Jesus' divinity, miracles, and resurrection, as well as the historical and archaeological backup for the Bible. But we're not stopping there! Hold onto your seats as we plunge into the intriguing world of comparative religion. You might be wondering, how does Christianity hold up against religions like Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or the New Age movement? Well, we're going to tackle that head-on, dissecting the claims of these faiths and laying bare the reasons they can't be verified or lack rationality. We'll show you why Christianity, deeply rooted in the person of Jesus, stands tall amidst these faiths with the truth and evidence of God's inspiration. So, brace yourself for a thought-provoking discussion that will not only enlighten but also reinforce your faith in Christianity.

Why Would God? His Perfect Plan in a Corrupt World
Send us a text Are you ready to rewire your spiritual understanding? Brace yourself for a deep, philosophical dive into an intriguing question - why did a perfect God intentionally create a world destined for corruption? We dismiss the notions of God losing control or orchestrating chaos, and suggest instead, that God, with full knowledge of humanity's corrupt rebellion, chose to create our world anyway. Unravel this mystery with us as we present three conceivable explanations to this enigma, none of them definitive, but each thought-provoking in its own right. Now, let's shift our focus to God's purpose behind creation and our role in it, reimagining our relationship with the Divine through the lens of free will. With insights from Ephesians, we explore God's ultimate goal for His Son's rulership and glory, and the seemingly paradoxical notion that God allowed sin's potential to foster a loving relationship with us. Illustrated through the parable of the prodigal son, we underscore the centrality of free will to our love for God. Wrapping up this fascinating discourse, we cordially invite you to embark on this journey of renewing our mindsets with us and share in the joy of this exploration. Stay tuned for a twist of humor in the Deep Thoughts segment as we envision a world without war and hate. Gear up for an episode packed with spiritual enlightenment, a hearty laugh, and a fresh perspective! Scripture Used In This Episode: Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 1 Timothy 4:4 Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. James 1:17 Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow Luke 15:11-24 Parable of the Lost Son 11 To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. 12 The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. 13 “A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. 14 About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began Struggle to Standing Available on Amazon ... https://a.co/d/ev3YUqw Christ Alone Podcast www.christalonepodcast.com Support the show Support the Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/renewedmindsets <b

In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Rick encourages listeners to find their true identity in Christ by reading the Bible and getting to know Him more deeply.

Distractions From God
Send us a text Welcome to the first episode of Renewed Mindsets with host Rick Yuhas. In this podcast, Rick delves into the basics of what it means to be a Christian and how to implement that in our daily lives. The focus of this episode is on the distractions that keep us from fully connecting with God. Rick begins by discussing Proverbs 13:25, which states that the righteous have enough to satisfy their appetite while the wicked suffer want. He explains that there is more to this verse than meets the eye and goes on to explore various distractions that occupy our time. One such distraction is food. Rick shares his personal struggle with using food for comfort and entertainment, highlighting how overeating can become an obsession leading to dissatisfaction. He also addresses excessive shopping, particularly through platforms like Amazon, which can lead to financial strain. Another common distraction discussed is binge-watching TV shows. Rick reminisces about a time when people had specific days and times for watching their favorite shows but now easily fall into the habit of sitting down for hours on end watching entire seasons in one sitting. Rick emphasizes that these distractions are not inherently bad but become problematic when done excessively or without moderation. He explains how these obsessions are selfish, obsessive, and ultimately unfulfilling because they never truly satisfy our desires. The solution lies in redirecting our hungers towards God. Rick highlights that we all have an innate desire from birth to know God and fill a void within us. Instead of seeking fulfillment through worldly pursuits, he encourages listeners to turn towards God's Word as a source of satisfaction. Throughout the episode, Rick identifies signs of distraction from God's will such as feeling pressure to compromise or experiencing burnout due to misaligned priorities. He emphasizes unity among believers and warns against prideful pursuits or shame-driven actions. To overcome distractions and align ourselves with God's purposes, Rick advises cultivating habits that renew our minds through Scripture study and prayer. He encourages listeners to seek wisdom from God's Word and be open to change in order to fulfill His will. In conclusion, Rick urges listeners to prioritize their relationship with God over worldly distractions.
