🎙 Episode Title: Renewing Your Mind?

📅 Release Date: June 19th, 2025

🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, & Robby McKinney.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, the team dives into the story of Jesus healing the man at the pool and explores what it means to live in the reality of our spiritual freedom. Pastor Chris unpacks the idea that while transformation may have already occurred in our lives through Christ, our minds often need time to catch up. Drawing from Romans 12, Ephesians 4, and Psalm 1, this conversation emphasizes the necessity of renewing the mind, the danger of normalized sin and spiritual apathy, and the means of grace that God uses to help us walk in freedom.

Key Discussion Points:

· Healing at the Pool: How the man's healing presupposed his ability to walk, yet Jesus still told him to "get up."

· Renewal Through Scripture: Meditating on God’s word as the central means of renewing the mind (Psalm 1:2).

· Habits, Sin & Worldview: How routine sin and worldly thinking shape our reality more than we realize.

· Means of Grace: Church attendance, the preached word, Scripture reading, and prayer as tools for transformation.

Takeaways:

1. Start your day in the Word to reframe your mindset and refocus your joy.

2. Recognize that freedom in Christ doesn’t mean you feel free—it means you are free.

3. Stop expecting spiritual growth without spiritual disciplines.

4. When stuck in a rut, return to the basics: Scripture, prayer, community, and worship.
