Are you still living like you’re bound… even though Christ already set you free? This is Part 2!!

In this episode of Winning the Week, Kylie and Shannon unpack the true meaning of renewing your mind and why so many believers remain stuck in patterns of thinking that don’t reflect their freedom in Christ.

Through powerful illustrations, biblical truth, and practical application, this conversation will help you recognize the lies that keep you in bondage—and show you how to step fully into your new identity.

We talk about the daily practice of renewal, what it means to “put off the old self,” and how God’s Word transforms not just your thoughts—but your emotions, memories, and responses.

If you’ve ever felt like your life doesn’t match the freedom Scripture promises, this episode will help you close that gap.

Have you ever wondered why you still feel stuck even after you've given your life to Christ? In this episode of Winning the Week, Kylie and Shannon unpack the concept of a slave mentality — the residual mindset of captivity that can linger long after God has set you free.

Drawing from Rick Renner's book Everything You Need to Know About Healing and a powerful lineup of scripture (2 Corinthians 5:17, Colossians 3:3, Galatians 2:20, Romans 6 & 12), they walk through the historical parallel of emancipation and the spiritual freedom available to every believer in Christ.

You'll learn why trauma, rejection, shame, and old thought patterns are simply old clothes that don't fit your new life — and how to take them off for good.

Plus, they kick things off with some fun Winning the Week Food Hacks to help you in the kitchen!

This episode is for anyone who has felt stuck, struggled with identity, or knows there's more of the abundant life available than what they're currently experiencing. Share it with a friend who needs to hear it.
