To renew your mind is no easy task. God tells us in Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."  If we are not careful, the "patterns of the world" will have us believing lies in no time. Lies of... I'm not enough. I can't do it. This cookie will help me feel better. One bite won't hurt. I'll start tomorrow. These lies keep us in a vicious cycle of defeat. Right where the enemy wants us. We MUST break free. When it comes to freeing ourselves from the lies we continue to believe, there’s only one way out… We must renew our minds by God's strength through the power of His Word. But how exactly do you renew your mind? Join me in this episode as I welcome Christian author, Barb Raveling, to talk about how to renew your mind so you can achieve a healthy free life.
