In Episode 16 of "Can I Change Your Mind?", Pastor Ced Barnett returns from a long sabbatical to personally invite you into a relationship with Jesus Christ, and to answer the question of anyone who may be questioning their own, or a loved one's salvation, particularly if they had been involved in a church congregation at one time, but fell away from fellowship and relationship. To do so, he uses Jesus' parable of the prodigal son, as well as the story of a real-life prodigal, his late uncle, Robert "Rock" Young. Featured music: "Loves Like That" (Nathan Sheridan); "Rest In Love" (Latrese); "My Heart Has Been Restored" (Maurette Brown Clark)

In Episode 15 of "Can I Change Your Mind?" Pastor Ced Barnett uses an old Super Bowl commercial and the "Hall of Faith" chapter of the Bible, Hebrews 11, to ask the question, "Are YOU Up for Whatever?"

In a brand-new season of "Can I Change Your Mind?", Pastor Ced Barnett prefaces his upcoming series on "The REST of God" by this episode in which he takes a look at God's everlasting mercy towards the whole world by examining the story of Lot in the Old Testament book of Genesis. Even though Lot went through bad decision after bad decision, God's mercy not only saves him from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, but he is pronounced "good and righteous" in the New Testament. His story serves as a reminder of God's mercies toward us, even in the midst of OUR bad decisions. Featured music: "Mean It This Time" (J. Harris and SOW); "Hear You" (Taundra); "Great is Your Mercy" (Donnie McClurkin)

In Episode 13 of "Can I Change Your Mind?", Pastor Ced Barnett uses the passages of the Gadarene demoniac and an incident in the life of King David to explain to us how praising and worshiping the Lord "in spirit and in truth" requires a conscious decision using our mind, will, and emotions to PURPOSELY give ourselves over into the praise and worship process and experience. Featured music: "I Will Bless the Lord" (Byron Cage); "Undignified Praise" (Stephen Hurd); "I Wish" (Nicole C. Mullen)

In Episode 12 of "Can I Change Your Mind?" Pastor Ced Barnett takes a hard-nosed, somewhat graphic, and unapologetic look at the correlation between what God intended as true worship of Himself, and its illustration, that being of the sexual union between a husband and wife. He also explains about how Satan, in a deliberate attempt to distort true worship of God, did so by corrupting mankind and perverting the sexual union between husband and wife to result in the chaos we find in our world today. (Note: the podcast, though it does not contain profanity, discusses material of a mature nature, so listener discretion is advised.) Featured music: "So You Would Know" (GMWA Radio Angels feat. Angela Spivey); "Usher Me" (Bishop T.D. Jakes, feat. Arnetta Murrill-Crooms); "With My Whole Heart" (Edwin Hawkins Music & Arts Seminar Mass Choir, feat. Thomas Whitfield)

In Episode 9 of "Can I Change Your Mind?", Pastor Ced Barnett takes a look at Jesus' declaration in Luke 4:14-22 that His preaching of the Gospel was "fulfilled in our hearing," and analyzes, "Is the Gospel that modern-day man is preaching today matching up with the Gospel that Jesus preached?"

Featured music: "The Message" (Samuel); "Be Who You Made Me to Be" (Hart Ramsey); "Restoration" (The Winans);; "I Will Restore" (Kevin LeVar)
