Deliverance from Hood Culture. There are some good things from the Hood Culture. However, when I started higher education, getting into the marketplace, and my career I had to renew my mind in the Word of God. Some of the laws of the heart, mindsets, and confrontation style had come from the hood subconsciously. I had to change my conflict management style, conflict resolution style into healthy & solution-based confrontation. This was a struggle for me because I used to toxic confrontation. I ended up letting everything slide which became another problem. Finding balance and direction in Christ was a true journey for me. Renewing my mind and getting deliverance from some things I learned from the culture became a daily assignment. Romans 12:2 states 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. Renewing your mind even means the mindsets, habits, and ways the hood taught you.
