📅 Release Date: October 2nd, 2025

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

Episode Summary:

This week on What Did He Mean by That?, we unpack the message on the power of the mind and why our thoughts matter so much in following Jesus. Together, we talk about identity, obsession, anxiety, and how to train our minds to focus on what is eternal instead of being consumed by temporary things.

Key Discussion Points:

· Identity & Belonging – Why we all long for belonging and how true identity is only found in Christ.

· Obsession & the Mind – How our minds fixate on things (good or bad) and why unchecked obsession can lead to idolatry.

· Renewing the Mind – Practical ways to shift from negative self-talk or anxiety to setting our minds on eternal truths.

Takeaways:

1.    Your mind shapes your spiritual life – What we focus on can either draw us closer to God or pull us away.

2.    Identity in Christ is key – Understanding that you are loved by God unconditionally provides stability amidst life’s challenges.

3.    Obsessions can become idols – Even good things (family, work, hobbies) can take God’s place if they dominate our thoughts.
