The lecture “Holy Bodies, Transformed Minds” — based on Romans 12 — explores what it means for Christians to live wholly for God, both in body and in thought. It draws especially from Romans 12:2, where Paul urges believers not to conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by the renewal of their minds, so they may discern and live out God’s perfect will.
This teaching recognizes that the command sounds simple but can feel overwhelming in practice. Many Christians, upon reading Paul’s words, instinctively turn it into a self-improvement checklist: “Stop conforming. Renew my mind. Learn discernment.” The lecture, however, reframes that mindset entirely.
Dr. Jones emphasizes that our transformation is not a self-generated effort—it is a response to God’s mercy and a work made possible through Christ’s holiness, not our own striving. In other words, we don’t achieve holiness by trying harder; we live it out as we are renewed by the Spirit.
