Who defines your identity?

The world is quick to assign labels based on our past, our performance, our relationships, or other people's opinions. Before long, we begin believing those labels ourselves. But what if those labels were never meant to define you?

In this episode of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass explores one of the greatest mindset battles we face: believing that our past, failures, or circumstances determine who we are. Through the truth of Colossians 3:1–4, Romans 6, and 1 John 3, you'll discover that your identity is not something you achieve—it's something you receive in Christ.

If you've ever struggled with feeling like a failure, overlooked, rejected, anxious, or "not enough," this episode will encourage you to replace the world's labels with God's truth.

• In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why your identity is not defined by your past or other people's opinions.
• The difference between worldly identity and your identity in Christ.
• How false labels become mindset traps.
• A practical exercise to replace lies with biblical truth.
• Why renewed thinking begins with receiving what God already says about you.

This week's Mindset Reset: Whenever you catch yourself saying, "I am..." pause and ask: "Is this something God says about me, or is this simply something I've experienced?"

Because your identity isn't achieved—it's received.

Key Scripture: Colossians 3:1–4

Monday Mindset Reset

Welcome to a new chapter of the Seeing Deep Podcast!

While the podcast has a fresh weekly format and a new name—Monday Mindset Reset—the mission remains the same: helping you renew your mind through the truth of God's Word. If you've been listening for years, welcome back! If you're new here, I'm so glad you've joined us.

What if the greatest battle you face isn't around you—but within you?

In this first Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass introduces the biblical foundation for renewing your mind and explains why lasting transformation begins with the way we think. Our thoughts shape our emotions, our choices, our relationships, and ultimately the direction of our lives.

Drawing from Romans 12:2, Denise explores why God calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds rather than merely trying harder or behaving better. If you've ever felt stuck in negative thought patterns, discouraged by your circumstances, or unsure how to experience lasting change, this episode offers hope rooted in God's Word.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why your mindset matters to your spiritual growth. • How your thoughts influence every area of your life. • The difference between worldly thinking and the mind of Christ. • One practical step you can take this week to begin renewing your mind.

Key Scripture: Romans 12:2

Renew your mind. Transform your life.

Oh mommas! Happy Mother's Day! Last week we began unpacking 10 lies moms believe and replacing them with God's sweet truths. This week we finish that list. What lies have you believed and how have you refuted those lies with God's word? Listen in and be encouraged!

Oh momma! Being a mom is so very challenging, no matter what stage you are in. I confess that Norman Rockwell images set me up for shock over the realities of motherhood. But the Gospel rescued me from that expectation, anyway. If you feel like a failure or maybe just need an encouraging boost, listen in this week we unpack ten of the lies moms believe with 10 truths to replace those lies.

Life throws us curveballs that can throw us off course and off purpose. Our mindsets are shaped largely by our environment without our being aware. Knowing our "why" or our purpose and keeping it in front of us helps us to steer and maintain a healthy, godly mindset. Renewing your purpose will require vigilance to recognize when you are drifting from God's purpose and calling on your life.

Don't let failure stop you from living on purpose with the purpose God has for you. We can limit our purpose based on man's limitations or we can simply live on purpose no matter what the results are.

God is not held accountable for a purpose that is not of His own design. So when we renew our purpose to be God's purpose for us, we don't have to strive. Listen in for five tips to help you to keep your mindset from drifting from your purpose and being faithful to God's call on your life.

Renewing our minds involves resolving to do so. Resolving to think like Jesus is not just a resolution of the flesh but of the Spirit. And when we resolve to think like Jesus, our suffering and problems in this life are reframed with the gospel. Our resolve is not to suffer, but to have the same attitude and response to suffering that Christ did.

Suffering does not have to end in order for us to be able to choose joy. Listen in to this week's Seeing Deep podcast.

Mind renewal is not dependent upon perfect circumstances, but it is dependent upon a perfect God. What we focus on shapes our mindset and worldview. Renewing your focus takes intentionality and practice. Listen in to some tips on how to renew your focus and ultimately your mind in Christ.

Happy Easter, all!

Christ has risen! In Christ, we have His victory! But sometimes we don't live like it. This is where mind renewal comes in. Renewing your mind is not just a good thing to do. Don't neglect mind renewal. It affects your whole life.

So why is it so hard to renew our mind? We have the Holy Spirit. We have God's word. We have the mind of Christ.

Mindset woes are often provoked by life's "non-fun" circumstances. Life's mishaps are never convenient. If our mindset is dependent upon a convenient, perfect, comfortable life, we are in trouble. Life in a fallen world is not perfect. But our Savior is, and His mind is. We were never meant to live life apart from our Savior.

Don't let unbelief keep you from the mind renewal and transformation that belong to you in Christ Jesus!

Listen to today's episode and learn what is needed in the foundation of our mindsets to help us renew our minds daily.

April is here! And this month we are going to be talking about being renewed! Today's topic is aptly titled, "No foolin" since April Fool's Day just passed. Did any of you get duped by April Fool's jokes?

Sometimes I can be gullible because I want to believe the best in someone so I can get snagged by some April Fool's puns. But the most significant fooling we need to be aware of is the devil's schemes.

This is a comforting thought, right? We have an enemy, friends. And he is trying to find a way to fool us or deceive us so we will be duped to sin or be discouraged or defeated by our own minds.

In other words, don't be controlled by our own minds but control our minds and thoughts, or the devil can get a foothold and fool us.

Listen to this podcast and learn how to stop being fooled by your own self-defeating thoughts and how to fight right in the Spirit!

What is the cause of your struggle to find a healthy rhythm in your life? Sometimes our busyness is due to poor planning or maybe due to a perfectionist mentality that does not know when to quit. The list could go on and on. But the truth is, we don't have to be in rush mode. We choose to be. But finding your rhythm is possible. Listen in for tips to help you start again. And again.

Life happens. Boy does it happen. And can I just say that DRAMA happens? Drama will crash your rhythm in a heartbeat. Drama in relationships. Drama at work. But we get to choose how we deal with drama. It does not have to tank our mindset or our rhythm.

We don't have to conform to someone else's rhythm. But we can transform the way we think about time and seek to let go of the "perfect rhythm" and be content with the rhythm that God has willed for us to do in the time we have been given.
