Renewal with Christ - Ep. 338
Linda Hutchinson and co-host Kimm Hackworth discuss spiritual renewal as the new year begins.

The Theme of Renewal
Linda and Kimm aim to guide listeners in enhancing their relationships with God and setting an intentional rhythm for their spiritual lives. They emphasize that spiritual renewal can take various forms, often requiring intentionality and the need to create space away from the distractions of everyday life. The discussion begins by referencing Romans 12:2, warning against conforming to the world’s patterns and instead focusing on transformation through the renewing of the mind.

Spiritual Disciplines
The hosts dive into spiritual disciplines, a concept introduced by Richard Foster, which includes practices meant to foster a deeper relationship with God. They clarify that these disciplines are not burdensome tasks but are meant to cultivate intimacy with God. They discuss various inward disciplines such as:

1. Study and Meditation - Engaging with the Word of God for revelation, not mere knowledge.
2. Prayer - Cultivating an interactive relationship with God.
3. Fasting - Withholding from certain things to reveal dependencies and deepen reliance on God.

Kimm shares her preference for inward disciplines and how those help in personal reflection, while Linda emphasizes the importance of balance between inward and outward disciplines.

Outward and Corporate Disciplines
The conversation then shifts to outward disciplines, which are about changing behavior to align with spiritual truths. Some key practices mentioned include:
•Simplicity - Reducing material possessions to focus on spiritual values.
•Silence and Solitude - Taking time to be alone with God.
•Sabbath Rest - Intentionally resting and trusting in God’s provision.
•Service - Helping others as a form of worship and humility.
They also discuss corporate disciplines that involve community, such as worship, confession, and accountability, emphasizing the importance of being connected with others in faith.

Family Dynamics and Legacy
Linda and Kimm reflect on how spiritual practices at home influence children. They recount personal stories from their own families, illustrating how their children observed and internalized these spiritual rhythms. They stress the importance of modeling faith and creating intentional spaces for spiritual growth within families, reminding listeners that children are always watching and learning from their parents’ actions.

Final Encouragement
Linda encourages listeners to choose one spiritual discipline to focus on for the next 30 days, urging them to reflect on what they can remove or add to their lives to experience renewal. They conclude by thanking their sponsors again and reinforcing the mission of RockSolid Families to help strengthen families in the community.

Conclusion
The podcast delivers a thoughtful discussion on spiritual renewal, emphasizing intentionality, the significance of community, and leaving a legacy of faith for future generations. It invites listeners to embark on their journey of spiritual growth as the new year begins.

Renewal is not about becoming new people as much as remembering who we already are in Christ.
Listen in as I read these words from the apostle Paul to the church in Rome. He was writing to the Romans but so much of it applies to us today as well. 
Read Romans 12:1–2 

Focus: Step 1 of renewal—stop conforming.
What Does “Conform to the Patterns of This World” Mean?

Ephesians 4 mentions some of the patterns of this world: In vs. 22 on down
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.

What do the Patterns of this world look like for you today??
Busyness = that somehow how busy your calendar is defines your worth and value

PERSONAL COMFORT-That somehow your personal comfort matters more than your character
IMPULSIVE REACTIONS-That its ok to just impulsively react rather than intentionally and thoughtfully respond
IDENTITY-Who you are is what you do
SELF SUFFICIENCY-That its weakness to surrender and be dependent on God. You somehow have to muscle up and do it all yourself.
STRIVING FOR MORE- rather being content with what we’ve been given.
Key Truth: The truth is most families don’t consciously choose worldliness—they slowly absorb it. We become kind of like a chameleon based on what or who we’re around.

Step 1 of Renewal: Awareness Before Action 
You can’t renew what you don’t recognize.
Practical Reflection Questions for Listeners:
What voices are shaping our values more than Scripture?
What patterns feel “normal” but don’t feel life-giving?
Encouragement: Awareness is not condemnation—it’s an invitation.

Advice 
Practical Ways to Stop Conforming:
Interrupt the Noise around you and Evaluate
Evaluate:
Media intake
Social media rhythms
News consumption

Ask: Is this shaping my peace or stealing it?

Practical Tip:  Try a weekly “noise fast” (one evening with no screens, just presence).
Slow Down to Notice What’s Forming You
Renewal requires margin.

The world disciples through hurry.
Practical Tip:
 Build in “pause points”:
Morning prayer before phones
Family check-ins at dinner
Sabbath rhythms (even imperfect ones)
Name the Lies You’ve Normalized
Examples:
“This is just how families are.”
“We’re too busy to change.”
“It’s not that big of a deal.”

Truth:  What you don’t challenge, you allow to shape you.

Offer Yourself Again
Tie back to Romans 12:1: Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
Renewal begins with surrender
Simple Prayer:
 “Lord, I offer You my mind, my time, my reactions, and my family rhythms.”
 Hope-Filled Reframe: Renewal Is a Process
Paul doesn’t say “be instantly transformed”
He says “be transformed by the renewing of your mind”
Encouragement for Families:
Small changes matter
Consistent choices build new patterns
God is patient and present in the process
Call to Action:
Commit to one small shift this week
Write it down!
Pray over it as a family

Closing Line:“Renewal doesn’t start when life slows down. It starts when we choose to stop drifting and start offering ourselves—right where we are.”

Introduction -

• “If someone asked you, Why did Jesus come? How would you answer?”
• “And what does His mission have to do with your marriage, your parenting, your friendships?”
• Those aren’t just questions for each other here on today’s podcast. If you claim to follow this Jesus….It’s a question we ALL have to be ready to answer. 
• 1 Peter 3:15 says “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”
• Jesus didn’t come just to save us from something—He came to invite us into something.

Key Scripture   Luke 19:10 – “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

What Was the Mission of Christ?

Core Truth
 Jesus’ mission was redemption, reconciliation, and restoration—bringing people back to God and restoring God’s design for life and relationships.

Break it down:

A. To Reveal the Father

John 14:9 – “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”
Jesus showed us: God’s love, his mercy and his truth all in one being. 

B. To Save the Lost
Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins.”

Jesus didn’t come just to  forgive our sins,  but to transform our lives.

C. To Fulfill God’s Promises and Establish the Kingdom of God

Luke 4: 18-19 but also found in Isaiah 61-

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me  to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,

to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

Discussion Prompt “How does your picture of God change when you look at Jesus?”

3. How Did Jesus Live Out His Mission?

Jesus’ Method Matters

A. He Came Close

B. He Built Relationships

C. He Served, Not Controlled

Application

• The mission of Christ is relational, not performative.
• It starts at the table, not the stage.

4. How Do We Fit Into Christ’s Mission Today? 

A. We Are Sent People

B. He’s called us to Reflect Him, Not Replace Him

C. Mission Begins at Home

So as we close…Let’s us just share some Practical Ways to Live on Mission This Week 

Simple, attainable steps:

1. Pray daily with Intention
2. Practice Presence
3. Model Christ at Home
4. Invite Others In

Reflection Question

• “If Christ’s mission was love and restoration, how will my life reflect that this week?”

In the latest episode of the RockSolid Families podcast host Linda Hutchinson and newcomer coach Kimm Hackworth engage in an empowering discussion about what it means to be a woman on a mission. 

As Linda and Kimm dive into the topic, they reflect on the previous discussions from the Strong Dads podcast, which centered around men living with purpose. This leads to an exploration of how women, too, can embrace their missions in everyday life. Kimm shares her early misconceptions that being missional meant only participating in international trips, realizing instead that anyone can live missionally within their daily surroundings regardless of their life circumstances.

They emphasize that living on a mission involves aligning one's daily actions with a divine purpose, rather than solely engaging in specific tasks. The conversation touches on the common struggles women face in the church regarding their roles and how societal pressures can stifle their willingness to step into leadership positions.

Throughout their dialogue, Kimm recalls influential women in her life, who have demonstrated resilience and dedication to their calling. Linda shares the profound impact her grandmother had on her, illustrating a life lived with faith and purpose, despite numerous challenges.

Shifting the focus to biblical examples, they highlight Priscilla, a woman in the New Testament who exemplifies partnership in ministry, and Esther, who courageously stepped into her calling to save her people. These narratives serve to inspire women listening to recognize their own opportunities for impact.

As the episode progresses, Linda and Kimm discuss the importance of community, suggesting that the isolation brought on by modern society can hinder women from sharing their stories and living out their missions. They introduce an exciting initiative: the Women on Mission online group launching in 2026. This platform aims to foster connections among women, encouraging them to deepen their relationship with God, each other, and their families.

The hosts conclude with a powerful reminder that living missionally is not about adding more tasks to one's life but about reframing one's purpose and being part of God's larger narrative. They invite listeners to reflect on the impact of women in their own lives, urging them to take actionable steps toward living out their missions.

Overall Prevalence of Depression
Current Depression Rate (Adults): The percentage of U.S. adults who report currently having or being treated for depression has exceeded 18% in recent measurement periods (2024-2025 data). This projects to an estimated 47.8 million Americans suffering from depression.

• Major Depressive Episode (MDE): The prevalence of adults experiencing at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year is estimated to be around 8.3% of all U.S. adults (or 21.0 million people, based on 2021 data).
• Long-Term Trend: The prevalence of depression in U.S. adolescents and adults increased by 60% over the past decade (based on data comparing earlier periods to August 2021–August 2023).

Illness vs Mindset - Body - Mind - Spirit- Need to differentiate these three things

Gratitude- Mental Illness caused by organic problems - Your brain and or body is ill. Hormone disturbances, injury, TBI

Need to seek out medical diagnosis through a professional. 

Mind - Stinkin Thinkin - ruminating on the negativity - a pattern of negative thinking has turned into a way of approaching life. Seeing the bad in everything. Not being thankful. Associating with negative things or activities that pull you down.

 Spirit - Spirit Led  - all thoughts have the involvement of the Holy Spirit to guide and direct our thinking.  He gives us the desires of our heart

Gratitude and Depression: Finding Light in the Shadows

Incorporating gratitude can act as a powerful mental shift, challenging the negative thought patterns often associated with depression.

Helpful Tips for People Struggling with Depression

• Start Small with Gratitude
  • Focus on the Mundane: Don't wait for grand blessings. Be thankful for the small, simple things (a warm cup of coffee, a comfortable bed, a pleasant song). 
• Mindful Engagement:
  • Savor Positive Moments: When something good happens, even if fleeting, pause and fully immerse yourself in the positive 
  • Practice Compassion: Extend grace to yourself. Depression is an illness, not a moral failing. Acknowledge your struggle without judgment.
• Structure and Movement:
  • Maintain Routine: Establish and stick to a daily schedule for sleeping, waking, and activities. 
  • Gentle Movement: Engage in light exercise, like a 15-minute walk. 
• Serve someone else
  • It takes eyes off yourself and your problems by fixing your eyes on helping someone else.
• Seek Connection and Professional Help:
  • Reach Out: Intentionally connect with a supportive friend or family member, even if you feel like withdrawing.
  • Consult a Professional: Depression is a serious medical condition. Do not hesitate to seek help from a licensed therapist or psychiatrist. 

The Biblical Perspective on Depression and Dealing with Distress

• Scriptural Takeaway: The Bible normalizes extreme sorrow and despair, showing that God is present even in the darkest emotional states.
• Effective Biblical Coping Mechanisms:
  1. Lament and Honest Prayer (Calling Out):
  2. Relying on God's Steadfast Love and Future Hope (Gratitude and Trust):

 Overview
In this episode of the RockSolid Families podcast, hosts Linda and Merrill Hutchinson discuss the complexities and dangers of toxic relationships, expanding from previous discussions on gaslighting to encompass various forms of toxic interactions. They emphasize the importance of recognizing unhealthy dynamics in relationships, be it with spouses, family members, coworkers, or friends.

Key Points

 Understanding Toxic Relationships
   - Toxic relationships are characterized by patterns of behavior that diminish or harm individuals' well-being.
   - Common forms include controlling behavior, chronic criticism, lack of empathy, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation.

   - Lack of Empathy: Inability to understand or validate the other person's feelings.
   - Emotional Manipulation: Gaslighting tactics that twist reality to confuse the victim.
   - Ignoring Needs: A lack of mutual understanding and support between parties.
   - No Change Over Time: Repeated promises of change without any real action signify deeper issues.

 Steps to Address Toxic Relationships
   - Bring Issues to Light: Encourage open discussions about concerns to combat the secrecy and shame surrounding toxic behavior.
   - Set Healthy Boundaries: Clearly define what behaviors are unacceptable and what will no longer be tolerated in the relationship.
   - Seek Professional Support: Engage with counselors or support groups to navigate through toxic dynamics safely.

 4. Recommendations for Action
   - Encourage individuals to seek help if they recognize toxic patterns in their relationships.
   - Share experiences and insights to help others who may be suffering in silence.
   - Utilize resources like books on boundaries and emotionally destructive relationships for guidance.
