We've all got a past. But your past doesn't have to define you. Yes, you're past can't be erased, but because of Jesus, we can say, "But now..." Your past does not determine your future. Let's walk in the reality of the new life we have.

What has been the role of the minority in White Evangelicalism? This has been a hot topic these days in the evangelical world thanks to a conversion between Lecrae and The Truth's Table. According to some, it's time for minorities to leave the white evangelical community, while others believe there is enough progress being made to stick around. This, LiAngelo Ball getting arrested, and more on this week's episode of the New Rules Podcast.

If you want to achieve your dreams and goal, you need a personal manifesto. A personal manifesto is your north, your compass, your map to get you where you want to go. A personal manifesto will also keep you from getting side tracked or filling your time with things that don't matter in the long run. Learn to write your manifesto, Adrian's feelings on Halloween, and more on this week's episode of the New Rules Podcast.

Adrian's Personal Manifesto

Personal Manifesto: a declaration of your core values and beliefs, what you stand for, and how you intend to live your life. It functions both as a statement of principles and as a call to action.

Does God really care about your dreams? It's so easy to get frustrated following Jesus and yet things don't seem to be going our way. How do we live with that? Discover more on this episode of New Rules Weekly.

What is happening to institutions today? It seems that we're fighting to tear down institutions wherever we go. Institutions are any established law, practice, or custom. In America, we've got a lot of those. How do we write new rules where government, education, and patriotism have been the norm for so long? This, Adrian's beef with HBCUs, and more on this week's episode of the New Rules Podcast.

"HBCUs have a place in the future but they must pivot and become diverse in students, faculty, and thought." - @adriancrawford #newrulespodcast TWEET THIS!

"Institutions should be challenged but they're needed for the flourishing of society." - @adriancrawford #newrulespodcast TWEET THIS!

Jesus never promised us that life would be easy. Spiritual toughness is one of the ways that we can strive on and move forward when life get's difficult. This week, become spiritually tough.

To write new rules, it's going to cost you something. Lecrae has learned that recently by seeing a less than stelar week 1 album sales for All Thing Work Together and a dip in concert attendance. If you've followed this artist, you've seen how he's become outspoken on race and injustices happening in America. With it affecting his career, is it really worth it? Adrian and Billy discuss their thoughts, top books they recommend this year, who they'd like to see Lecrae collaborate with, and more on this week's episode of the New Rules Podcast.

On this week's podcast, we sit down with Pastor Adam Mabry of Aletheia Church in Boston to discuss how he has written new rules over the past 7 years in a city that's very opposed to Christianity. It's easy to make excuses about how we're not making a dent. If you want to write new rules, you've got to figure out how to bring change even when the odds are against you. This, Trump's shooting form, and more on this weeks episode of the New Rules Podcast.
