As we continue to consider how the Lord can sanctify and renew our minds, we need to look at the natural divide we often place between the spiritual and temporal things in our lives. How can we abide in Christ when we have to spend so much time on seemingly trivial things like work and meals and laundry? In this episode, we'll rely on some sage advice from two old souls to learn how to marry those two worlds in such a way that the Lord can empower us in both the sacred and the secular.

During this 2020 coronavirus quarantine, life has changed dramatically. We've all lost so many things we love to do and places we love to go. But what if the Lord is actually up to something very powerful through this pandemic? What if He's using our altered lifestyle to help us see some things about our lives that we haven't been able to see before? In this episode, we'll talk about a new way to view our quarantine that could completely change the focus of our mind and heart.

In this episode, we'll talk about what it looks like to have "the mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2:16)--to be so transformed and renewed through Him, that our mind actually begins to resemble His and function like His on a daily basis. As we develop this kind of sound mind, our joy and peace and love will no longer be dependent on our circumstances, but will thrive and grow simply through our personal connection to the Lord.

In this episode, we'll continue with the story from Mark 4 that we used in our series on Fear and answer the question, "Why does Christ sometimes seem to be asleep in our lives?" As we try to reach for His peace to calm our minds, this is a question we need to have answered. I believe there are some important reasons why He doesn't always step in and take away all the adversity we may be facing. In fact, if viewed with the right perspective, we can even see these kinds of circumstances as an avenue to much-needed change in our hearts and minds.

I thought I was done with this subject after part 2 of this series, but I guess the Lord had other ideas. :) It seems we have to finish with an emphasis on the FIGHT for faith and not fear--how this process truly is a battle, and how we can interrupt our obsessive anxious thoughts and "[bring] into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5). Yes, at times the world may be in full-blown panic, but we really can truly rest in our Redeemer, even if everything is falling apart around us.

We'll continue our look at fear in this episode, and focus on some specific ways we can think differently when it comes to the storms in our lives. If we believe Isaiah 26:3 that He will keep in "perfect peace" those whose minds are fixed on Christ, then we need to know exactly how to do that. We'll talk about what it looks like to develop such trust in the Lord that we no longer worry or fear, no matter how troubling the circumstances.

If we look again at our key verse for this season in 2 Timothy 1:7, we see that a "sound mind" is contrasted with a "spirit of fear." As we consider how to move past our mental fear and anxiety to live in a place of peace, it can be hard to know where to start. Fear is such a normal response to the difficult trials we face in this life that we may not see how we could ever change that. In this 3-part series, we'll look at the way Jesus viewed fear, and the new way of thinking He introduced to His disciples during His earthly ministry.

Make no mistake--the minute we start moving toward a place of healing in Christ, our adversary will begin pulling us as hard as he can in the opposite direction. He's held sway in certain parts of our minds for a very long time, and he's not going to let us go without a fight. So we've got to identify all the lies he's been whispering lies into our thoughts to stop us short on the path. At this point, we've got to make sure there's nothing that is keeping us from the salvation and deliverance of our Savior.

As we begin to outline the path to letting the Lord heal and transform and renew the depths of our minds, we may wonder where in the world to start. Often, we're dealing with so many different issues that it can seem overwhelming. So in this episode, I want to outline 3 specific things we can center on at the outset of this journey--things that we'll keep coming back to again and again in our efforts to create a new mind through the power and grace of Jesus Christ.

Lately, I've really been wanting to explore the health of the MIND, so I decided it's time to shift gears a bit and start SEASON 2! I know we talked a lot in Season 1 about how the Lord can change and transform and heal our mind, but I'm ready to take it even further. Join me in the next several episodes as we focus solely on what's going on in our sweet little heads, and how Christ can rewire and reboot our entire inner circuitry.
