Anchored in Purpose With Pastor Carmin
Dream Again
In this powerful episode, Pastor Carmin invites listeners to return to the dreams they once held as children—before pain, fear, and life’s hardships silenced their hope. With deep vulnerability and spiritual insight, he reminds us that God never took those dreams away; they’ve just been buried under the weight of life.
Drawing from Romans 12:2, Pastor Carmin unpacks the truth that transformation begins in the mind. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” That’s not just Scripture—it’s a strategy. He shares a personal story from his time serving in the military, where he learned a profound truth: “My mind is my mind. No one can control what I think unless I let them.”
Whether you were hurt, abused, or simply told to “grow up” and let go of your dreams, this episode reminds you that it’s not too late. You can reclaim what God placed in your heart. You can think differently. You can dream again.
