Episode 5 Be Renewed in the Spirit of Your Mind
✨ Today’s First Steps – Episode 5
Title: Be Renewed in the Spirit of Your Mind
Host: Brother John Meador
Theme: Spiritual Renewal, Discipline, and the Mind of Christ
🗣️ Episode Summary
In this heartfelt episode, Brother John Meador explores the deep transformation that begins in the mind when we truly encounter Christ. Drawing from Romans 12, Philippians 2, and Colossians 3, he emphasizes that renewal is not just a spiritual experience—it’s a disciplined, daily pursuit of relationship with God.
Brother John calls believers to move beyond surface-level faith and embrace the disciplines of prayer, study, and surrender. He contrasts the devotion seen in other religions with the often casual approach of Christians, urging listeners to let the Spirit of God remodel their thinking and restore their strength.
