Title: Discipline, Devotion, and the Spirit of Your Mind
Host: Brother John Meador
Theme: Daily Relationship with God, Spiritual Discipline, and Yielding to the Spirit

🗣️ Episode Summary

In this episode, Brother John Meador continues his series on the renewing of the mind, emphasizing that a true relationship with God requires daily discipline—not just emotional experiences. He shares personal reflections on his 50-year journey of prayer, study, and devotion, including over 2,000 consecutive days of morning Bible reading.

Brother John reminds listeners that just as relationships with people require attention and affection, so does our relationship with God. Discipline is not merely a natural habit—it’s a spiritual posture of yielding to the Spirit. Through prayer, study, and consistent dedication, we become vessels God can use, flexible and submitted to His will.

📖 Key Scriptures

• Romans 12:2 – Be not conformed to this world… but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• Psalm 119:105 – Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
• Luke 9:23 – Deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow me.

🙏 First Steps Invitation

Whether it’s early morning or another set time, make space for God. Discipline your mind to think on Him, study His Word, and seek Him in prayer—not out of obligation, but out of love. Let your relationship with God be visible in your actions, your words, and your daily walk.
