The Renewed Mindsets Podcast reintroduces the basic tenets of Christianity to adults who may have missed some important information while they were building careers and raising children. Using the Bible to teach in an engaging and humorous way, we side step the traditional, boring way of hearing about God; who He is and what He expects from us. The main focus is towards Gen-X , men and women, whose expectation for life at this age may not line up with what they had expected in their youth. Many of them divorced, empty nesters asking the question, "Is this all there is?"Filled with truth and sprinkled with pop culture references from the 1980's and 1990's, these teachings will help them continue life in peace, with a deeper relationship with Christ, by showing how to avoid Conforming to the world by Transforming their mind.. to think on the things of God.

episode 15: From Grace to Judgement: Excuses Not Accepted
Ever wonder why some Christians, despite following a faith deeply rooted in love and kindness, come across as harsh or judgmental? It's a puzzling paradox we're set to unravel, as we delve deep into the misconceptions and misinterpretations that might contribute to such behavior. From exploring how a sense of entitlement and a misunderstanding of God's grace can breed critical attitudes, to illuminating the hypocrisy of selectively condemning sins while conveniently ignoring one's own, we're tackling it all. And yes, we're going to challenge the oft-used excuse: "Christians are sinners too." Spoiler alert: being a sinner doesn't give one a free pass to poor behavior.
We're also putting under the microscope common missteps in the journey of following Jesus, like the misuse of Biblical verses to justify retaliation or mistreatment. This is no spiritual deviation we're okay with. It's high time we recognize that our spiritual life isn't an isolated island; it intertwines with our personal and work life, and yes, there's no room for the "it's just business" mentality in Christianity. And if you thought "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," think again because our actions have consequences, even outside the church. As we draw towards the end, we talk about the importance of lifestyle and accountability in Christianity. Because church, dear listeners, is more than a physical place; it's a beacon guiding all aspects of our lives. So let's walk this path together, striving to live a life that truly reflects our faith.
Whether you're a long-time Christian or simply curious about the teachings of Jesus, the "Christ Alone Podcast” is the perfect place to dive deeper into your faith journey and explore what it means to follow Christ in our modern world. Tune in each week for inspiring conversations and thoughtful insights that are sure to equip you in a world that is fast fleeing from God.
