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 8: Why Would God? His Perfect Plan in a Corrupt World
Are you ready to rewire your spiritual understanding? Brace yourself for a deep, philosophical dive into an intriguing question - why did a perfect God intentionally create a world destined for corruption? We dismiss the notions of God losing control or orchestrating chaos, and suggest instead, that God, with full knowledge of humanity's corrupt rebellion, chose to create our world anyway. Unravel this mystery with us as we present three conceivable explanations to this enigma, none of them definitive, but each thought-provoking in its own right.
Now, let's shift our focus to God's purpose behind creation and our role in it, reimagining our relationship with the Divine through the lens of free will. With insights from Ephesians, we explore God's ultimate goal for His Son's rulership and glory, and the seemingly paradoxical notion that God allowed sin's potential to foster a loving relationship with us. Illustrated through the parable of the prodigal son, we underscore the centrality of free will to our love for God. Wrapping up this fascinating discourse, we cordially invite you to embark on this journey of renewing our mindsets with us and share in the joy of this exploration. Stay tuned for a twist of humor in the Deep Thoughts segment as we envision a world without war and hate. Gear up for an episode packed with spiritual enlightenment, a hearty laugh, and a fresh perspective!
