The Renewed Mindsets Podcast reintroduces the basic tenets of Christianity to Gen-X adults who may have missed some crucial information while building careers and raising children. Aimed at men and women, many of whom are divorced or empty nesters questioning if there's more to life, the podcast uses the Bible to teach in an engaging and humorous way, sidestepping traditional, boring methods of discussing God and His expectations. Filled with truth and pop culture references from the 1980s and 1990s, it helps listeners deepen their relationship with Christ and find peace by transforming their minds to focus on the things of God.

episode 6: Obedience in a Disobedient World
"Welcome to the sixth episode of our discipleship series, titled 'Obedience in a Disobedient World.’
In this episode, we delve into the profound significance of obedience in our relationship with God. We explore how obedience is not only a divine calling but also an act of worship, serving as the cornerstone of our salvation. Obedience sets us apart as beloved children of God and demonstrates our love for Him. As we embrace obedience with the primary motive of expressing our love for God, we open the door for Him to reveal Himself to us and unleash His transformative power in our lives. Join us on this journey of faith and obedience."
Leading Scripture:
Deuteronomy 28:1–14 (NLT): “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. 2 You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God:
3 Your towns and your fields
will be blessed.
4 Your children and your crops
will be blessed.
The offspring of your herds and flocks
will be blessed.
5 Your fruit baskets and breadboards
will be blessed.
6 Wherever you go and whatever you do,
you will be blessed.
7 “The Lord will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will scatter from you in seven!
8 “The Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
9 “If you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways, the Lord will establish you as his holy people as he swore he would do. 10 Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you.
11 “The Lord will give you prosperity in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, blessing you with many children, numerous livestock, and abundant crops. 12 The Lord will send rain at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens and will bless all the work you do. You will lend to many nations, but you will never need to borrow from them. 13 If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom. 14 You must not turn away from any of the commands I am giving you today, nor follow after other gods and worship them.
John 14:23–24 (NLT): 23 Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. 24 Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And rememb
