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.

The solution lies in redirecting our hungers towards God. Rick highlights that we all have an innate desire from birth to know God and fill a void within us. Instead of seeking fulfillment through worldly pursuits, he encourages listeners to turn towards God's Word as a source of satisfaction.
Throughout the episode, Rick identifies signs of distraction from God's will such as feeling pressure to compromise or experiencing burnout due to misaligned priorities. He emphasizes unity among believers and warns against prideful pursuits or shame-driven actions.
