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 21: Embrace the Wait: Timing Gods Promises
Promises of God:
Have you ever felt like you were on hold, waiting for a call that never comes? That's how waiting on God's promises can feel at times. In our latest episode, I get personal, sharing stories from my own life about seeking clarity in discernment and the moments where stepping aside unlocked a deeper understanding of God's voice. We're also drawing inspiration from the biblical figure Simeon, whose story is a testament to the beauty and challenge of patient expectation. For those holding onto promises and seeking a richer daily walk with Christ, this conversation is a heartfelt exploration of faith, patience, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
Patience in today's instant-gratification world is a rare commodity, but through the biblical lens, we see its undeniable value. This episode takes you on a journey through scriptural times, from the Garden of Eden to the Israelites in exile, to uncover the golden thread of waiting woven throughout God's narrative. The Holy Spirit's role in guiding Simeon—and us—during these periods of anticipation is magnified, encouraging us to carve out those precious moments with God. If you've ever wondered about the personal impact of an intimate relationship with Jesus, let's explore how such encounters can pivot the direction of our lives.
But what about when heaven seems silent? We tackle the raw emotions that accompany unanswered prayers, drawing from David's poignant expressions in the Psalms. If you're wrestling with questions on why some prayers don't yield the answers we seek, this episode provides companionship and perspective on the journey. I'd love to continue this dialogue off-air, so feel free to connect with me for a more personal conversation. Join us as we navigate the delicate balance of earnest theological musings and the lighter sides of life, all while embracing the promises and presence of God.

Luke 2:25-35:
25At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him 26an
