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 22: Persecution and Cancel Culture: A Gamer's Testament
When JM, a professional gamer known as Markinator99, suddenly found himself ousted from the Global Speedrun Association, it wasn't just a personal blow—it was a stark reminder of the broader cultural rift that's been widening beneath our feet. We open our hearts and minds in a conversation about the growing phenomenon of cancel culture, especially as it pertains to Christians upholding traditional values. Through Mark's story, we traverse the precipice between religious convictions and the societal impetus to conform, offering solace and insights for those who feel their faith is being marginalized in today's ever-shifting landscape.
Our dialogue intensifies as Milo and Cheese from GSA join in, bringing to the fore the delicate dance of balancing personal beliefs with the possibility of professional fallout. Recalling the trials of early Christians, we draw parallels to the present-day ideological clashes, underscoring the dire need for the freedom to express one's convictions. This is a candid exploration of the tension between standing one's ground amid the surging tides of cancel culture and the challenge of speaking biblical truth in a world that often seems at odds with it.
As we near the close of our episode, we extend our gratitude to Floodgate for our Theme Song and to Weston McCurry for his musical genius, which gives our podcast an invigorating auditory flair. Beyond that, we dive into the concept of Renewed Mindsets, sharing strategies for personal evolution and shifts in thinking that can have a profound impact on mental and emotional health. Whether you're from Generation X or a millennial navigating faith and identity, our reflections aim to guide and inspire through the complexities of maintaining one's ethos in our rapidly evolving society.
