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 31: Patience in an Instant Gratification World
Remember the days when Jiffy Pop ruled the kitchen and patience was just part of the process? I'm Rick, and in our latest heartfelt chat, I whisk you away from our modern whirlwind of instant satisfaction to a time where anticipation was savored. Together, we explore how this hunger for the now has seeped into every nook of our existence, right down to our spiritual lives. I share stories from my own journey and from those of biblical heroes, nudging us to rethink our rush for quick fixes and instead, bask in the beauty of patient faith.
Woven throughout our conversation is the theme of waiting—how it's not just about biding time, but about preparation, strength, and deepening our connections with the divine. I delve into the tales of Joseph and David, drawing parallels to our own experiences of awaiting God's timing. Hear how embracing patience is more than a virtue; it's a strategic move in life's chess game, positioning us for the moments where faith and action align. I invite you to join this introspective roundtable, where we ponder the profound joy that comes with standing firm amidst the tides of worry and uncertainty.
As we wrap up our discussion, I encourage you to embody the idea of 'PUSH'—Pray Until Something Happens. It's a powerful reminder that transformation comes through the renewal of the mind and spirit, a concept we dive into with vigor. You'll be inspired to intertwine your faith with daily practice, fortifying your resolve and finding peace in the wait. So gather your friends, share these transformative insights, and stay tuned for more inspiring episodes that challenge us to grow, together in patience and purpose.
