Do you ever feel exhausted by your own thoughts? Overthinking, self-doubt, comparison, and mental spirals can take over quickly—but Scripture reminds us that God offers a better way.

In this episode, Amber and Courtney dive into Romans 12:2, exploring what it truly means to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Renewal isn’t about trying harder—it’s about allowing God to change the way we think so we can live differently.

Key Scriptures:

• Romans 12:2 (NIV & NLT) — Transformation begins with renewed thinking
• 2 Corinthians 5:17 — The old is gone, the new has come

What Renewal Really Means:

• Renew: spiritual restoration—God making something new again
• Transform: a complete change in form and character (yes, like Transformers!)
• Copy: imitating the world’s patterns instead of God’s truth

Amber vulnerably shares how self-defeating mental monologues can creep in—“Why did I say that?” “I’m not qualified.” “They probably don’t like me.”—and how exhausting that cycle can be. Courtney reminds us that everything changes when we focus on the good: “When you focus on the good, the good gets better.”

Practical Steps to Renew Your Mind:

1. Ask God to guard your mind — protection, direction, and peace
2. Recognize the source of your thoughts — and fight lies with Scripture
3. Train your brain — intentionally focus on God and His promises
4. Rest in your identity — you are accepted, loved, and a child of God

This is a daily practice—and one worth repeating.

Challenge Question:
