Cold Hearts in the End Times
Send us a text The darkness is spreading, just as Scripture foretold. From systematic torture in detention centers to modern slavery, from militia violence against children to mass executions, our world increasingly reflects the sobering prophecy of 2 Timothy 3:1-4: "In the last days, terrible times will come, for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money." This spiritual decay isn't random but represents a profound shift toward selfishness and cruelty. Technology amplifies our obsession with validation rather than connection. Materialism drives the endless pursuit of wealth at others' expense. Absolute truth crumbles as Isaiah's warning plays out before us: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness." The consequences surround us – broken relationships, widespread injustice, and moral collapse. Yet amid this growing coldness, God calls His people to remain warm-hearted. Romans 12:2 provides our strategy: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind." This transformation enables us to practice radical empathy, serve selflessly, advocate boldly for justice, and demonstrate consistent kindness. Organizations rescuing trafficking victims, volunteers rebuilding after disasters, and individuals performing simple acts of compassion prove God remains active through those who choose to reflect His light. From "blessing boxes" providing food security to recovery programs offering healing, practical opportunities abound for pushing back against darkness. The choice stands before each of us: Will we allow our hearts to grow cold like the world around us, or will we stay close to the warmth of God's presence and share it with others? Your decision matters more than ever. Share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and join us next week for more unfiltered biblical truth and undeniable prophecy. Jesus is coming soon – stay watchful, stay holy, stay renewed. Listen to my friend Gayla at godslovingsacrifice.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Sabbath: Paul's True Position
Send us a text Did the Apostle Paul really teach that Christians should abandon the Sabbath? This controversial question has divided believers for centuries, but a deeper examination of Scripture reveals a surprising truth. We dive into Paul's most misunderstood passages on this topic – Colossians 2, Galatians 4, and Romans 14 – uncovering what he was actually addressing. Rather than dismissing Sabbath observance, Paul was battling false teachers who were distorting God's commandments with burdensome human regulations and pagan influences. The evidence is compelling. The absence of any major controversy about Paul abolishing the Sabbath speaks volumes – especially compared to the heated debates over circumcision recorded in Acts. Moreover, Paul himself continued observing the Sabbath throughout his ministry, making it unlikely he was teaching others to abandon it. What emerges is a more nuanced understanding of Paul's message: he defended the true purpose of the Sabbath against legalistic perversions while affirming its continuing validity for believers. His concern wasn't whether to observe sacred days, but how they were observed – not under bondage to human traditions, but in the freedom and grace found in Christ. This eye-opening exploration challenges popular misconceptions and invites believers to reconsider what we thought we knew about Paul's teachings on the Sabbath. Perhaps it's time to rediscover this divine gift – a time of rest, worship, and renewal in God's presence – as it was always intended to be. Join us as we continue our series on God's commandments and their relevance for believers today, especially as we navigate these end times.

It's a Commandment: The Urgency of the Sabbath
Send us a text The Sabbath commandment stands as perhaps the most widely overlooked divine instruction among modern Christians. With passionate conviction, this episode strips away centuries of tradition to reveal startling truths about the day God actually set apart for rest and worship. We examine the clear biblical evidence showing that the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) was established at creation, reinforced in the Ten Commandments, and faithfully observed by Jesus and His disciples. More surprisingly, we uncover the historical reality of how Sunday observance replaced the biblical Sabbath—not through scripture or apostolic teaching, but through Emperor Constantine's political maneuvering and the gradual merging of Christianity with pagan sun worship traditions in the fourth century. The implications reach far beyond which day we choose to attend church. As we navigate these end times, Revelation points to commandment-keeping as a distinguishing characteristic of God's faithful followers. This episode offers practical guidance for honoring the Sabbath in our hectic modern world, demonstrating how setting aside a day for complete rest transforms our relationship with God and strengthens our spiritual foundation. The challenge remains clear: will we follow biblical truth or human tradition? When obedience becomes inconvenient, where will our ultimate allegiance lie? The choice we make regarding this commandment may well reveal whose authority we truly recognize in our lives. Listen to my friend Gayla at godslovingsacrifice.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Join me, Rick, on Renewed Mindsets as we explore this intriguing possibility from a Gen X perspective.

This episode doesn't shy away from asking tough questions, urging you to closely examine the spiritual implications of these traditions and how they may affect your relationship with Christ. Living a holy life is not about rule-following—it's about transformation. Together, we explore what it means to truly reflect our new identity in Christ, drawing on key scriptures such as 1 Peter 1:13-16 and 2 Corinthians 5:17. We offer practical steps to embrace holiness by communicating with God, immersing ourselves in His word, and embodying His love.

Thankfulness as a Way of Life
Send us a text I was deeply moved by the story of a leper who, out of ten healed, was the only one to return and express gratitude to Jesus. This act of thankfulness is a powerful reminder that gratitude should be a constant presence in our lives, not just a fleeting seasonal sentiment. On this episode of Renewed Mindsets, Lauren and I explore the profound impact of living a life rooted in gratitude from a biblical perspective. Through personal experiences and stories from scripture, we reflect on how recognizing God’s provision during challenging times can transform our outlook and deepen our faith. We also delve into the importance of community, illustrating how the support and love of fellow believers can embody God's love during life's trials. As the Thanksgiving holiday draws near, we share our personal excitement and planning for the festivities, while also addressing how gratitude extends beyond immediate circumstances. Through a humorous parrot story and insights from the prophet Habakkuk, we discuss how gratitude should be anchored in the unchanging nature of God, not our ever-shifting situations. By focusing on God's attributes—His love, patience, and wisdom—we find inspiration to cultivate a heart of gratitude regardless of life's ups and downs. Join us as we celebrate this season of thankfulness, encouraging you to embrace gratitude as a lifestyle, fostering a deeper connection with God and those around you.

Joy Amid the Absurdity
Send us a text What happens when a society lets go of its spiritual anchor in favor of ever-changing moral codes and subjective truths? We tackle this pressing issue head-on, examining the unchecked absurdities of modern life and their impact on our mental well-being, especially among youth. By drawing from scripture, particularly the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 3:5-6, we challenge listeners to reconsider where they find their stability. Through personal anecdotes, we reveal the powerful peace that comes from placing trust in something greater than ourselves, urging a return to biblical truths in these tumultuous times. As we wrap up, join Rick for a heartfelt send-off, complete with an unexpected twist from Pasco County's nudist community and their peculiar mail delivery saga. Amidst the chaos and confusion of today's world, we reaffirm the importance of God's guidance not just in major life decisions but in the everyday moments that truly shape us.

Real Halloween Talk and a new Co-Host
Send us a text Are you prepared to question the innocence of Halloween celebrations? Join us as Lauren King and I confront the unsettling connections between Halloween's origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain and its ties to paganism and the occult. We highlight the importance of recognizing how these seemingly benign traditions can carry spiritual implications that conflict with Christian values. Our exploration underscores the dangers of engaging with the dark themes commonly celebrated on this holiday, urging believers to maintain a life committed to holiness and light. Venturing beyond Halloween, we delve into the pervasive influences of demonic forces in modern culture. Through the teachings of the Bible and figures like martial artist Ip Man, we examine how negative emotions and temptations, such as greed and selfishness, can be manipulations by these unseen forces. Our conversation stresses the significance of vigilance and resisting deceitful influences by donning the "full armor of God." By staying grounded in faith and wisdom, we can navigate the complexities of contemporary life and safeguard ourselves against spiritual threats.

Finding Light in Life's Darkest Moments
Send us a text Losing a job can be one of life's most jarring experiences, but it can also be a catalyst for profound personal growth. Join me on my journey through faith and resilience, where I recount the struggle of finding purpose beyond my professional identity. With scriptures as my guide and the unwavering support of my church community, I discovered new beginnings in unexpected places, including a fulfilling new job and an engagement to Kimmy Shirley, our associate producer and spiritual advisor. This episode is a testament to the idea that God's faithfulness is unwavering, and that even the darkest trials can lead to brighter opportunities. How often do we view waiting as an exercise in futility? By examining stories from scriptures like Psalms and James, we challenge the modern narrative that impatience is a virtue and instead highlight patience as a powerful virtue. Through reflections on figures such as Noah, Abraham, and Moses, we explore how patience is not just a passive state but a fertile ground for spiritual growth. Discover why virtues like patience, kindness, and gentleness are not signs of weakness but of true strength. Let us guide you in seeing how delays can align with God's broader plans, leading to outcomes greater than we could ever imagine.

Awakening Hearts with the Word and Holy Spirit
Send us a text What will you do with Jesus today? Join us on this powerful episode of Renewed Mindsets, as we reflect on that life-changing question posed by Pontius Pilate in Matthew 27:21-22. We examine how our daily decisions either bring us closer to God or lead us away from Him, often due to our preference for convenience over conviction. Through the lens of Jesus's heartfelt prayer in Gethsemane, we highlight the importance of full surrender to God's will, pushing aside our pride and comfort to embrace His path with unwavering trust and patience. Additionally, we delve into the transformative relationship between the Holy Spirit and God's Word in the process of spiritual rebirth. Drawing from passages like Ephesians 2:5, John 3:3, and Romans 10:17, we illustrate how the Holy Spirit awakens our hearts to faith through the Word. Lydia's story in Acts 16:14 serves as a vivid example of this divine partnership. We also emphasize the critical role believers play in sharing the gospel, trusting that the Holy Spirit will work through our words to bring others to new life in Christ.

From Hard Soul to Good Soil
Send us a text What if the state of your heart determined how you received the most important messages in life? On this episode of Renewed Mindsets, we unravel the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4, revealing the varied conditions of the human heart. From those with hard hearts, similar to a footpath where seeds fail to take root, to the shallow-hearted who welcome the word with joy but lack depth, we explore what it means to cultivate a heart that truly nurtures God’s teachings. Our discussion underscores the necessity of moving beyond superficial faith to develop a profound and transformative relationship with God. We also delve into the significance of setting aside time for spiritual reflection and Sabbath observance, highlighting how ancient believers prioritized worship amidst their busy lives. Drawing vivid analogies, we emphasize the transformative power of the Word and the need for genuine internalization. We wrap up by likening the Word of God to a "game genie" for life, offering codes for success and alignment with God’s will, inspired by Romans 12:2.

Moving to a more practical application, we emphasize the importance of living a life of gratitude daily. Drawing from examples like Psalm 106:1, Daniel 2:23, and Philippians 4:6, we highlight how gratitude was integral to the lives of biblical figures.

Faith and Works: Holiness = Heaven
Send us a text Can genuine faith exist without good works? Join us on this compelling episode of Renewed Mindsets as we tackle the age-old debate of faith versus works. Drawing from Hebrews 12:14, James 2:26, Philippians 2:12, and John 15:2-6, we unravel the complexities of how faith and works intertwine in a believer's life. We boldly address two common heresies: the notion that good works are unnecessary for believers and the false belief that good works can secure salvation. This episode seeks to clarify the popular but misleading concept of "once saved, always saved," emphasizing that true faith inevitably produces good works and that perseverance is crucial for salvation. In the episode's final chapter, we emphasize the irreplaceable necessity of holiness in the Christian journey. Inspired by 1 Peter 1:16 and other biblical passages, we urge believers to pursue holiness by remaining connected to God and turning away from worldly impurities. Rick Yuhas wraps up with a profound reflection inspired by Romans 12:2, encouraging us to renew our minds to understand God's will. With heartfelt contributions from our dedicated team and special music by Weston McCurry, this episode offers both thought-provoking insights and spiritual enrichment. Don't miss Rick's closing "Deep Thoughts" segment, which brings a humorous yet impactful perspective on living a holy life.

Be Gods Instrument: Gideon's Incredible Victory
Send us a text What if the key to conquering life's biggest challenges was simply to let go and trust? In this episode of Renewed Mindsets, we dive deep into the compelling story of Gideon from Judges 7:1-22 and uncover the powerful lessons about surrender and divine strength. We explore how God purposefully reduced Gideon's army to a mere 300 men to ensure that the victory over the Midianites would be a testament to His might, not human ability. Through Gideon's incredible journey, we see how God can turn the most daunting obstacles into manifestations of His power and faithfulness. Ever wondered how something as simple as a trumpet and a torch could lead to victory? Listen as we unpack the significance of the instruments God entrusted to Gideon. Despite his initial fears, these tools—symbolizing praise and the light of God's word—played a crucial role in guiding his small force to triumph. We discuss the importance of faith, obedience, and the miraculous outcomes that can come from following God's plan, highlighting Gideon's strategic approach and the pivotal moments that defined this biblical narrative. As we reflect on Gideon's story, we delve into broader themes of spiritual empowerment and activation. Discover the profound value of spiritual treasures over material possessions and learn how God invests in people, not things. We emphasize the importance of inner strength and anointing, encouraging you to prioritize spiritual growth and righteousness. Through this episode, we remind you that every aspect of your being can be used by God as a powerful instrument for His purposes, making you an essential part of His divine plan.

Finding Faith in Life's Storms: Trusting God's Presence
Send us a text Have you ever wondered if God truly cares when you're facing life's fiercest storms? Picture this: you're in the middle of a tempest, and it feels as though everything is falling apart. In this episode, we revisit the powerful narrative from Mark, chapter 4, where Jesus calms the storm while resting on the boat, and we explore the profound question, "Does God care when we're in the midst of our storms?" Through heartfelt reflections and personal stories, we demonstrate how a steadfast belief in God's care can act as our anchor, offering strength and resilience during turbulent times. We delve into the critical importance of nurturing and exercising our faith regularly, much like a muscle, so that it remains robust and ready when we need it most. Drawing from daily prayers, scripture readings, and weekly worship, we show how these practices fortify our faith muscle. Most importantly, we remind you that even when it seems like God is silent or asleep, He is always present with us. Jesus is in the boat with us, prepared to calm the storm in His own time. Listen in and be inspired to hold fast to your faith, trusting that no matter the challenges, you are never alone.

You Must Be Born Again!
Send us a text Embark on a spiritual odyssey that promises to enrich your understanding of the Christian concept of being "born again." Our latest episode delves into the heart of Jesus's plan for salvation, a transformative process that encompasses repentance, baptism, and the reception of the Holy Spirit. We explore the profound implications of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and John 3:3, elucidating how these sacred texts underpin the rebirth of believers and their passage into the Kingdom of God. It's more than a theological concept; it's a personal journey that mirrors the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, a path that leads to a profound metamorphosis of the spirit. But our conversation doesn't end at rebirth. We also tackle the dynamic relationship between faith and actions, inspired by James 2 and the lived examples of the earliest Christians and apostles. True faith isn't passive belief; it's vividly demonstrated through the acts of repentance, baptism, and embracing the Holy Spirit—actions that constitute a complete, heartfelt embrace of the Gospel. Guided by the assurance that Scripture is authored by God Himself, we're challenged to live out our faith through righteous acts and good works. So, if you're ready to deepen your comprehension of these foundational truths and witness how they're not merely doctrines but life-changing realities, tune in for an episode that will inspire your spiritual journey.

Signs of the End Times: Prophecy, Israel, and Our Renewed Faith
Send us a text Have you ever wondered if the unprecedented events shaking our world are more than mere coincidences? This week on Renewed Mindsets, we peel back the layers of Biblical prophecy to uncover how today's headlines might just be the celestial signs foretelling the return of Jesus. From my own spiritual awakening to the unfolding of ancient scriptures, we'll connect the dots between the prophecies in the Book of Daniel and the rapid technological advances that have transformed our society—echoing the once-dismissed predictions of Sir Isaac Newton on human knowledge surpassing divine wisdom. The spotlight then shifts to the enigmatic land of Israel, whose very existence and history are tightly woven into end times prophecy. Amidst a culture where the term 'woke' has come to symbolize a departure from traditional values, I question the blurred lines in today's 'woke church' that often embrace sin under the guise of modernity. As we recount the miraculous birth of Israel and the prophetic return of its people, I present evidence that may very well position our generation as witnesses to the Messiah's second advent. Our journey culminates with the essence of Christian faith—salvation through unwavering belief in Jesus Christ. I lay bare the transformation that true faith should engender, challenging the complacency that sometimes creeps into our spiritual lives. It's a clarion call to embrace the Holy Spirit, renew our spirits, and prepare with earnestness for what many believe are the final days before Jesus' triumphant return. Join me, Rick, as we confront these profound topics with reverence, seeking to inspire and ignite a renewal within.

BONUS: Love Like Jesus
Send us a text Have you ever witnessed a love so selfless, it moved you to the core? My latest musings tackle the profound essence of Christian love, contrasting it with our modern-day culture's emphasis on self-interest. Through a series of Bible stories and personal reflections, I, Rick, delve into the radical love Jesus demonstrated—actions purely driven by compassion without seeking anything in return. From feeding the 5,000 to healing the sick, Jesus set a precedent for us all. But it's not just about grand gestures; it's about letting love infuse every action of our daily lives, as urged by 1 Corinthians 16:14, a scripture that has deeply resonated with me. This episode brings you into the heart of what it means to practice such love in real-life scenarios. I'll share a touching story of a friend's mother whose commitment to her aging parent exemplifies selfless devotion. Her story is one of many that challenge us to look beyond our convenience to truly embody this Christ-like love. Together, let's embark on a journey to discover how we can better serve others with a compassionate heart and be a living testament to the scripture that commands us to let all that we do be done in love. So, tune in, and join me as we seek to transform our approach to love, one act of kindness at a time.

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.

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.

Showing the Grace of God
Send us a text Have you ever found yourself grappling with the tension between showing grace and standing firm in truth? Join me, Rick, on Renewed Mindsets, as I share a stirring personal story that brings us face-to-face with this dilemma. We'll explore the transformative power of grace — a force that moves us beyond the comfort of a free pass and into the realm of genuine change and confrontation with sin. Inspired by the life of Jesus Christ, we unpack the critical balance of grace and truth, scrutinizing our culture's diluted interpretation of grace and rediscovering its role in our spiritual growth and accountability within the Christian community. So, grab your coffee and prepare to embrace grace in a way that aligns with God's loving discipline and our own personal development. In a riveting segment titled "Pick a Hill," I delve into the profound essence and respect of names, particularly within the sphere of faith. We'll reflect on the awe surrounding God's name in Hebrew culture and the life-altering implications of invoking the name of Jesus. I'll break down the true meaning behind taking the Lord's name in vain, journeying beyond clichéd expressions to the depth of our heart cries to God. Moreover, we'll discuss the foundational role of God's grace, as per 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, distinguishing salvation through grace from the works we do out of gratitude and love for God.

The Headless Chicken's Guide to Church Wisdom
Send us a text Have you ever heard the one about the chicken that lived without a head? It's not just a quirky anecdote; it's the real-life story of Mike, a chicken who survived 18 months post-decapitation back in 1945. On the latest episode of Renewed Mindsets, we take you on a journey to explore how Mike's unusual tale casts a fresh lens on the dynamics of community and the power of unity within the Body of Christ. We'll chuckle together over this extraordinary piece of history while unpacking the profound spiritual parallels it presents. Especially for you Gen Xers and Millennials, this episode promises to resonate, showing how every one of us can make a vital contribution to our faith communities, just like every part of the body plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. As we commemorate Mike's undying spirit, we also delve into the lasting impact of unity and the way a small Colorado town continues to celebrate his legacy. Their collective memory mirrors the interconnectedness that strengthens the church and broadens Christ's message of love and redemption. But beware, for this episode also tackles the slippery slope of pastor-centric congregations, reminding us that while leadership is key, the church must orbit around Christ, not charismatic figures. With references to scriptures like 1 Corinthians 12:12 and Matthew 6:24, I encourage listeners to nurture a vibrant, Christ-centered community that's brimming with love, grace, and truth.

Resist the Devil: Standing Firm in Faith and True Tolerance
Send us a text Could the devil truly compel us to act against our better judgment? Our latest exploration dives into the murky depths of spiritual warfare and personal accountability. Join us as we challenge the all-too-convenient excuse "the devil made me do it," unearthing the scriptural truths nestled within 1 Peter 5:8-9. There's a battle being fought for our souls, and it's not without its strategies for those willing to listen—strategies that involve discernment in our media consumption and the company we keep. As we navigate the complexities of a society often at odds with faith, we extend a hand to fellow believers, especially Gen Xers and Millennials, to remain anchored in their convictions amidst the tumultuous sea of cultural shifts. Tolerance isn't just a buzzword—it's a battleground where the lines between acceptance and agreement are increasingly blurred. In this episode, we scrutinize the evolving definitions of this term and how they clash with Christian doctrine. Is it possible to be a follower of Christ and still practice true tolerance in today's world? We unpack the paradoxes and pressures faced by the faithful, advocating for a response that is steeped in love and grace without sacrificing the tenets of our belief. It's a call to arms, not of weaponry, but of unwavering faith and love, as we address the skepticism and critiques aimed at Christianity in the modern era.

Through scripture, we're reassured of God's steadfast presence and His will rooted in love, compassion, and diligence. The shared experiences of the faithful serve as a testament—often it's only in retrospect that we perceive His guiding hand through the ebbs and flows of our personal odysseys.

Send us a text Discover the profound lessons that emerge from the aftermath of the great flood as we navigate the transformative directives handed down to Noah and his family. Join me, Rick, on Renewed Mindsets, where we unravel the story of humanity's second chance, the divine mandate to replenish the earth, and the unprecedented permission to consume meat. We ponder the ecological and ethical ramifications of this new world order, where the animal kingdom now harbors fear of mankind, and reflect on the delicate balance of creation that was recalibrated in the wake of cataclysmic change. Venture further as we interpret the enduring covenant between God and all living creatures, symbolized by the vibrant arc of the rainbow. This episode delves into God's measures to secure a more hopeful future for His creation, contrasting the self-absorbed attitudes of contemporary society with the moral decay of Noah's era. As we dissect these ancient texts, the dialogue invites a deeper appreciation for the steadfastness of divine promises and the significance of maintaining respect and obedience to God's sovereignty, drawing powerful parallels to the challenges we face in today's world. Lastly, we dissect the sobering tale of Noah's intoxication and the subsequent curse of Ham, probing beyond the surface to uncover lessons on authority, family integrity, and the ramifications of alcohol misuse. By contemplating the wisdom imparted through Proverbs, our discussion exposes the stark consequences of our choices, challenging us to uphold godly behavior in a world that often forgets the value of temperance and honor.

Through an encounter with the bewildering scene at the empty tomb, as described in Mark 16:1-8, we witness the shift from dismay to divine purpose, a journey not unlike our own search for clarity. I'll share why this biblical moment is a touchstone for anyone feeling adrift, reinforcing that, amidst life's trials, the fortitude and solace Jesus provides can lead us to a place of unshakeable faith and action. Resurrection Sunday isn't a time for chocolate bunnies and egg hunts; it's a period steeped in profound spiritual Truth and transformation.

PodSwap- Christ Alone Podcast: Is Jeffrey Dahmer in Heaven?
Send us a text Is Jeffrey Dahmer in Heaven? Could the story of a man as notorious as Jeffrey Dahmer hold a lesson profound enough to shake the very foundations of our faith? That's the question Angie and Stephens from the Christ Alone Podcast help us explore as they join us on a temporary detour from our usual programming. While I, Rick, take a well-deserved break, our guest hosts delve into the harrowing tale of Dahmer's grisly past and the redemptive narrative that unfolded in the hands of his baptizing pastor. This episode is not for the faint of heart, as it confronts us with a narrative that pushes the boundaries of Christian beliefs about redemption and shines a light on the power of spiritual transformation in even the darkest of places. As we gear up for my return next week, timed with the solemnity of Resurrection Sunday, Angie and Stephens guide us through a reflection on the universal nature of sin and the salvation that Christianity promises. They dare to compare the seemingly incomparable: a trivial lie with acts of unspeakable evil, highlighting the Christian doctrine that any sin creates a chasm between humanity and divine perfection. This powerful conversation examines the eternal versus temporal consequences of sin, the sincerity of Dahmer's conversion, and the ultimate judgment that resides with a higher authority. Prepare for an episode that not only challenges but also invites us to understand the transformative impact of faith and the boundless capacity for grace.

Spiritual Warfare: Win The Battles
Send us a text The raw ache of recent waring is a vivid reminder that our struggles aren't just emotional, they're spiritual. As I navigated this personal tempest, I uncovered the often invisible warfare happening within our spiritual lives. This episode is a candid sharing of that journey, unpacking the layers of spiritual combat and the strategies we must adopt to claim victory. We traverse the battlefield of the soul, armed with a seven-step guide drawn from scriptural insights such as Acts 1:8 and Ephesians 6:11-17. I passionately discuss how crucial it is to don the full armor of God, wield the 'sword of the Spirit', and keep the flame of prayer burning to fortify our defense against these unseen forces. Stepping further into the fray, we examine the gifts and maneuvers vital for spiritual conquest. Here, the emphasis is on the Word of God as our primary weapon against falsehoods, backed by the piercing truth of Hebrews 4:12. But it's not just about defense; the episode highlights the offensive power of praise and obedience, drawing from the deep wells of Psalm 22:3 and James 4:7. We confront the devil's schemes and celebrate the transformative power of the blood of Christ and the weight of our testimony, referencing Revelation 12:11. Join me as we approach this spiritual warfare not as victims but as victors, confidently stepping into the authority we have as believers to overcome life's spiritual skirmishes.

We've all encountered moments when the ground beneath us seems to crumble—spirits dampened, hope teetering on the brink. In this heart-to-heart, he dissects the thin line separating everyday challenges from targeted spiritual onslaughts, guided by stories of resilience like Elijah's. By holding up the mirror to our own lives, we can see the reflection of God's unwavering truth as our beacon.

Persecution and Cancel Culture: A Gamer's Testament
Send us a text 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.

Embrace the Wait: Timing Gods Promises
Send us a text 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. Scripture References: 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 26and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, 28Simeon was there.

Witchcraft, Cults and Domination: Church Control Thru Leadership Sorcery
Send us a text Has the modern church unwittingly opened its doors to the very practices it once condemned? Join us on Renewed Mindsets as we bravely confront the insidious creep of witchcraft into our culture and, shockingly, into Christian congregations. We're peeling back the layers of society's fascination with the occult, from its early depiction in pop culture to its contemporary, more digestible forms in today's entertainment. This episode is a call to arms for believers struggling to discern right from wrong in a world where such distinctions are increasingly obscured, to hold fast to spiritual integrity and scriptural truth. Our conversation ventures into the biblical narratives of Peter's misguided efforts to shield Jesus from harm and the serpent's beguiling offer in Eden, scrutinizing the underlying desires for control and power that disguise themselves as harmless or even helpful. The allure of magic and witchcraft, as innocuously portrayed in series like Harry Potter, is put under the microscope, revealing how such representations could be quietly reshaping our moral compass. We invite you to tune in and equip yourself with the discernment needed to navigate these tumultuous waters, remaining anchored in faith amidst society's swift and disorienting currents.

The Rapture: Return of the King
Send us a text Embark on a journey through the awe-inspiring narrative of Christianity's ultimate hope: the second coming of Jesus Christ. With vivid parallels drawn from the 'Return of the King' in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, we delve into the biblical promise of Christ's return—an event shrouded in glory, heralded by angels, and marked by divine judgment. The grandeur of this prophesied moment is laid bare, as we discuss the scriptural vision of the world's division into the faithful and the faithless, the sheep and the goats. This segment promises to transport you into the heart of Christian eschatology, unearthing the profound implications for our future and reshaping our understanding of the world's destiny. Then, we navigate the essential Christian ethos of service, reminiscent of Christ's own ministry. Through simple, yet impactful acts of kindness, believers mirror the humility and magnanimity of Jesus, ultimately glorifying Him. We dissect the surprising twist of the Gospel—that in serving the least of these, we serve Christ Himself—as depicted in Matthew 10:42. But it's not without a cautionary tale, for those who turn away from this calling face an eternity apart from God. This episode is a clarion call to action, urging listeners to adopt a life of service and to recognize the eternal significance of every act of kindness.

Send us a text As the world shifts beneath our feet, Rick with the profound insights of Dr. Johnny Walker, tackles the pressing issue of the church's fading influence and the critical importance of discipleship in molding today's believers. Discover the transformative power of redefining church not just as a destination but as our very identity, and learn how this perspective can revolutionize our approach to faith and community. Our candid conversation sheds light on why younger generations are slipping through the church's grasp and how we can weave the gospel into our actions to meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Prepare to be challenged, as we confront the hard truths about traditional church practices and their effectiveness in nurturing true disciples who can carry the torch of faith into the marketplace and beyond. Dr. Johnny Walker joins me in a frank discussion on the intersection of contemporary culture and church life, examining the reasons behind the church's struggle to resonate with the digital generation. We're compelled to ask: Are we genuinely living out our faith in a way that impacts those around us? The episode delves into the compelling engagement Jordan Peterson commands through his authentic approach to biblical teachings, urging us to embrace transparency within our own faith communities. As we navigate these complex issues, we underscore the importance of shifting from a teaching-centric model to an active facilitation of discipleship, empowering believers to become influential disciplers themselves. This episode is an invitation to church leaders and members alike to reconsider the structures and strategies of discipleship, ensuring that the church remains a beacon of hope and guidance in an ever-changing world.

Send us a text Have you ever found yourself questioning the relevance of church in our fast-paced, digital world? Join me, Rick Yuhas, as I sit down with leadership coach Dr. Johnny Walker to tackle this and many other provocative questions about modern church dynamics. With a friendship spanning three decades, Dr. Walker and I share more than just laughs; we share a passion for reinvigorating the spiritual community. This episode promises a deep exploration into why church attendance has taken a backseat for many and how we can inspire a comeback that resonates with today's society. Our conversation takes an unexpected turn when we reminisce about a pivotal meal with Pastor Mike, which turned out to be a prelude to the pandemic's push for online ministry. We grapple with the reality that discipleship doesn't always need a pew and a pulpit. Instead, we reveal the successes and hurdles of cultivating faith through the pixels of our screens. By discussing the implementation of small, virtual groups, we shed light on how churches can effectively shepherd their flock in the digital grasslands of our time. We wrap up this episode with a look at the fine line churches walk between preserving tradition and embracing change, inspired by the likes of George Barna and C.S. Lewis. Dr. Walker and I dissect the reluctance of churches to adapt and the effects on their community clout. We propose a vision for churches that focuses on equipping believers to live out their faith every day, nurturing a familial atmosphere that extends far beyond Sunday mornings.

Send us a text Are you managing your money, or is it managing you? Tune in as I, Rick, unravel the spiritual threads woven into the fabric of finance on the Renewed Mindset show. This week, I peel away the common misconceptions that surround money, guiding you through the biblical lens of fiscal responsibility. We'll dissect the very notion that money is a root of all evil to reveal the transformative truth that it is our love for it that can lead us astray. Together, by exploring the profound lessons from the parable of the prodigal son among other teachings, we'll witness firsthand the impact of money management on our spiritual walk. In this heart-to-heart, I lay out the divine blueprint for mastering money matters, from spending less than you earn to embracing the spirit of generosity. Every verse and parable discussed is a step closer to turning financial resources into fountains of joy and peace. I'll also share personal recommendations for two podcasts that perfectly complement our journey: 'God's Loving Sacrifice' for those seeking serenity through scripture, and 'Wisdom for the Day Proverbs in 2024', where I offer daily nuggets of biblical wisdom.

From Grace to Judgement: Excuses Not Accepted
Send us a text Ever wonder why some Christians, despite following a faith deeply rooted in love and kindness, come across as harsh or judgmental? It's a puzzling paradox we're set to unravel, as we delve deep into the misconceptions and misinterpretations that might contribute to such behavior. From exploring how a sense of entitlement and a misunderstanding of God's grace can breed critical attitudes, to illuminating the hypocrisy of selectively condemning sins while conveniently ignoring one's own, we're tackling it all. And yes, we're going to challenge the oft-used excuse: "Christians are sinners too." Spoiler alert: being a sinner doesn't give one a free pass to poor behavior. We're also putting under the microscope common missteps in the journey of following Jesus, like the misuse of Biblical verses to justify retaliation or mistreatment. This is no spiritual deviation we're okay with. It's high time we recognize that our spiritual life isn't an isolated island; it intertwines with our personal and work life, and yes, there's no room for the "it's just business" mentality in Christianity. And if you thought "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," think again because our actions have consequences, even outside the church. As we draw towards the end, we talk about the importance of lifestyle and accountability in Christianity. Because church, dear listeners, is more than a physical place; it's a beacon guiding all aspects of our lives. So let's walk this path together, striving to live a life that truly reflects our faith.

Send us a text Do you ever feel like you're just coasting in your spiritual life, stuck in a rut of complacency? Let's change that. Let's get to the heart of the matter by drawing a line in the sand between complacency and contentment. Complacency, with its self-sufficiency and skewed self-perceptions, can leave us spiritually stale. But contentment? That's where the joy and growth bloom, as we uncover the four telltale signs of complacency that might be sidelining your spiritual growth. Together, we'll explore the importance of continual dependence on God and discover practical ways to keep complacency from taking root. Complacency, however, isn't just an individual issue. It can seep into the very fabric of our churches, stifling growth and progress. So, let's roll up our sleeves and tackle this issue head-on. We'll talk about ways to communicate the spiritual insights God is speaking to us, maybe through a blog, a podcast, or even a YouTube channel. We'll also identify five key signs of church complacency - from our reluctance to face challenges, to being content with past successes, and more. It's time to open our minds to fresh ideas, and not let pride barricade our progress. Let's dream, let's strive, and let's invigorate the future of our churches.

Understanding Salvation: Being Born Again
Send us a text Ever wondered about the concept of being born again and the significant role it plays in the Christian faith? Well, let me assure you, we've got you covered in this week's episode of Renewed Mindsets. We take a deep, insightful look at this often misunderstood term and break it down into three comprehensible steps: dying spiritually with Christ on the cross, symbolically burying our old selves through baptism, and rising spiritually new as Christ did from the dead. From the story of Nicodemus to the clear-cut truth that being born again is not just a mental acknowledgement but active participation in following Jesus and his teachings, this episode is jam-packed with enlightening revelations. What really is the essence of repentance, baptism, and salvation in the Christian faith? This is another juicy topic we'll be tackling. We'll guide you through the intricate role of Christs blood and water in cleansing our sins, and demystify the common misconceptions surrounding salvation. By drawing parallels to Old Testament practices of sacrifice and purification, we'll lay out a clear understanding of the gospel as taught by Jesus, Peter and Paul and the vital importance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Furthermore, we'll illustrate the significance of this understanding and obedience in salvation, using the example of the thief on the cross. Don't miss out on this revelatory discussion!

Send us a text Ready to challenge your understanding of Christianity? Brace yourself as we embark on a journey to unveil the truth of Christianity and debunk the theories that question its validity. We'll break down our exploration into three critical aspects - the identity of Jesus, the rational compatibility of Christianity, and the questionable verifiability of other religious systems. We don't just scratch the surface; we dig deep to unearth the evidence for Jesus' divinity, miracles, and resurrection, as well as the historical and archaeological backup for the Bible. But we're not stopping there! Hold onto your seats as we plunge into the intriguing world of comparative religion. You might be wondering, how does Christianity hold up against religions like Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or the New Age movement? Well, we're going to tackle that head-on, dissecting the claims of these faiths and laying bare the reasons they can't be verified or lack rationality. We'll show you why Christianity, deeply rooted in the person of Jesus, stands tall amidst these faiths with the truth and evidence of God's inspiration. So, brace yourself for a thought-provoking discussion that will not only enlighten but also reinforce your faith in Christianity.

Why Would God? His Perfect Plan in a Corrupt World
Send us a text Are you ready to rewire your spiritual understanding? Brace yourself for a deep, philosophical dive into an intriguing question - why did a perfect God intentionally create a world destined for corruption? We dismiss the notions of God losing control or orchestrating chaos, and suggest instead, that God, with full knowledge of humanity's corrupt rebellion, chose to create our world anyway. Unravel this mystery with us as we present three conceivable explanations to this enigma, none of them definitive, but each thought-provoking in its own right. Now, let's shift our focus to God's purpose behind creation and our role in it, reimagining our relationship with the Divine through the lens of free will. With insights from Ephesians, we explore God's ultimate goal for His Son's rulership and glory, and the seemingly paradoxical notion that God allowed sin's potential to foster a loving relationship with us. Illustrated through the parable of the prodigal son, we underscore the centrality of free will to our love for God. Wrapping up this fascinating discourse, we cordially invite you to embark on this journey of renewing our mindsets with us and share in the joy of this exploration. Stay tuned for a twist of humor in the Deep Thoughts segment as we envision a world without war and hate. Gear up for an episode packed with spiritual enlightenment, a hearty laugh, and a fresh perspective! Scripture Used In This Episode: Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 1 Timothy 4:4 Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. James 1:17 Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow Luke 15:11-24 Parable of the Lost Son 11 To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. 12 The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. 13 “A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. 14 About the time his money ran out, a great f Listen to my friend Gayla at godslovingsacrifice.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Obedience in a Disobedient World
Send us a text "Welcome to the sixth episode of our discipleship series, titled 'Obedience in a Disobedient World.’ In this episode, we delve into the profound significance of obedience in our relationship with God. We explore how obedience is not only a divine calling but also an act of worship, serving as the cornerstone of our salvation. Obedience sets us apart as beloved children of God and demonstrates our love for Him. As we embrace obedience with the primary motive of expressing our love for God, we open the door for Him to reveal Himself to us and unleash His transformative power in our lives. Join us on this journey of faith and obedience." Leading Scripture: Deuteronomy 28:1–14 (NLT): “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. 2 You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God: 3 Your towns and your fields will be blessed. 4 Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be blessed. 5 Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be blessed. 6 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed. 7 “The Lord will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will scatter from you in seven! 8 “The Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. 9 “If you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways, the Lord will establish you as his holy people as he swore he would do. 10 Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you. 11 “The Lord will give you prosperity in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, blessing you with many children, numerous livestock, and abundant crops. 12 The Lord will send rain at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens and will bless all the work you do. You will lend to many nations, but you will never need to borrow from them. 13 If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top a Listen to my friend Gayla at godslovingsacrifice.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. NLT Ephesians 1:3-14 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Determining Our Identity in Christ
Send us a text Rick reads from Proverbs 21:2 and discusses our true identity in Christ. What it is, what it isn't and how to know the difference. Rick discusses the topic of identity and how it is often defined by worldly things such as appearance, success, or affiliations. He emphasizes that our true identity comes from God and is a gift given to us. Rick explains that our identity in Christ connects us to God and other Christians. He also highlights different aspects of our identity in Christ such as being dependent on God, weak without Him, forgiven sinners, children of God, refugees in need of His safety, sheep in His flock, servants for life, submitters to Jesus, and worshipers. Rick encourages listeners to find their true identity in Christ by reading the Bible and getting to know Him more deeply. He concludes with a message of gratitude for his listeners' support and invites them to share their feedback and stories on his website.

Distractions From God
Send us a text Welcome to the first episode of Renewed Mindsets with host Rick Yuhas. In this podcast, Rick delves into the basics of what it means to be a Christian and how to implement that in our daily lives. The focus of this episode is on the distractions that keep us from fully connecting with God. Rick begins by discussing Proverbs 13:25, which states that the righteous have enough to satisfy their appetite while the wicked suffer want. He explains that there is more to this verse than meets the eye and goes on to explore various distractions that occupy our time. One such distraction is food. Rick shares his personal struggle with using food for comfort and entertainment, highlighting how overeating can become an obsession leading to dissatisfaction. He also addresses excessive shopping, particularly through platforms like Amazon, which can lead to financial strain. Another common distraction discussed is binge-watching TV shows. Rick reminisces about a time when people had specific days and times for watching their favorite shows but now easily fall into the habit of sitting down for hours on end watching entire seasons in one sitting. Rick emphasizes that these distractions are not inherently bad but become problematic when done excessively or without moderation. He explains how these obsessions are selfish, obsessive, and ultimately unfulfilling because they never truly satisfy our desires. 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. To overcome distractions and align ourselves with God's purposes, Rick advises cultivating habits that renew our minds through Scripture study and prayer. He encourages listeners to seek wisdom from God's Word and be open to change in order to fulfill His will. In conclusion, Rick urges listeners to prioritize their relationship with God over worldly distractions.
