We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.

Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.

As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.

Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

- Romans 12:2

One of the most encouraging truths about following Jesus is understanding how transformation actually works. When you first trusted Christ as your Savior, something incredible happened in an instant - your spirit was completely transformed. You were given new life, a new identity, and the capacity to hear God's voice and follow His ways. But here's what many Christians don't realize: while your spirit was transformed in a moment, your mind is renewed over time. This isn't a flaw in God's design - it's actually His grace. He knows we need time to grow, to learn, and to have our thinking patterns slowly reshaped by His truth. This is why you might sometimes feel like you're living in two worlds. Your spirit knows what's right and longs to follow God, but your mind still battles old thought patterns, fears, and habits. This tension isn't a sign that something's wrong with your faith - it's evidence that transformation is happening! Think of it like learning a new language. You might understand the basics immediately, but becoming fluent takes time, practice, and constant exposure. The same is true with living the Christian life. Your spirit 'speaks God's language' instantly, but your mind needs time to catch up through regular engagement with His Word. This understanding should bring you tremendous hope. Every time you read Scripture, pray, or choose to align your thoughts with God's truth, you're participating in the ongoing work of transformation. You're not stuck where you are - you're on a journey of becoming more like Christ.

Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

-1 John 1:9
