Formed Within — Episode 2: Renewing the Mind
Where thoughts are shaped and faith takes root.

Transformation doesn’t begin with behavior — it begins with thinking.

In this second episode of Formed Within, we explore what it truly means to renew the mind and why our thought life shapes the way we interpret circumstances, respond to pressure, and move through daily life.

Using Romans 12:2 as our anchor, we slow down and unpack how conformity happens naturally, why renewal requires intentional replacement, and how repeated exposure to truth reshapes interpretation over time. We also examine a powerful comparison between physical nourishment and spiritual nourishment — what we consume consistently forms us internally, whether we realize it or not.

In this episode, you’ll explore:
• Why transformation begins in the mind
• How renewal requires replacing distortion with truth
• The connection between repetition and spiritual growth
• How daily intake of Scripture reshapes perspective
• What it means to take thoughts captive

The guiding question remains:
What is shaping the way I think and respond?

This week’s Formation Practice invites you to intentionally replace one recurring thought pattern with Scripture, and we close with a passage to sit with and meditate on throughout the week.
