A transformed life begins with a renewed mind.

Welcome to Day 15 of The Yielded Mind – A 50-Day Journey of Reflection and Renewal.

Through Romans 12:2, you'll learn that God changes your life by first renewing your mind through His Word, prayer, gratitude, and daily obedience.

In today's episode, you'll learn why the world continually seeks to shape your thinking, what it means to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and how faithful spiritual disciplines position you to experience the Holy Spirit's ongoing work of transformation.

The conflict between the Spirit and the flesh is real, but it is not the end of your story.

It is found in the finished work of Jesus Christ, who has already overcome on your behalf.
