Together, they dive deep into one of the most transformational aspects of following Jesus: mindset. Building on the recent Mindsets of Jesus series, Rob and his guests unpack why true transformation begins not with behavior modification, but with learning how to think differently. They explore how deeply ingrained thought patterns shape our emotions, relationships, faith, and response to suffering, and why renewing the mind may be one of the most important disciplines for anyone serious about spiritual growth. Daniel shares a powerful analogy from his ACL recovery, comparing mindset transformation to painful physical therapy.
