On the Christian Habits Podcast, we'll talk about biblical transformation through the renewing of the mind. This is a practical, hands-on podcast that will help you break free from the things that control you: things like bad habits, idolatry, overeating, and negative emotions such as worry, insecurity, anger, and stress. We'll also talk about how to develop a close relationship with God and how to pursue goals while still keeping God first in our lives.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-christian-habits-podcast-1091476"},"episode":{"title":"New Series: How to Renew Your Mind So You Can Actually Change","slug":"new-series-how-to-renew-your-mind-so-you-can-actually-change","published_at":"2026-03-07T19:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-christian-habits-podcast-1091476/new-series-how-to-renew-your-mind-so-you-can-actually-change","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-christian-habits-podcast-1091476","url":"https://christianhabits.libsyn.com/new-series-how-to-renew-your-mind","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/christianhabits/riverside_copy_of_barb___mar_07_2026_001_barb_raveling_2.mp3?dest-id=206919","summary":"Have you ever wondered: \"I've been a Christian for years… why am I still struggling with this?\" Maybe there's a habit you can't seem to break. Or an emotion that keeps showing up—anxiety, anger, insecurity, envy, or discouragement. Many of us want to change, but we're not sure how. And sometimes we even know how to renew our minds—but we can't seem to make ourselves do it consistently. In this short episode, I introduce a brand new 4-part YouTube series called How to Renew Your Mind So You Can Actually Change . In the series, I explain what renewing the mind really means and share practical tools you can use to partner with God for real change. If you'd like to watch the first video in the series, you can find it on YouTube by searching: \"Barb Raveling renew your mind.\" Over the next few weeks, I also invite you to join me in a simple renewing-your-mind project . Choose one area of your life where you'd like to see change—an emotion, a habit, or a situation that keeps upsetting you—and begin noticing the thoughts that go through your mind when that struggle appears. When the emotion rises or the urge for the habit shows up, pause and ask yourself: \"What am I thinking right now?\" That awareness is the first step in renewing your mind. New videos in the series will release each Saturday , and I hope you'll follow along as we learn to partner with God for transformation.","meta_description":"Have you ever wondered: \"I've been a Christian for years… why am I still struggling with this?\" Maybe there's a habit you can't seem to break.
