Ep 181: A Renewed Mind (Part 1)

Send us Fan Mail"What really drives your thoughts? Pastor Teddy (a.k.a. Fred Kenney, Jr.) shares how God renews the mind, why just trying harder rarely works, and gives practical, Spirit-led steps toward lasting transformation. What area of your thinking needs God's renewal most?"We walk through why spiritual renewal is God’s work in us, not a self-help project, and how the “flesh” quietly trains our desires away from God. Pastor Teddy uses stories, Scripture, and practical tools to show what a renewed mind looks like in daily life and how we can yield to the Holy Spirit as the process unfolds. • Pressure to conform and why critical thinking gets crowded out • What the flesh wants and why it pushes back • The H.A.L.T. dashboard and recognizing vulnerability triggers • How desire grows into temptation and sin through a biblical lens • Body, soul, and spirit and what changes when we are made alive in Christ • Sanctification as a process, pictured through the car collector story • The Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the people of God as the means of renewal • Practical marks of renewal from Ephesians 4, including speech, anger, forgiveness, and self-control Make that covenant with yourself: "I'm gonna get a dose of the Word of God every day, at some point, and I guarantee the Holy Spirit will start to renew your mind." To find out more, check out our website at playsonword.org.FIRST STOP on OUR TOUR:SANDY COVE MINISTRIES — Family Vacation 2026: https://www.sandycove.org/family-vacation/FAMILY VACATION 2026 Offers a Variety of Packages for each of the 4 week sessions: Summer 2026 Speakers• July 5 - 10 (Joe & Denise Holman)   - Pastor Fred Kenney, Jr. - Evening Speaker and Life Coach this week• July 12 - 17  (Curtis Zackery)• July 19 - 24  (Richard Dahlstrom)• July 26 - 31  (Peter Reid)It's NOT too late to register for a remaining week here: https://www.sandycove.org/family-vacation/book-now/Recent Podcasts about Sandy Cove!Ep 176 (Part 1) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2110391/episodes/19294639Ep 177 (Part 2) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2110391/episodes/19297013Check out the rest of our Tour Schedule here: https://www.playsonword.org/calendarIf you enjoy Christian podcasts, Calvary Chapel stories, ministry behind-the-scenes moments, and biblical storytelling that sticks with you, hit play and come along.
