Re-shaped. We Were Made for This. June 15, 2025

The one constant in the universe is change. This week, Pastor Mia helps us understand how we were made for change. God created us to be moldable, like clay, to be shaped and reshaped. Neuroplasticity, the ability to rework our brains by building new neural connections, makes spiritual growth possible.Change is constant, and so is God. As God molds and shapes us, we change but God remains the same. This theory is fundamental to understanding how prayer works. When we pray, we don’t convince God to do what we want. Instead, God has given us the gift of repentance which makes change possible.With repentance, we can turn toward God by changing our hearts, our minds, and our ways. Go allows us to repent again and again and again. This is good news for all of us who mess up. It’s not complicated. When we go astray, we can start over. What matters is that we walk in the right direction, toward God.
