TRUTH TUESDAY: Can I Put My Faith in My Mind? | Jon Rhoades

In this episode of Truth Tuesday, host John reflects on his journey of choosing a major in college and finding his calling in ministry. He shares how his mentor and youth minister played a crucial role in guiding him towards his path. John emphasizes the importance of opening the mind to study the Bible in a classroom while opening the heart to learn ministry through practical experience. He discusses the significance of discovering Jesus through personal encounters, hardships, and acts of love, rather than intellectual debates. John encourages listeners to put their faith in Jesus and His teachings rather than relying solely on their own understanding. He acknowledges the potential pitfalls of the mind, such as temptation, selfishness, and the limitations imposed by diseases like dementia. However, he also recognizes the mind as a gift to explore and know God better, citing examples of memorizing scripture, connecting everyday life with Jesus' teachings, and using the mind to teach others about Jesus. John concludes by highlighting that scientific discoveries often align with the existence of God, and he urges listeners to find peace in knowing and trusting God, allowing their minds to lead them back to Him.
