Episodes

  1. SD#183: What Do Your Relationships Say About Your Faith?

    What do your relationships reveal about your faith? The world doesn't only hear what we believe about Jesus—it watches what believing in Jesus produces in us. In Episode #183 of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass explores Jesus' words in John 13:34–35 and how our relationships become part of…

  2. SD #182: Can You Celebrate Someone Else's Blessing?

    What happens in your heart when someone else receives the blessing you've been praying for? Someone else gets the opportunity. Their ministry grows. Their family celebrates good news. Their prayer gets answered—while you're still waiting. It's possible to love someone and still feel the sting of...

  3. SD#181: Are You Guarding Your Heart—or Hardening It?

    Offenses are inevitable. Hardening is not. When we've been hurt, self-protection can feel like wisdom. We build walls, distance ourselves, and determine that no one will ever hurt us that way again. But Scripture reveals a sobering possibility: what begins as self-protection can eventually become...

  4. SD#180: What is Quietly Hurting Your Relationships?

    Pride doesn't always look proud. Sometimes it looks like needing to be right. Needing to be recognized. Struggling to receive correction. Feeling diminished when someone else is celebrated. Or becoming deeply offended when we aren't treated the way we believe we should be. Pride can quietly…

    more
  5. SD #179: Are You Bitter or Better?

    Are you bitter—or better? Someone may have genuinely hurt you. The wrong may have been real. The debt may still feel unpaid. But the question isn't only what happened to you—it's what is taking root within you because of how you are thinking about what happened. Hebrews 12:15 warns us to make…

    more
  6. SD#178: Are You Offended?

    Are you offended? Maybe your immediate answer is no. But is there a conversation you keep replaying? A wrong you believe needs to be repaid? A story you keep retelling? Someone whose motives you've already decided you understand? Offense can gain momentum in our minds before we recognize what is...

  7. SD#177: What Are You Afraid Of?

    What are you afraid of? Fear has a way of making possibilities feel like realities. One fearful thought becomes another, and before long, we can find ourselves mentally living through circumstances that haven't even happened. But just because we feel afraid doesn't mean fear is telling us the...

  8. SD#176: Who's Your Audience?

    Whose approval are you living for? Whether we realize it or not, we're all living before an audience. We replay conversations, compare ourselves to others, seek affirmation, and worry about what people think. But what if the greatest battle of the mind isn't simply negative thinking—it's living…

    more
  9. SD#175: Where is Your Hope?

    Where have you placed your hope? When life doesn't unfold the way we expected, it's easy to believe that nothing will ever change. Unanswered prayers, difficult diagnoses, broken relationships, grief, anxiety, and seasons of waiting can quietly rob us of hope. But what if biblical hope isn't…

    more
  10. SD#174: Who Do You Think You Are?

    Who defines your identity? The world is quick to assign labels based on our past, our performance, our relationships, or other people's opinions. Before long, we begin believing those labels ourselves. But what if those labels were never meant to define you? In this episode of Monday Mindset…

  11. SD #173: How Are You Thinking?

    Monday Mindset Reset Welcome to a new chapter of the Seeing Deep Podcast! While the podcast has a fresh weekly format and a new name—Monday Mindset Reset—the mission remains the same: helping you renew your mind through the truth of God's Word. If you've been listening for years, welcome back! If...

  12. SD#172: Momma Mindset: The Myths of Motherhood, part 2

    Oh mommas! Happy Mother's Day! Last week we began unpacking 10 lies moms believe and replacing them with God's sweet truths. This week we finish that list. What lies have you believed and how have you refuted those lies with God's word? Listen in and be encouraged!

  13. SD#171: Momma Mindset: The Myths of Motherhood, part 1

    Oh momma! Being a mom is so very challenging, no matter what stage you are in. I confess that Norman Rockwell images set me up for shock over the realities of motherhood. But the Gospel rescued me from that expectation, anyway. If you feel like a failure or maybe just need an encouraging boost,...

  14. SD#170 Renewing Your Purpose

    Life throws us curveballs that can throw us off course and off purpose. Our mindsets are shaped largely by our environment without our being aware. Knowing our "why" or our purpose and keeping it in front of us helps us to steer and maintain a healthy, godly mindset. Renewing your purpose will...

  15. SD#169 Renewing Your Resolve

    Renewing our minds involves resolving to do so. Resolving to think like Jesus is not just a resolution of the flesh but of the Spirit. And when we resolve to think like Jesus, our suffering and problems in this life are reframed with the gospel. Our resolve is not to suffer, but to have the same...

  16. SD #168 Renewing Your Focus

    Mind renewal is not dependent upon perfect circumstances, but it is dependent upon a perfect God. What we focus on shapes our mindset and worldview. Renewing your focus takes intentionality and practice. Listen in to some tips on how to renew your focus and ultimately your mind in Christ.

  17. SD #167 Renewing Your Mind

    Happy Easter, all! Christ has risen! In Christ, we have His victory! But sometimes we don't live like it. This is where mind renewal comes in. Renewing your mind is not just a good thing to do. Don't neglect mind renewal. It affects your whole life. So why is it so hard to renew our mind? We have...

  18. SD#166 No Foolin'

    April is here! And this month we are going to be talking about being renewed! Today's topic is aptly titled, "No foolin" since April Fool's Day just passed. Did any of you get duped by April Fool's jokes? Sometimes I can be gullible because I want to believe the best in someone so I can get…

    more
  19. SD #165 Finding Your Rhythm: Tips to Help You Slow Down

    What is the cause of your struggle to find a healthy rhythm in your life? Sometimes our busyness is due to poor planning or maybe due to a perfectionist mentality that does not know when to quit. The list could go on and on. But the truth is, we don't have to be in rush mode. We choose to be. But...

  20. SD #164 Over Capacity

    Well, y'all, it has been a while. I left you in August with the topic, "what's the hurry", then disappeared. 5 years of podcasting and I hit a wall and had to pause. Are you feeling over capacity? God might be calling you to pause. Are you feeling under capacity? God wants to increase your…

    more
  21. SD #163 What's the Hurry?

    This month we are talking about Hurried Mindsets – Slowing Down and Finding Rest. The hurried mindset can get praise for all that is accomplished, but I wonder at what cost? And sometimes we will discover that being hurried actually caused us to accomplish less. Listen in as Denise shares how to...

  22. SD #162 Living for an Audience of One

    The motivation for what we do reveals who we are doing it for. Sometimes we can get caught in the trap of trying to earn man's respect which is ultimately self-worship. Let that sink in. Living for an audience of one helps us to break free of living to please others. The broken mindsets in this...

  23. SD #161 Living up to God's Potential in You

    Brokenness in this world has robbed us many times of our calling. We struggle to try and put our lives back together, but it is an uphill battle. Sometimes people simply give up. It just feels too hard. But underneath what seems impossible in our eyes is this seed of potential within us waiting…

    more
  24. SD #160 Letting Go of Limitations

    The sky's the limit! What do you think of when you hear that phrase? We tend to think of boundaries as limiting us – keeping us from something but they also keep things in and protected. Boundaries are not limitations. They are freedom within parameters that God has set. But there are limitations...

  25. SD #159 Giving a Healthy Mindset to Our Tribe

    If we were to have the same mindset as Christ in our relationships with one another, we would have flourishing families and churches. But if we have the mind of Christ, as Paul says we do in 1 Corinthians 2:16, then why isn't this the case in our relationships? Listen in as Denise unpacks how to...

  26. SD #158 The Impact Gratitude Has on our Mind

    Gratitude does not have to follow feelings. Feelings come when we choose how we are going to think. Listen in as Denise shares how gratitude can help us to shift negative mindsets.

  27. SD #157 Creating Thriving Thoughts

    This month we are talking about having a healthy mindset! This is not achieved just by saying we are going to have a growth mindset or a positive outlook, but by letting the Holy Spirit renew our thoughts as we learn about the new culture God has for our minds through the mind of Christ. Creating...

  28. SD#156 More Than Positive Thinking

    To round off the month, Denise defines the needs of our mindset battles—which requires more than positive thinking.

  30. SD #154 Putting Off and Putting On, Part 2

    We who are in Christ must put on Christ. So, how do we put on Christ? We choose His thoughts over ours. Listen in as Denise shares 5 ways we put on Christ as we learn to make up our mind. "Make Up Your Mind: Unlock Your Thoughts, Transform Your Life" by Authors Denise Pass and Michelle Nietert is...

  31. SD #153 Putting Off and Putting On, Part 1

    Putting off things is not quite as easy as putting things on. But putting off paves the way for putting on a new way of thinking. This is more than just trying to convince ourselves by willpower or by a good deed. This is like a brain transplant—where we truly learn to think differently. This new...

  32. SD #152 Protecting Our Belief System

    As we have been examining our thoughts and how mindsets are both formed, today we are looking at the significance of protecting our belief system. Mindsets that pull us away from God's thoughts. We are lulled away by degrees when we acquiesce to the world system rather than a biblical worldview....

  33. SD #151 Who Would've Thunk—Examining Our Thoughts

    Thinking biblically will be an intentional choice we need to make as we learn to discern between worldly and godly thoughts and learn how to think rightly. We need to be aware of our thoughts and so often we don't question our thoughts. Who would've thunk examining our thoughts is key to a...

    Friends, are you ready for 2022? We can go through this life just rolling with the punches and getting back up again, or face this uncertain life with His certain promises.
