Genuine spiritual health begins with a healthy Christian mind. It doesn't begin with an experience, an internal experience, a subjective experience. But as you are able to grasp in your mind, through your intellect, the rational nature of the presentation of the gospel as it's revealed in Scripture, and the person in the finished work of Jesus Christ, and that comes through your intellect into your heart so that your mind is renewed, your heart is transformed, and your character begins to be formed into the image of Jesus Christ.
Ever thought about how faith and intellect go hand in hand? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson kicks off a new series based on Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Rick argues that being a Christian means being a thinker. He dives into the idea that biblical truths are not just spiritual but also rational, meant to be understood with both the mind and the heart.
This episode is perfect for those who want to deepen their faith by engaging their intellect. Rick challenges the usual focus on emotional conversion experiences, urging listeners to adopt a more thoughtful approach to spiritual growth. By renewing our minds, he suggests, we can truly transform into the image of Jesus Christ. Whether you're new to faith or have been on this journey for years, this episode offers fresh perspectives on how understanding biblical truths can impact your daily life.
