Episode 5 — He Is Not Finished with What He Started in Your Mind
Mental Health Maintenance Series • July 10, 2026
Wendy always pushed Raymond to write. For years he had good excuses. Then April 2, 2024 arrived, and six months later Disciple Blueprint launched — because sometimes God uses the thing you are most afraid of to get you to finally do what He has been preparing you for. That is what Philippians 1:6 sounds like in a real life. In this series closer, Raymond brings together everything from the week and lands on the most hopeful truth in the series: God began the work in your mind, and He has not set it down. Your job is to keep showing up. Also includes a teaser for the next series — Start at Home: Why Your Kitchen Table Matters More Than Washington Ever Will.
In This Episode
- Wendy’s story — the years she pushed Raymond to write, and what happened six months after she was gone
- Philippians 1:6 — God who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion
- What “completion” actually looks like in practice — not the absence of struggle, but increasing ability to navigate it with the tools God has given you
- How every habit built, every lie named, and every honest prayer is evidence that the work is still ongoing
- Teaser: Start at Home — Why Your Kitchen Table Matters More Than Washington Ever Will — coming next week
