Episode 1 — God Hasn’t Given Up on Your Mind
Mental Health Maintenance Series • July 6, 2026
At some point, many of us quietly give up on our own thought life. We decide this is just how we are wired — the anxiety, the replays, the mind that never slows down. In this episode, Raymond opens the Mental Health Maintenance series with Romans 12:2 and one of the most hopeful truths in Scripture: transformation is God’s job, not yours alone. He draws on 43 years in IT, the loss of his wife Wendy, and a Greek word that changes everything about how we understand what God is doing in a mind that feels like it can’t be fixed.
In This Episode
- Why so many believers quietly give up on their own thought life — and why that’s not the end of the story
- The Greek word metamorphoo and what it reveals about how real transformation actually works
- Why “let God transform you” is passive on purpose — and what that means for the battle you’ve been trying to win alone
- The ongoing, daily nature of renewal — and why you haven’t missed your window
- Raymond’s personal story: the IT-wired mind, losing Wendy, and what he found on the other side
