Have you ever felt like you just don’t fit in? Like you're an outsider, going against the grain, pushing back against the patterns of this world? Maybe you’ve even felt chained down by your own thoughts, weighed down by insecurity, or burdened by expectations that were never yours to carry.
Romans 12:2 tells us: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." And yet, everywhere we turn, we see a world trying to shape us into its mold—one of comfort, complacency, and compromise.
But Jesus didn’t conform. He flipped tables. He challenged religious norms. He loved radically. He served when others wanted to be served. He was misunderstood, and if we follow Him, we will be too. But is it worth it? Is it worth the risk, the loss, the discomfort?
In this episode, we’ll dive deep into:
-How the world tries to shape our thinking—and how to resist it
-What it actually means to renew your mind daily
-The cost of living counter-culturally and why it’s 100% worth it
-Practical ways to break free from destructive thought patterns
You weren’t meant to fit in—you were made to set apart.
