Hannah Keeley explains shift four of her series for mothers: true transformation comes from renewing your mind, not adopting external fixes. Amanda Keller cut cable and embraced minimalism, which improved her marriage and finances. Keeley grounds the idea in Romans 12:2 and argues that lasting change requires internal mind work aligned with God's will.

The seven critical shifts that every mom needs to make. We're gonna talk about what shift number four is in today's show. Here's the big question. How are these average, everyday moms getting radical results in their lives? How are they able to transform their health, money, families, homes, and have fun doing it? The trick? We're not average. I'm Hannah Keeley, and I'm going to spill our secrets and answ answer your questions right now in that mom show. All right, we have been diving deep into these seven critical shifts that every mom needs to make if she's going to live the life that God designed for her to live the life of freedom, success, abundance. The works. Right, the works. Now I'm going to share with you what shift number four is in today's show. But before I do that, let me share a testimony that came in from Amanda Keller. She's one of our master moms inside Mom Master University. She said, I've been waiting to shout this out for a few days. My husband canceled the cable service. We still have Netflix and Hulu, but this, number one, saves us a ton of money we'll be putting towards debt elimination. This alone is huge because we are finally both unified in tackling this area. And two, he wants more time to help with purging and becoming a minimalist household. I cannot even begin to explain how tremendously huge this is for a family. Before Mom Mastery University, I was so angry that television was such an idol in our home. I literally almost smashed his big screen TV in a fit of rage. After plugging in, and in a specially directed time of attack, he has now completely shifted his focus. After all these years, I see more change in him as I continue to grow in knowing Jesus and loving others, especially my dearest honey. I love this. There are so many marriages that are being healed and unified through Mom Master University. Now, if you don't know, Mom, Mastery University is an online university created just for moms, designed to work with the way our brain works and the way we operate in life. And you can plug in in any of the six majors, get your certification, and grow your life. So we do have family there as one of the majors, and that is really helping moms with their parenting and also with the marriages. And I just wanted to share this with you because seeing what's happening in Amanda's marriage is so exciting. You go going from fits of rage to being completely unified. Hello. I'll take that all day, every day. Now I want to share with you that critical shift number four. We talked about number one, excuse me, excuse. I mean outside to inside. Number two, past to future, Number three, excuse to reason. Now, if you have missed any of that, please go back, make sure you watch or listen to those episodes because you need to do all seven critical shifts. Today is shift number four and it's from conform to transform. And I want to share with you, I think it's Romans 12, 2, I may be wrong. If I'm wrong, just leave it in the comments. I'm very teachable. It says, do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so you can test and prove what God's will is for your life. His good, pleasing and perfect will. Now, this passage in the Bible talks about the way the world normally responds is by conforming. So when we have an issue, for example, with Amanda's marriage, or sometimes we might have an issue with our health, or how we're managing our home with our money, whatever it is, we will typically look around us and say, well, what are people doing that works? What's that solution? What's that solution? And if you haven't noticed by now, there's like 150,000 solutions for every problem. Like, one person did it this way, another person did it this way. So when you start looking around, I was working for other people. What happens is you're taking out the variable of that intimacy you have with God. See, God has a specific way that will work with you. And when you're like, well, that way worked with that person, so I need to do it that way. Sometimes it'll work, but sometimes it doesn't. See, when we look around at the world solutions, we'll start conforming our mind to fit the way the world operates. I, I need to think this way. I need to do these things. And typically it's very short term and the results don't last because we're conforming to the pattern of this world. The pattern of this world likes quick results. We like the flash in the pan. We like the glitz, we like the glam. Typically, we don't like to spend a lot of time on doing the real work. I'm talking about the inside work. So we start conforming to the pattern of this world and looking around, seeing what works for other people. Now I'm telling you, it could work for you, but it could not work for you. Even. Whatever I'm telling you, like, seriously, I want you to hear from God, because God has a solution for you. I don't care what the problem is. I don't care if it's, you're in debt up to your eyeballs, Been there, done that. I don't care if it's, you've got this. The doctor has told you that you're going to have this illness forever. And it's tough and you don't know how you're going to overcome it. And you're getting bad results from the, you know, every time you go in for testing. I don't care if it's a marriage that you're like, you know what this is like, hanging on by a thread. Whatever the situation is, I promise you God has a solution for you. And we won't discuss, discover that solution. If we're looking around to see what the world's solution is, it may work, it may not. But God's way will always work for you because it says, instead of being conformed to the pattern of this world, we need to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Now, what does that mean, renewing our mind? All right, let me. Let me break this down for you. As short and sweet as I can. You have a body, okay, no, let me go back. Okay, I went back. Okay, you. You are a spirit, okay? You are a spirit. You have a soul. You live in a body, okay? You are a spirit. That means you. You have your spirit man in you. That. That part of you, if you've made a decision to make, Jesus your savior, you have that part of you that is the spirit of Christ in. In you. You also have a soul. This is your mind, your will, your emotions, right? And it's all inside a body. All right? You got that? All right? Your spirit is the part of you that is renewed with. Well, I'm not going to say renewed like born again, okay? I don't know if you've heard that term, born again. That's a part of you. That is God's spirit inside of you. Okay? You have the spirit of God inside of you, but you also have a soul, which is your mind, your will and emotions. Now, this is why you can be a Christian and you can be absolutely miserable. Hey, mama. We'll get right back to the podcast, but did you know there is an entire online university just for moms? If you're ready to get radical results in your life, just go to mommastery.com, that's M O M M A S T-E-R-Y dot com. Make sure you check it out and take your free quiz again. That's mommastery.com m o m m a s t e r y.com now back to the podcast. I remember talking with this one person. She's like, you know what? These people were so, like, they did this horrible thing and they were Christians. I'm like, so, like, that doesn't matter. Like, you can be. You can be a Christian and do horrible things. Like, because. Just because your spirit is born again doesn't mean your soul has been renewed. So that is your mind. We have to constantly renew our mind so it can fit our soul. Does that make sense? I want you. I want to make sure this makes sense to you. Because that's why sometimes we're so miserable, because we think that, you know, God just immediately fixes us. He does. He gives us his spirit. But if we've got to do the renewal of our mind, we got to do the mind work. So we're not supposed to be conformed to the pattern of this world. We're supposed to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. So that's how we're supposed to get the transformation in our life. If you want to get out of whatever, if you just feel like, I'm ready for more, like I'm ready to level up, I'm ready for the abundant life that comes from renewing your mind. It doesn't come from out there conforming to the way this world operates. It comes from having your mind renewed in the way that God operates. So we stop looking at the world's solution and we look to God and say, God, you have a way for me. You have a solution. And it's got to come with doing the mind work. Doing the work around getting your thoughts in line with God's thoughts says that we have the mind of Christ, but we need to transform our thoughts to fit the mind of Christ. And I don't see a lot of people doing that work. I see a lot of people, like, begging God for answers and suffering in their situations and desiring more for their life. But it's hard to. It's very rare to find the person who's like, oh, I need to do the mind work instead of looking at the world for solutions. Don't conform. Instead, transform the way we transform our life. If you want a transformation in your life, if there's something you're craving for your life, if there's a level you want to get to, then you've got to take the time to do the transformation work which comes with renewing your mind. And it says in there, to renew your Mind so you can test and prove the will of God for your life. It's good, it's pleasing, it's perfect. So according to his word, if your life is not good and pleasing and perfect, then you've got to do the mind work. You've got to do the thought work you've got to do. And that's the hard work. I call it the hardest easy. Because it's not like you're sweating it out, it's you're internally processing things. You're thinking, thinking about what you're thinking about. You're working with the way your mind works. Now we're doing this all throughout September. If you're like, what is this mind work? I'm talking about the process of self coaching, but not just self coaching the way the world self coaches. Like, yeah, you can do it. Let's think about your thoughts and get them in line and let's do this. I'm talking about the coaching that fits the word of God, that comes under his transformational power. Now there is self coaching. We do it inside Mom Mastery University. And actually, all throughout September, I'd love to invite you to do the work with us because all through September, we're diving deep into self coaching for the mom brain. And it's all in line with what God wants for you, his way of doing things.
