Rylee Meek speaks in a short YouTube video about renewing the mind through Christ. She describes how personal mindsets formed before conversion can hinder relationship with God, emphasizes obedience and meditating on God’s declarations, and connects this process to changing neural pathways (neuroplasticity).
And dependent upon, you know, when you receive Christ as Savior, you've developed a mindset, right? However you were raised, however you grew up, you know, I had developed a mindset for a number of years on, and I didn't realize that until, you know, just in the last, you know, five, six, seven years of how that was hindering my relationship with the Lord, right? And it's in Christ we have freedom, we have liberty. But this is where it takes us to be able to work this thing out, right? To work out our salvation with fear, fear the Lord, right? And trembling like I want to be obedient to him. And how do I know what obedience even is? It's like I've got to read the word of God when he makes these declarations of who we are, we have to start to receive that, meditate on those things, to literally create, recreate these neural pathways in our brain, right? Our minds are continually changing. You can build. Our brains are what's known as neuroplastic. And you can build these neural pathways of how you think or why you think the way you think.
