Renewed Minds in a Post-Truth Culture
Author: Dave Jenkins
Show: Contending for the Word
Scripture: Romans 12:1–2
Episode Summary
Every day, Christians are being shaped by competing voices. Social media, entertainment, news, universities, influencers, and false teachers all seek to shape how people think about God, truth, identity, morality, and purpose.
In Romans 12:1–2, Paul calls believers not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewal of their minds. This transformation is not self-improvement, positive thinking, or the pursuit of extraordinary experiences. It is the gracious work of God as the Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to conform His people to the image of Christ.
In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why right living flows from right believing, why Christians must resist worldly patterns of thought, and how Scripture, faithful preaching, and the local church help believers grow in discernment and stand firm against deception.
