Renewed Mindsets: Don't Conform-TRANSFORM
The Renewed Mindsets Podcast reintroduces the basic tenets of Christianity to Gen-X adults who may have missed some crucial information while building careers and raising children.

Filled with truth and pop culture references from the 1980s and 1990s, it helps listeners deepen their relationship with Christ and find peace by transforming their minds to focus on the things of God.
