Reconstruction Series [Part 3 of 3]: Is There A Case For The Resurrection?

For twelve years I walked away from my faith. When I finally came back, I didn’t start with feelings…I started with facts and research. If Jesus really rose from the dead, then everything He said matters. If He didn’t, then none of it does. So I began where any honest reconstruction has to begin: did Jesus actually die, get buried, and rise again? This is the third and final part of my reconstruction series. You can reference Part I [https://www.thedandelionreport.com/p/reconstruction-series-part-1-of-3] and Part II [https://www.thedandelionreport.com/p/reconstruction-series-part-2-of-3] first if you haven’t caught up. Listen now or watch on YouTube. Notes from the show: Jesus died on a cross. * Roman crucifixion was a common way to die during this time period (1st century Israel under Roman occupation). * Non christian historians treat the crucifixion as a historical fact. * Criterion of embarrassment states that those following Jesus would not want to make up his death on a cross because of how humiliating it was. Virtually all scholars agree on this point. Theories about not actually dying or someone else being on the cross in place of Jesus are not taken seriously today. Jesus was laid in a tomb. * The burial in a tomb is described in all four canonical Gospels (Mark, Matthew, Luke, John), each with overlapping details (see part I of reconstruction series about the believability of the gospels). * Criterion of embarrassment: Joseph of Arimathea is portrayed as a member of the Sanhedrin, the very council that condemned Jesus. Inventing a sympathetic Sanhedrin member would have been awkward for early Christians, making the story less likely to be fiction. * Excavated 1st-century tombs near Jerusalem match the type described. Jesus rose from the dead three days later. Earliest eyewitness testimony (1 Corinthians 15:3–8) * Paul records a creed that predates his own writing (within 3–5 years of the crucifixion). * It lists appearances: to Peter, the Twelve, 500 people, James (Jesus’ brother), and finally Paul. * This is the oldest surviving Christian text — not decades later legend, but early community tradition. Transformation of the disciples * Before the crucifixion: scattered, fearful, defeated. * After: boldly proclaiming resurrection in Jerusalem (the same city where he was executed), facing persecution and death. Conversion of hostile witnesses * James, Jesus’ skeptical brother, and Paul, an enemy of early Christians, both claimed post-resurrection experiences and radically changed direction. * These conversions are historically well-attested. The empty tomb narrative * All four Gospels agree the tomb was found empty by women. * Jerusalem preaching centered on resurrection shortly after; easy to disprove if body present. Rapid rise of resurrection faith * Within a decade, the belief had crystallized across multiple regions (Jerusalem, Damascus, Antioch). * No gradual myth development — the resurrection was central from the start, unlike later apotheosis legends. At the end of the day, the alternative theories about where and what happened to Jesus… don’t add up. * The disciples stole the body. Contradicts their willingness to die for the claim; lacks motive or benefit. * They went to the wrong tomb. Romans/Jewish leaders could easily correct it. * It was a hallucination. Can’t explain group appearances or empty tomb. * The resurrection was a myth that developed later. Too early and geographically diverse for slow myth formation. All of these theories fall apart pretty spectacularly. This final piece is a faith-based conclusion and dependent on your understanding of miracles in a worldview where there is an intelligent designer. xx This is a public episode.

Reconstruction Series [Part 2 of 3]: Who Was Jesus Really?

In the last episode, we started to unpack how to view Jesus and the claims of Christianity, and we started with verifying the accuracy of the Gospel accounts. It led us to two conclusions: * In order to accept the Gospels, one must accept the plausibility of miracles in our worldview. * We must address who Jesus really was, based on what He said and did. As we go along, I want to give a hat tip to Mike Winger who had an amazing YouTube interview that helped me summarize this argument. What are miracles anyway? Miracles are events that occur outside of the laws of nature that govern this Earth. David Hume is the one credited with the classic “Hume’s Objection” and is the most common argument against miracles. “A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature; since the laws of nature are established by uniform experience, no testimony can ever be sufficient to prove a miracle.” The basis of this argument is that because miracles are least likely explanation for anything, any other natural explanation, even a far-fetched one, must always be more probable. The category error made in this argument is as follows: Treating the laws of nature as if they describe everything that can ever happen, when in reality, they describe what happens when nature is left to itself. A miracle doesn’t violate natural law. It’s an intervention by a supernatural cause. In fact, the laws of nature are a necessary precondition for recognizing miracles! You must know what normally happens (the regularity of nature) in order to recognize when something extraordinary has occurred. So natural law doesn’t make miracles impossible — it makes them detectable. Miracles are rare by design. In the Gospels, Jesus regularly points to His signs as evidence that He is divine. If miracles were common, the signs Jesus did wouldn’t point to anything extraordinary at all! The rarity of miracles doesn’t make them less believable in principle; it’s predicted by the hypothesis that God occasionally acts for revelatory purposes (to validate a divine messenger or message). If you believe in God, you naturally will believe in miracles. For He created the laws of nature themselves, which means He’s able to intervene when He chooses. There are a few other counter arguments to Hume’s objection (which admittedly get a little philosophical), but you can see how if someone believes in God but then chooses not to believe the miracles in the Gospels, they are doing some illogical mental gymnastics. “But how can I be 100% certain that this happened?” Even if we establish the credibility of the Gospel manuscripts, as well as the possibility of a worldview in which miracles are possible, the desire for 100% certainty usually pops up next. This is a psychological trap. The truth is, we never operate on 100% certainty. In the video with Mike Winger and Johnathan McLatchie, he explains some everyday examples of this. * Every time you eat at a restaurant, you’re not certain the waiter didn’t poison the food. * Every time you cross the street, you’re not certain the car will stop at the red light. * Every time you board a plane, you’re not certain it won’t crash. We still act, because our confidence is rationally justified by probability and evidence, not by absolute proof. Christianity invites rational confidence not irrational certainty. Jesus as presented in the Gospels is so well evidenced that doubt would be considered unreasonable. Now we move onto the most popular take on Jesus. “I believe He was a good teacher and did miracles.” People who say this believe the Gospel accounts are valid, believe miracles are possible, don’t need 100% irrational certainty, and yet they still stop at the “he was a good teacher” cliche. C.S. Lewis once famously said that Jesus can only be Lord, Lunatic, or Liar. You must choose one of the three. As we discussed in the last episode, Orthodox Jews put Jesus in the camp of Liar and/or Lunatic. Christians call Him Lord. Everyone else (Islam, Buddhism, New Age, etc.) all try to make a fourth option: Good teacher (or sometimes prophet). The idea of Lord, Lunatic, or Liar is not just a fancy argument. If we are going to believe the Gospel accounts and take Jesus at His word, good teacher does not fit in the options. * Jesus claimed divine authority to forgive sins * Jesus claimed to be one with God the father * Jesus claimed to pre-exist Abraham * Jesus claimed to be returning to judge the nations * Jesus claimed that man’s eternal status depended on them believing in Him His words are either true or false. If his words are true, He is God, and also a great teacher. If they are false, Jesus was in a grand delusion or He was a master manipulator. There’s no room to be a “good moral teacher” here. Do we see any evidence of either of those types of behaviors - manipulation or delusion? I asked ChatGPT to round up some qualities of Jesus as seen in the Gospels. * Consistent Emotional Stability * Calm under extreme pressure (before Pilate, during betrayal, even on the cross). * Never shows paranoia, manic highs/lows, or loss of contact with reality. * Profound Empathy * Weeps over Jerusalem and Lazarus. * Shows compassion for the sick, poor, outcasts, and children. * Prioritizes others’ welfare above His own comfort. * Absence of Self-Aggrandizement * Rejects fame after miracles; often tells healed people to “say nothing.” * Withdraws from crowds when they try to make Him king. * Lives with no wealth, privilege, or political status. * Humility in Action * Washes His disciples’ feet — a servant’s job. * Teaches “the greatest among you will be your servant.” * Associates with the lowly, not elites or flattery-seekers. * Intellectual and Moral Coherence * Engages opponents logically and graciously, not defensively. * His teachings are balanced — neither erratic nor self-contradictory. * His ethical insights (Sermon on the Mount) remain unsurpassed in clarity and universality. * No Signs of Grandiose Fantasy * Never builds cultic hierarchy or demands luxury, sex, or blind obedience. * His “claims of divinity” are always tied to moral teaching and service, not domination. * Self-Sacrifice Over Self-Preservation * Freely walks toward crucifixion, knowing it means suffering and rejection. * Prays for His executioners: “Father, forgive them.” * This behavior is incompatible with self-centered delusion. * Relational Realism * Forms deep, mutual friendships (Peter, John, Mary, Martha). * Allows others to question Him without rage or punishment. * Exhibits healthy detachment — loves fully but not possessively. * Moral Genius, Not Mania * His parables, aphorisms, and dialogues reveal composure, not obsession. * His ethical framework is internally consistent and psychologically sound. The idea that He was a lunatic or a liar is not reasonable. The idea that He was a “moral good teacher” without taking into account His claims, also logically falls apart. Next we’re going to look more closely at the biggest miracle of all, the resurrection. If you’re following along on this series, it’s clear that once you address the veracity of the Gospels, the probability of miracles, and the claims of Jesus, there’s really only one possibility coming into view… That He was (and is) the Messiah.

Reconstruction Series [Part 1 of 3]: Can You Trust The Gospel Accounts?

When someone is learning about Jesus (or coming back to faith), there’s one GIANT question that blocks the doorway to all other discussion. That rock is what I want to discuss today. “Can we trust the Gospel accounts?” It doesn’t make sense to discuss the miracles or the resurrection or the path to salvation if we can’t first agree that the text we’re working from is reliable. Question One: What genre of writing are the gospels? Answer: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are either written by eyewitnesses or by people directly connected to eyewitnesses. We call them Greco-Roman biographies to be technical (bioi is the greek term). This type of writing has several features (that the gospels match): * Focused on the life and character of a central figure. * Written not just to inform, but to model behavior. * Didn’t require exhaustive detail (like modern biographies). Selectivity was expected. * Often highlighted death as the climactic event. There are many biographies that historians widely accept as reliable such as Suetonius’s The Twelve Caesars, Plutarch’s Lives, and Tacitus’s Agricola. All of these written about a character in roughly same time period, even though the earliest manuscripts found are 800 years or more after the events. Question Two: How many manuscripts have we found? Answer: There are over 5,800+ Greek manuscripts of the Gospels, and 20,000+ manuscripts written in other languages. By comparison, Homer’s Iliad has around ~1,800, Caesar’s Gallic Wars around ~10, and Tacitus’s Annals ~3. Case in point, the Gospels blow every single other ancient text out of the water in terms of the amount of manuscripts we have available. Question Three: When were the Gospels written? Answer: Most scholars date the Gospels between 60–100 AD. Mark is the earliest. And even though Paul’s writing aren’t the focus of this argument, some of the letters to the Churches date even earlier. The reason this is so important is because the time between when the events happened and when they were written down, is TINY. There would have been eyewitnesses around who could easily refute the writing if it was fabricated. The earliest manuscripts we have found are dated ~125 AD (about 30 years after John was written). They were found in Egypt (showing how fast the Gospel spread). Later manuscripts show remarkable stability in the text. In fact, even the most skeptical historians admit that the “disparities” in the texts are minimal and are more about grammar than theology. Question Four: How can we trust that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were telling the truth? Answer: There are three features of the Gospels that lend to their credibility, and they are: * Embarrassing Details * External Corroboration * Undesigned Coincidences Let’s go through each one (paying special attention to #3). #1 Embarrassing Details Peter denies Jesus. Disciples misunderstand constantly. Women are the first witnesses (culturally embarrassing in 1st century). These details weaken the case if fabricated, but strengthen it if true. #2 External Corroboration Josephus: references Jesus, James, and crucifixion. Tacitus confirms execution under Pontius Pilate. Pliny the Younger: records early Christian worship of Christ “as a god.” #3 Undesigned Coincidences They’re little details in one Gospel that don’t make full sense until you read another Gospel. These overlaps are too subtle to be intentional, but too coherent to be coincidence. They look like the natural byproduct of multiple eyewitnesses remembering the same event from different angles. For example, in the feeding of the 5000 (both in John 6 and Mark 6): * John 6:5: Jesus tests Philip by asking, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” Why Philip? Seems random… * Mark 6:30–44 explains: the miracle happened near Bethsaida. Philip was from Bethsaida (John 1:44). The pieces click. John drops Philip’s name, Mark gives the location, Luke confirms Philip’s hometown. Together, it makes perfect sense. If the Gospels were fabricated centuries later, you’d expect polished consistency, not hidden puzzle pieces. Forgers don’t leave subtle clues across documents that only scholars or close readers would notice. This is exactly what you see in real eyewitness testimony: rough edges that overlap in ways that can’t be staged. Now we get to the heart of the matter when it comes to the Gospels. They recount miracles. This is why people call them into question. If there had been no miracles written about, the Gospels would be accepted by virtually everyone. ^^ Most people breeze over this fact but it is remarkable. Take out the miracles and no one would be arguing “Are the Gospels reliable?” If you have a worldview that cannot or does not accept miracles, you’ll look for a way to make the Gospel accounts irrelevant and false. Miracles are the stumbling block. Ask 10 people on the street if they believe in miracles, and you’ll probably get the following responses: * “Yes I believe in them.” * “Maybe they are possible but extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.” * “If they are true, why don’t we see them today?” * “No I do not believe that anything claiming to happen outside the laws of nature is real.” I’m curious how you would answer the question? As we move into the next episode, we’ll look at a Biblical worldview that accepts miracles vs. a worldview that does not. But when you look at the evidence presented about the reliability of the Gospel manuscripts, we can’t simply write them off as myths and legends. You must decide for yourself: Either the Gospels are historically reliable accounts of a man who claimed to be God and performed miracles… or they are early, widespread, meticulously preserved accounts that somehow all got it completely wrong. And if you feel the tension of such black-and-white options, you’ll find that most other worldviews don’t like that tension either, and do the “hunt & peck” method of the Gospels. They’ll accept some pieces, but not all. Islam for example claims that Gospels were distorted. They throw away the death & resurrection, and His claim that He was God. This doesn’t match the evidence presented as we have tons of examples of the preservation of the text. And non-religious historians acknowledge that Jesus did in fact die on a cross. You’ll find similar logical inconsistencies among buddhists, new agers, etc. They’ll accept Jesus’ wisdom or even His miracles, but strip away His exclusivity. It’s picking and choosing, not dealing with the whole picture. Among world religions, Orthodox Judaism at least takes the evidence seriously. They don’t deny the miracles or dismiss the reliability of the text. Instead, they argue Jesus was a false prophet whose power came from the wrong source. Whether you agree or not, that’s at least a logically consistent position. They aren’t ignoring the mountain of evidence for the manuscripts and their reliability, they are simply attributing it to something that wasn’t God. So we’re back at the fork in the road. The Gospels are either reliable eyewitness accounts of a man who claimed to be God and performed miracles…or they’re early, widespread, carefully preserved accounts that all somehow got it completely wrong. The evidence forces us back to Jesus Himself, and especially His resurrection. That’s where we need to go next. This is a public episode.

Why I'm Starting This New Channel...

Romans 12:2 has been tumbling in my mind and spirit: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” In this episode, I share why this verse is the anchor for this new project and what it means in the original language. We’ll look at: Why being conformed to the world often results in confusion, muddied worldviews, and spiritual drift. How the Greek word for transform (metamorphousthe) points to God’s work in us, not something we accomplish on our own. What “renewal of the mind” (anakainōsis) really looks like—an ongoing renovation of our moral compass and perception, done by the Spirit. How testing everything against Scripture helps us discern God’s will in a noisy, fragmented culture. This isn’t about positive thinking or self-help. It’s about Jesus transforming us from the inside out so we can see clearly, walk in truth, and live unashamedly in Him. Resources mentioned in today’s episode: The Story of Reality by Greg Koukl — Get it on Amazon [https://a.co/d/fbzYP34] If this message resonates with you, I’d love to hear what’s stirring in your spirit. Share your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to subscribe so we can keep walking this journey of mind renewal together. Full Transcript You can also watch on YouTube: Renewing the Mind in Romans 12:2 [00:00:00] Hi everyone. My name is Julie Chanel and I am here on YouTube because I am beginning a new project based on the scripture verse, Romans 12, two. I have felt in my spirit and in my mind that there are things that I am learning that the Lord is showing me that I need to share with others. I am on this channel with. Much hesitation and reservation. I do not have a name for this channel. I do not have really a tagline or an elevator speech. In fact, as someone who is a business coach and who is taught to think of everything through a marketing lens and you know, marketing copy, this is very much not that. I don’t know exactly what is going [00:01:00] to come of all of this, but the scripture, Romans 12, two, has been tumbling over in my head over and over, and I think that it is relevant for this stage and period in the world for Christians and even for those who might be seeking and curious about Jesus. And what he came for. So I wanna read that scripture to you first, just to kind of give you some backdrop. The scripture in Romans says, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. That by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. This is a scripture that is undergirding this entire channel. What does it mean to renew our mind? What does it mean to not be conformed [00:02:00] to the world that we live in? What does it mean to test and discern God’s will? Those three things seem incredibly important and relevant right now in the current climate that we are in. For those of you who don’t know, I. Grew up as a conservative Christian. I went to a Christian college. I majored in biblical studies before transferring into psychology, and I lived the Christian life until 2012, 2013, when I had a very dramatic falling away of my faith. I lost my church, my friends, much of my faith, and proceeded to deconstruct over the next 10 to 12 years. The whole time that I was in that state, I was not in fellowship or communion with God. I would occasionally pray, usually when it was stressful or, or you [00:03:00] know, critical. I had this sense that I knew Jesus was the Messiah, but I had no ability to back it up. I didn’t really know anything else, and I did start to fall into existential dread. I had a dramatic turning back to my faith. In February, March of 2025. And when I say dramatic, I don’t mean that the Lord spoke to me audibly, but I had what can only be described as the spirit taking a lot of the shackles off of my eyes and delivering me from the dread and the fear and the torment that was plaguing me about questions about the afterlife and the meaning of life. And ever since then, in that, that day in February, I have been. Absolutely unashamedly, clung to the, to the hem of his garment. I have been reading, I have been in prayer, I have been in worship. I’ve been writing on a Substack newsletter [00:04:00] called The Dandelion Report and just writing the things that I’m studying, that I’m learning what I’m seeing. And for those of you who know me, I am not a fan of video and YouTube and podcasts like. This is not my, my modality at all. I love to write, so to get up here and get on video is terrifying. Even though I know I do it all the time. I don’t think people realize how much resistance I have, but over the last month, I have felt a heaviness in my heart and my spirit that I continually have brought before God asking, what are you doing? Why do I feel this? What is happening inside of me, and I feel a very strong urge to speak and to share for whoever it’s for. I, it’s not my job to make this, have a good marketing angle or to, , pick a good title and branding. That is not what I’m [00:05:00] doing here. What I’m doing here is walking in obedience to what I feel like the Lord has said that I am to do. I wanna go into Romans 12 two a little bit deeper now because I think this is the crux of what I’m supposed to share and what I want people who are listening to understand about why I am starting this channel and what I’m doing. So let’s head over to Romans 12 here and take a look. Okay, let’s begin with the very first part of verse two. It says, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. So when we think about conforming to this world, we think about following the world’s rules, the world’s laws, the world’s ideology. If we were born in any other time [00:06:00] in life, there might be one or two or three worldviews presented to you, depending on where you lived before the internet and before. , Electricity, even depending on where you were born, that would determine the worldview that you would have. Now that we are in the time of the internet and the time where we can hear any type of worldview, crazy or not crazy, when you think about conforming to this world, the word that comes to mind for me is confused. Because all worldviews are presented to us. Not only that, but worldviews are getting muddy. People are picking and choosing from different worldviews and creating these custom worldview that are not built on sound [00:07:00] logic. There’s a great book called The Story of Reality, and in it, the author talks about how each worldview. In life, you know, whether it’s an atheistic worldview or a, you know, Buddhist or what have you, they, it’s like a puzzle, right? And what’s happening is, you know, if you had an actual puzzle, you would need all the pieces of that puzzle, right? To make that picture, to see the big picture. But what’s happening is people are borrowing from other puzzles and like hacking it together. So when the scripture says, do not be conformed to this world. It’s basically saying, watch that your worldview is not put on you by the world. And that is very, very scary today because worldviews are not necessarily based in logic, reason, sound thinking. They’re often fueled by algorithms and loud voices, and you can get a [00:08:00] very, very messed up worldview by letting the world conform your mind. The second part of that first sentence is be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Now the word transform means to literally like turn into a different shape, if you will. So if you think about a caterpillar gets transformed into a butterfly, it becomes something different. We are surrounded by information. And we have basically the world’s knowledge at our fingertips, right? And so all that information is sitting around us, but we decide what information we’re gonna draw into us. And the information that we put inside of us actually changes who we are. It changes how we think. It changes how we behave. It changes what we believe. It changes how we feel. And so the goal here is to be transformed. And it’s interesting because Paul says, by the [00:09:00] renewal of your mind, and I think that in religion especially, people think of it as this very emotional, faith-based experience. They don’t think about the mind, they don’t think about, logic and reason, and they think, oh, it’s, it’s just like this feeling, this gut feeling. Yeah. One of the, one of , the things about my returning to Jesus was that it was very much a mind experience. I didn’t have an emotional, , sobbing, crying, , alter call. I didn’t, I didn’t have there, there was no music. It was a work of the mind that transformed me, that brought me back. And I think it’s interesting that Paul here is singing be transformed by the renewal of your mind. And that’s something I love to look at things from a logical perspective, from sound principles of thinking. [00:10:00] And here in the scripture it’s saying that that is actually what’s going to transform you. And, you know, I asked, chat, GBTI looked up some of the, Greek for some of these words and be transformed specifically is the same route as the word metamorphosis. And what’s interesting about that is it’s passive, which means that this is not done by your sheer effort, but by something being done to you. The good news about this is that you don’t have to like work your way into understanding God better, because what the scripture is saying is that he will transform you. He will renew your mind based on the posture that you have. So if you say, Hey, I’m willing, I want to be renewed. I want to not be conformed to this world. I want renewal, he’s going to do that work in you. [00:11:00] And renewing is comes from, , the origin of that word is like to make new again, to restore, to renovate. So this is ongoing. This is not something that just happens once and then boom, you’re renewed. Okay? And it was not meant to, to suggest, we’re just thinking positive thoughts. It is an ongoing renovation done by God through the Holy Spirit. But it also means putting a posture of allowing it and understanding that God uses the mind as a way to instill principles and to give you discernment so that you can avoid being conformed to the world. So the next part of the verse is. That by testing, you may discern what is the will of God. The beautiful part about this verse is that it means that we can know [00:12:00] the will of God now, not in full, but it means that God is opening up opportunity for us to know what his will is. And when it says testing, it doesn’t mean putting the Lord to the test. In the way you think of that, it actually means taking what happens. So what happens in the world, what happens in politics, what happens in your relationships? What happens in your, in your feelings, and putting it to the test, meaning test that experience against the authority of scripture against who God says he is. And that by doing so, you can discern that thing and whether or not it’s in alignment with the will of God or not, that’s what this verse is saying. And then it ends with what is good and acceptable and perfect because we know that God is good and we know that God wants to, make all things work together for good, for those who love [00:13:00] God. So the goal. Of this is to really take things that are going on in the world, experiences, what’s happening in, you know, in politics, in society, in our own lives, in our own minds, and to allow God to transform us through the renewing of our mind. And that’s what I wanna do here. That is my, that is my goal. That is my commitment. And that is what I’m gonna be sharing with you here. The last thing I wanna say here today is, what do I mean? When I say mind or, or what does, what does the scripture even say when it is talking about your mind and the mind in, in that time period when Paul was writing was linked to your, to your moral compass, right? So it’s letting God shape the lens, like the glasses through which you evaluate [00:14:00] things like right and wrong. What is true? What is false? What is worthy and what is unworthy? And that’s what we’re gonna focus on, is like, how do we get the, the, our moral compass aligned with scripture? How do we get our glasses so that we can see what God says about things so that we can test those experience against the authority of scripture? All right. If this sounds like something that is interesting to you, something that you wanna follow along, I would of course love to see, you subscribe and comment. Below what things are specifically troubling your spirit these days? I don’t have a promise yet for how frequently I will post. I do not know where this is leading. Like I said, I don’t really have a name or a brand. I’m just walking in obedience and I thank you to those of you who, , are gonna come along and [00:15:00] may God bless you. And, , may your renewal of your mind begin right now today. God bless. This is a public episode.
