One of the I can's because of Christ is that I can change.

And what a beautiful reminder for many of us who are stuck in patterns and habits in our

lives that we struggle to get out of various temptations that we wrestle with or different

reactions that we wish we could maybe tweak here or there and be more gifts to the fruit

of the fruit of the spirit that will bear their

fruit in us.

And over time, you go, oh, I wish I was more like Jesus than I am.

And so my grandfather said, hey, Romans 12 says that we are renewed and transformed by the

renewal of our mind.

This is a promise that God bears out in the lives of

his children. And so he took the idea of metamorphosis, of how God takes a caterpillar and turns

them into a butterfly and says, that's the picture of the Christian walk.

Wouldn't you like to not only understand God's word, but also live it out in the power

of the Holy Spirit, no less?

And don't you want to be transformed by God's living and active word? Me too. Well, today we have author Dan Jacobson

with us and he's going to unpack how this is actually possible. But there is something

really cool I need to tell you about this. Years ago, Dan found an unpublished manuscript.

It was tucked away in a dusty Manila folder, and it belonged to his grandfather,

renowned author, Warren Wearsby.

Dan was able to complete the unfinished work, and the result is a beautiful devotional book,

plus this inspiring conversation. You're going to love this. So let's go. I love this. Welcome

to the 413 podcast where practical encouragement and biblical wisdom set you up to live the I-Can life because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
