into today's devotional with one of our teaching pastors, Mike Bro. Hey, what's up everybody? Hey,

my name is Mike. And, man, I'm so, so thrilled that you would tune in today. I love spending a few

minutes with you every day. We've been

kicking off the new year, just talking about walking a new direction. And this week, we're talking

about the importance of just changing the way we think in order to pull that off. And we unpack

this principle over the past week or so. Your direction determines your destination. Your decisions

determine your direction. and what you download into

your mind determines your decisions. What you and I put into our minds greatly affects the choices

that we make throughout the day. We saw this verse yesterday from Romans chapter 12, verse two is going to be

our weak verse. Don't copy the behaviors and customs of this world. In other words, don't just put it on

autopilot and go with the flow. In other words, don't just put it on autopilot

and go with the flow. Don't let trends and cultural norms determine your direction. But let God

transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Now it came as a bit of a surprise

to me that when I gave my life to Jesus Christ and I decided to follow him, that there

was not like an automatic delete button in my head. I still had some of the old ways of thinking.

I developed like neurological pathways in my brain that tried to lead me right back down the

same roads that I've been traveling. So I had to go to work

changing the way I thought and downloading some fresh, good, true things into my mind.
