TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
1 Peter 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (ESV)
John 3:3–8 - Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” [4] Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” [5] Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ [8] The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, friends. Welcome to the morning mindset. I hope you enjoy being a part of the |
| 0:08.8 | morning mindset family and that you're telling others about the morning mindset. We're here to get |
| 0:13.5 | our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. Friends, I've also produced a number of |
| 0:19.7 | books of various kinds. One series that I want to |
| 0:23.0 | focus on today, just real briefly, is a fictional series based in a Dragon Slayer sort of a context. |
| 0:29.4 | If that's intriguing to you, you can find out more about those books at dragonslayerbook.com. |
| 0:35.5 | All right, as we get into First Peter chapter, verse number three today, we're going to be |
| 0:39.8 | looking at what does it mean to be born again? Maybe you've heard that term in church. It's kind of a |
| 0:45.7 | religious or churchy sounding term. What does it mean? We're going to dig into that today. |
| 0:51.4 | But before we do, I want to ask you to pray with me for God's help in understanding |
| 0:55.6 | this somewhat confusing term. So, Lord, as we turn to you and read your word today, we want to |

| 1:10.3 | place faith in you. |
| 1:11.4 | You called it born again. |
| 1:12.8 | Show us what that means. |
| 1:14.9 | And how it applies to who we are in Jesus Christ. |
| 1:18.1 | We ask in Jesus' name, amen. |
| 1:20.9 | Okay, friends, first Peter chapter 1, verse number three, says, |
| 1:24.5 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:35.1 | According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again, to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. |
| 1:38.5 | Now, obviously, today, we're focusing in on that second phrase in the second sentence, |
