Hello and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Your mind is the greatest gift God has given you. That's why today we continue with a series

called Rethinking Your Life. In these lessons, Rick shares nine biblical pillars we need to reshape our minds so that we can

become more like Jesus Christ. But first, if you're ready to live the abundant life Jesus promises,

then you'll be excited to know that Pastor Rick created a brand new Bible study called

Rethinking Your Life.

This study will guide you into a deeper relationship with God,

allowing you to see your life through his eyes,

apply his wisdom,

and step into a life of purpose and joy.

think about what you think about. I've told you this many, many times, but the way you think

determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to act

differently, you don't start trying to change your actions. You've got to go back upstream to what

you think. What you think determines how you feel and what you feel determines how you act.

If you try to determine change your actions, it doesn't work. If you try to determine change your feelings, it doesn't work.

I'm still hurt. I'm still mad. I'm still upset. I'm still envious. You've got to change your thoughts.

And that's what this series is going to be about. How to change your thoughts. How to rethink your life.

This is going to be a very, very practical series. You have to start at the source. Start with what you're

thinking. Now here's the fourth pillar in rethinking your life.

The fourth pillar of rethinking my life is to realize that every behavior is based on a belief.
