Summary
What if transformation wasn’t about trying harder, but trusting deeper?
Today, we’ll unpack the beautiful rhythm of being and doing with God—where presence comes before performance, and trust fuels every next step. What changes when you realize you’re already in His presence?
Key Scriptures:
+ 2 Corinthians 3:18. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
+ 2 Corinthians 4:16. Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.
+ Acts 17:28. For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants.’
+ Philippians 4:13. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
+ Hebrews 13:5. For He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you."

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, you're listening to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast with Graham Cook and Team Brilliant. |
| 0:07.0 | In today's episode, we're exploring what it really means to be renewed from the inside out, |
| 0:13.0 | not by striving to reach God's presence, but by recognizing that we already live from it. |
| 0:20.0 | This message is meant to gently reframe the way that we see devotion, |
| 0:24.6 | reminding us that our relationship with God always begins with being rather than doing. |
| 0:30.6 | You'll hear how trust, rest, and intimacy are deeply interwoven, |
| 0:35.6 | and how learning to walk with God every single day can become |
| 0:39.9 | a joyful rhythm of lasting transformation. So, wherever you are, let's settle in and receive |
| 0:47.2 | the fresh grace that God is always extending. |
| 0:54.0 | Now, 2 Corinthians 318 says, but we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror, |
| 1:01.5 | the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory just as by the Spirit of the Lord. |
| 1:13.1 | There's a reason God created you as a human being and not a human doing. |
| 1:18.2 | His primary purpose is to walk with you in such a way that your heart is renewed |
| 1:25.2 | and converted by the beauty of who he is and how he lives with us. |
| 1:32.3 | As we talked about previously, God wants you to enjoy your sanctification process as much as he does. |
| 1:41.4 | Remember, the Father Jesus and the Holy Spirit never tire of their work in you your |
| 1:51.2 | continuing transformation into their image is a huge delight to them and can become a |
| 1:59.8 | marvelous place of fellowship for you. They love being in and with you always. |
| 2:09.3 | Of course, that doesn't mean that doing is not vital to us. It's also hugely important. |
| 2:14.9 | Is that being like God takes precedence in life? This is where our intimacy with |
| 2:20.7 | him is derived. With the empowering presence of the spirit, we live in the acceptance and affection |
