Mindset Renewal & Empowered Faith with Kristin Campbell

Stop Paying Debts Jesus Already Paid

In today’s episode, we take a deeper look at the freedom Jesus secured for us at the cross and how that freedom applies to our everyday lives. Too often, believers continue living under the weight of past mistakes, shame, fear, and lies from the enemy—essentially continuing to “pay debts” that Christ already paid in full. Kristin walks through key scriptures that reveal the depth of Christ’s sacrifice and the authority believers now have as adopted children of God. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Christ’s sacrifice covers all sin—past, present, and future The difference between head knowledge and heart transformation How the enemy deceives believers into believing they still owe him something Why guilt, shame, anxiety, and insecurity often stem from agreements with lies How repentance and truth from Scripture help break those agreements What it means to walk daily in the freedom Christ secured Key Scriptures Referenced Romans 5:6–8 Romans 10:9 Romans 8:15 Acts 13:38–39 Colossians 2:8–15 Galatians 5:1 Isaiah 46:10 Hebrews 12:2 Revelation 21–22 Key Takeaway Jesus already paid the debt for your sin and your freedom. The enemy can only keep you in bondage if you believe his lies. When you recognize the truth of God’s Word and break agreement with those lies, you step into the freedom Christ already secured for you.

The Bait of Offense: How the Enemy Traps Your Mind

Mar 2300:19:12Tap to summarize

Offense is everywhere in today’s culture—even within the church. But what does Scripture say about how believers should respond when we feel hurt, wronged, or misunderstood? In this episode, Kristin explores the biblical concept of offense and why it can be such a powerful trap for the mind and heart. Drawing from the Greek word skandalon—meaning the bait of a trap—she explains how offense often begins with a thought that we choose to agree with. When left unchecked, those thoughts can lead to resentment, unforgiveness, and a cold, hardened heart. Through biblical teaching and practical reflection, you’ll learn how the enemy uses offense to disrupt our relationships with others and with God. More importantly, you’ll discover the path to freedom: taking ownership of our reactions, releasing offense through forgiveness, and choosing to live in love. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling hurt, overlooked, betrayed, or misunderstood, this episode will help you examine your heart, renew your mindset, and move toward the peace and freedom God intends. Living unoffended doesn’t mean ignoring pain—it means trusting God as your defender and choosing love over resentment. Key Topics in This Episode • What the Bible says about offense • The meaning of skandalon (the bait of a trap) • How offense begins with thoughts we agree with • Why offense hardens the heart and blocks love • Taking ownership of our reactions • The role of forgiveness in breaking free from offense • Learning to live “unoffendable” through faith Download the FREE Reflection guide at www.thekristincampbell.com Follow Kristin on Instagram @thekristincampbell

Faithful, Not Successful: What God Is Really After.

Mar 1600:20:31Tap to summarize

In this special 100th episode of Mindset Renewal & Empowered Faith, Kristin revisits the very first message she ever shared — faith taking action — through the lens of deeper spiritual maturity. Through the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, she unpacks a powerful truth: God is not measuring your production — He is measuring your faithfulness. Fear, comparison, and self-doubt often disguise themselves as wisdom, humility, or “waiting,” but they quietly keep us from obedient action. Kristin explores: • Why misunderstanding God’s character fuels fear • How comparison becomes avoidance • The difference between striving and surrender • What it means to offer what you have and trust God with the outcome If you’ve been shrinking back, waiting for certainty, or measuring your worth by visible results, this episode is your invitation back to faithful obedience — and the joy that follows.

In today's episode, Kristin dives into one of the most misunderstood — and most powerful — gifts available to every Christian: the Holy Spirit.

Beyond Intellectual Faith: Taking God at His Word in Real Life

Feb 2300:28:32Tap to summarize

This episode addresses the overwhelming feeling of being lost, stuck between a rock and a hard place, and screaming into the wind wondering if anyone is listening. Host Kristin Campbell emphasizes that true lasting transformation comes not from five-step programs or quick fixes, but from standing firm on God's Word as the foundation that holds through any storm. Building on the previous episode about Jesus's peace, Kristin explores what it means to take God at His word daily—particularly the crucial difference between intellectual knowledge and experiential knowledge of God. Through powerful biblical examples, including Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's declaration before being thrown into the fiery furnace, Kristin demonstrates how experiential knowledge creates unshakeable faith. She transparently shares her own raw experience of dealing with contractors after her house was struck by lightning, revealing how she had to choose to surrender rage, bitterness, and revenge—choosing instead to walk out God's promises even when circumstances looked opposite. The episode provides practical guidance on building faith through everyday matters, warns against expecting God's blessings to look how we imagine, and emphasizes the importance of studying Scripture personally to avoid deception. This is a call to make God's Word active and living in daily life, transforming from the inside out regardless of external circumstances.

Your Legal Inheritance: Claiming the Peace of Christ

Feb 1600:16:59Tap to summarize

This powerful episode addresses the intense tension and anxiety permeating our world today, offering biblical solutions for maintaining peace amid chaos. Host Kristin Campbell acknowledges the reality of our heated cultural climate—the anger, offenses, and rage that erupt over minor issues—and shares her own struggles with losing peace and reacting in ways that don't reflect her true identity in Christ.Drawing from John 14:26-27, Kristin unpacks two transformative keys to walking in perfect peace. First, believers have been given the Holy Spirit as a permanent indwelling Helper, Comforter, Counselor, and Strengthener—a dramatic shift from Old Testament times when the Spirit only visited certain people at certain times. Second, Jesus legally bequeathed His very own peace to believers—not a replica or partial version, but the same complete peace He used while on earth in human form. This episode emphasizes that this peace doesn't require divine powers because Jesus operated in it as a human, having emptied Himself of divine privileges. The key to activating Christ's peace lies in knowing who God is and taking Him at His word—a topic Kristin promises to explore deeper in upcoming episodes.Important Context:The world in Jesus's day was just as crazy (if not more so) than todayDon't romanticize the past—corruption, injustice, and chaos existed then tooJesus lived in a way that kept His peace, showing us we can tooThis isn't a one-and-done quick fixIt's developing and renewing your mind according to God's truthResults in lasting transformation when practiced consistentlyComing in Future Episodes:How to take God at His word in everyday circumstances Deep dive into all seven roles of the Holy Spirit More on walking in faithDownload FREE Reflection Guide at www.thekristincampbell.comFollow Kristin on Instagram @thekristincampbell
