Welcome to The Adopted Brothers Podcast! We are brothers-in-law and brothers in Christ. We also happen to both be adopted physically and spiritually (Ephesians 1:5). Our goal is to share stories and conversations that encourage, promote growth, and most of all give glory to our Heavenly Father. We also take an active stance on taking care of orphans, foster kids, and adoptees as this is the only religion that God accepts (James 1:27). Thank you for listening and joining us in sharing God's love with others!

Renewing Your Mind with Scripture: Defeating Lies, Walking in Truth, and Growing Closer to God
2w ago00:33:13Tap to summarizeHow do we renew our minds and overcome the lies of the enemy? In this episode of The Adopted Brothers Podcast, Craig and Gerald discuss the power of God's Word to transform our thinking and strengthen our faith. Drawing from Psalm 23, Romans 12:2, Joshua 1:9, Matthew 5-6, and 2 Corinthians 4, they explore how declaring God's truth over your life can defeat fear, doubt, and deception. They also examine the transformation of Saul to Paul as a powerful example of a renewed mind and discuss why daily time with God is essential for building a relationship with Him. Learn how surrendering to God allows Him to change what we cannot, why His ways are higher than our ways, and how applying Scripture to everyday life leads to lasting spiritual growth. If you're seeking encouragement, biblical truth, and practical ways to strengthen your walk with Christ, this conversation is for you.Links:Winning the War in Your Mindwww.theadoptedbrotherspodcast.comOriginal outro music by Autumn Bornschein
