Speaking Life

Life changes fast, and often in ways we never saw coming. But even when circumstances feel unfair or overwhelming, God invites us to experience a shift that happens inside our hearts long before anything changes around us. In this five-day devotional, Pastor Ted Pagel shares hope, wisdom, and biblical truth from his book The Shift That Changes Everything, helping you discover how a transformed attitude can open the door to healing, resilience, and renewed purpose.

The Shift That Changes Everything

For our minds to be strong and undisturbed by outside influences, they need to change from the inside out. The dictionary meaning of "renewing of the mind" is the process of changing one’s thoughts and attitudes to be more positive. For a Christian, it means acting on the Word of God and bringing one's will into agreement with God's will. 

Renew Your Mind

Grief doesn’t wait for the right time—it crashes in, unexpected and overwhelming. This 3-day reading plan by author Heather Hair offers hope for those reeling from loss or emotional aftershocks that come out of nowhere. 

With gentle truth and Scripture-based prayers, you’ll be reminded that you’re not broken—you’re grieving. And God isn’t rushing you. He’s holding you steady, breath by breath, through every wave.

When Grief or Loss Hits Like a Wave

In Romans 12:2  Apostle Paul said that we are transformed by the renewing of the mind. Many of us think that once our life is transformed, then our mind will be renewed. It is the other way around. When we were born, most of us came out into this world, head first. When your mind is changed, your life will be transformed. Remember, where your mind goes, your life follows.
