Why Your Mind Is the Battlefield | Ephesians 4:17–24 | Episode 17

What does it actually mean to put off the old self and put on the new? In Ephesians 4:17–24, Paul makes it clear the change starts in the mind, not just behaviour. Rachel and Amy unpack why the mind is the major battlefield of the Christian walk, how deep-seated narratives get reinforced by culture and exploited by the enemy, and what it looks like in practice to take thoughts captive and replace them with what God says. They also get into guarding the heart, why "the heart wants what it wants" isn't a biblical argument, and close with an illustration about telling the old landlord to take his demands elsewhere. Practical, honest, and rooted in Scripture. → Stay Connected Conference Tickets – [theorchardwomen.com](http://theorchardwomen.com/) Give to the Orchard - https://theorchardwomen.com/give Instagram – / theorchardwomen Website – https://theorchardwomen.com/

What does it actually mean to put off the old self and put on the new? In Ephesians 4:17–24, Paul makes it clear the change starts in the mind, not just behaviour.

Rachel and Amy unpack why the mind is the major battlefield of the Christian walk, how deep-seated narratives get reinforced by culture and exploited by the enemy, and what it looks like in practice to take thoughts captive and replace them with what God says. They also get into guarding the heart, why "the heart wants what it wants" isn't a biblical argument, and close with an illustration about telling the old landlord to take his demands elsewhere.

Practical, honest, and rooted in Scripture.
