In this episode of Next Level Freedom, Host Ray Mertens and guest Tim Holloway dive deep into the transformative journey of renewing the mind through Christ, inspired by Romans 12:1-2. They discuss how true spiritual transformation isn’t about fitting God into our busy lives but rather living with God at every moment. Ray emphasizes the importance of pausing and connecting with the Holy Spirit, recommending tools like the Wild at Heart Pause app, which helps create space for stillness and communion with God amidst life’s busyness.

The discussion takes listeners on a journey through the Gospel, highlighting how the message of Christ is not just about salvation, but about embodying His presence within us. Referencing Acts 17, Ray and Tim discuss how, in Christ, we live, move, and have our being—participating in God’s Hero’s Journey. The duo explores the often overlooked distinction between Jesus as the companion and Christ as the King of Glory. Ray shares a personal revelation of seeing Jesus not only as the humble carpenter but as the glorified Christ depicted in Revelation 1, a vision that deeply impacted his walk with God.

As the conversation unfolds, they tackle topics like breaking limiting beliefs, addressing inner programming, and embracing Kingdom ownership. Ray reflects on how life isn’t meant to be a constant struggle but a partnership with God, allowing His power to work through us. They discuss the significance of vulnerability and how opening up to God can bring profound healing and freedom. Tim shares his personal experiences of letting go of shame and encountering the transformative light of God in his life.

This episode invites listeners to engage in their own healing journey, moving beyond superficial faith and into a deep, restorative relationship with Christ. With practical steps, Tim and Ray encourage listeners to take time in solitude, asking God what He wants to reveal, and allowing space for God’s transformative work in their hearts.
