Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Brett shares a powerful personal experience with the Holy Spirit that reshaped his understanding of healing, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. He discusses how his journey of seeking everything Jesus died to give us has led him to a deeper reliance on God, the gifts of the Spirit, and the power of prayer. Brett also takes a fresh look at the self-help movement, particularly Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. He breaks down its core principles and contrasts them with biblical truth, highlighting the importance of aligning our desires with God’s will rather than relying on human wisdom. Key Takeaways: Seeking First the Kingdom – When we surrender everything to God and seek Him wholeheartedly, we open ourselves to experiencing His presence and power in new ways. The Gifts of the Spirit are for Today – Healing, prophecy, and other spiritual gifts are not just for biblical times; they are meant to be pursued and received by believers today. Self-Help vs. God-Help – The self-help industry promotes self-reliance, but true success and transformation come from trusting in God and renewing our minds through His Word. Faith Over Affirmations – While personal development teaches autosuggestion and affirmations, the Bible teaches that true change happens by meditating on Scripture and allowing God to renew our minds. Join Brett on this journey of seeking God’s wisdom over worldly success, learning to live a life fully surrendered to Him.
