Paul says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” And when most people hear, “Renew your mind,” they think about the surface level. Replace the negative thought with a positive one.

That’s your conscious mind – the main floor. But underneath that, there’s a deeper floor, the basement buried in the foundation under the main floor. That’s the subconscious mind. This is where everything lives that you’re not actively thinking about. Your habits, your automatic responses, your deep assumptions about yourself, about money, about what you deserve, about what’s possible for your life… about God, His nature, His will for your life… It’s all down there …running constantly without you watching it.
