The Battle for Your Mind in a Digital Age | S4E3 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST
In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam is joined by Sammy for a powerful conversation on the intersection of faith, thought life, and technology. Drawing from Jesus’s words in the Sermon on the Mount, the discussion explores how sin begins not with our actions, but with the thoughts we allow to take root in our minds.As AI and digital media increasingly blur the lines between fantasy and reality, this message couldn’t be more relevant. The group unpacks the pattern—head, heart, hands—revealing how our thoughts shape our hearts and eventually guide our actions. From virtual temptation to mental renewal, the call is clear: transformation begins with a renewed mind. Inspired by Romans 12 and the Greek idea of metanoia (a complete change of mind), this conversation challenges believers to guard their thoughts, resist digital distortion, and pursue holiness from the inside out.-Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?
