SD#178: Are You Offended?
Monday Mindset Reset—A Seeing Deep Podcast
Are you offended? Maybe your immediate answer is no. But is there a conversation you keep replaying? A wrong you believe needs to be repaid? A story you keep retelling? Someone whose motives you’ve already decided you understand? Offense can gain momentum in our minds before we recognize what is happening. And while we cannot control what other people say or do, through Christ we can recognize the mindset temptations that invite us to take up an offense and allow it to take root. In this episode of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass examines five mindset temptations that can lead us into...

SD#177: What Are You Afraid Of?
Monday Mindset Reset—A Seeing Deep Podcast
What are you afraid of? Fear has a way of making possibilities feel like realities. One fearful thought becomes another, and before long, we can find ourselves mentally living through circumstances that haven't even happened. But just because we feel afraid doesn't mean fear is telling us the truth. In this episode of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass takes a biblical and theological look at fear—from its entrance into the human story in Genesis to the ultimate hope of Revelation. Along the way, we'll discover how Scripture distinguishes between fear and anxiety, why our thoughts can...

SD#176: Who's Your Audience?
Monday Mindset Reset—A Seeing Deep Podcast
Whose approval are you living for? Whether we realize it or not, we're all living before an audience. We replay conversations, compare ourselves to others, seek affirmation, and worry about what people think. But what if the greatest battle of the mind isn't simply negative thinking—it's living for the approval of the wrong audience? In this episode of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass explores one of the most subtle mindset traps believers face: people-pleasing and the fear of man. Following the storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, you'll discover how sin shifted...

SD#175: Where is Your Hope?
Monday Mindset Reset—A Seeing Deep Podcast
Where have you placed your hope? When life doesn't unfold the way we expected, it's easy to believe that nothing will ever change. Unanswered prayers, difficult diagnoses, broken relationships, grief, anxiety, and seasons of waiting can quietly rob us of hope. But what if biblical hope isn't rooted in changing circumstances—but in the unchanging character of God? In this episode of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass explores one of the greatest mindset battles we face: believing our circumstances determine whether we have reason to hope. Through Romans 15:13, Psalm 27:13–14, Romans 8,...

SD#174: Who Do You Think You Are?
Monday Mindset Reset—A Seeing Deep Podcast
Who defines your identity? The world is quick to assign labels based on our past, our performance, our relationships, or other people's opinions. Before long, we begin believing those labels ourselves. But what if those labels were never meant to define you? In this episode of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass explores one of the greatest mindset battles we face: believing that our past, failures, or circumstances determine who we are. Through the truth of Colossians 3:1–4, Romans 6, and 1 John 3, you'll discover that your identity is not something you achieve—it's something you...

SD#170 Renewing Your Purpose
Monday Mindset Reset—A Seeing Deep Podcast
Life throws us curveballs that can throw us off course and off purpose. Our mindsets are shaped largely by our environment without our being aware. Knowing our “why” or our purpose and keeping it in front of us helps us to steer and maintain a healthy, godly mindset. Renewing your purpose will require vigilance to recognize when you are drifting from God's purpose and calling on your life. Don't let failure stop you from living on purpose with the purpose God has for you. We can limit our purpose based on man's limitations or we can simply live on purpose no matter what the results...

SD#169 Renewing Your Resolve
Monday Mindset Reset—A Seeing Deep Podcast
Renewing our minds involves resolving to do so. Resolving to think like Jesus is not just a resolution of the flesh but of the Spirit. And when we resolve to think like Jesus, our suffering and problems in this life are reframed with the gospel. Our resolve is not to suffer, but to have the same attitude and response to suffering that Christ did. Suffering does not have to end in order for us to be able to choose joy. Listen in to this week's Seeing Deep podcast.
info_outlineWhose approval are you living for?
Whether we realize it or not, we're all living before an audience. We replay conversations, compare ourselves to others, seek affirmation, and worry about what people think. But what if the greatest battle of the mind isn't simply negative thinking—it's living for the approval of the wrong audience?
In this episode of Monday Mindset Reset, Dr. Denise Pass explores one of the most subtle mindset traps believers face: people-pleasing and the fear of man. Following the storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, you'll discover how sin shifted humanity's focus from living before God to performing for the approval of others—and how the gospel sets us free to live before an Audience of One.
Through Genesis 3, Proverbs 29:25, Matthew 6, Galatians 1:10, and Revelation 22, you'll learn that lasting freedom comes not from gaining everyone's approval, but from resting securely in God's acceptance through Christ.
In this episode, you'll discover:
How shame entered the world by shifting our focus from God to ourselves.
Why the fear of man becomes a trap that steals our freedom.
What Jesus meant when He taught us to live before "our Father who sees in secret."
Why people-pleasing and faithful discipleship ultimately move in different directions.
How the promise of one day seeing God's face frees us from living for the approval of others today.
This Week's Mindset Reset:
Whenever you catch yourself wondering, "What will people think?" pause and ask:
"Whose approval am I seeking?"
Then choose faithfulness over performance.
Because true freedom begins when God's opinion matters more than everyone else's.
Key Scriptures:
Genesis 3:6–10; Proverbs 29:25; Matthew 6:1–6, 16–18; Galatians 1:10; Revelation 22:3–4
