Training the Mind in Truth (Part 1): Awareness Is Not the Goal
WRAP Yourself in the Word
In this episode of WRAP Yourself in the Word, Joni begins a new series on Training the Mind in Truth by addressing a common cultural message: that awareness of our thoughts is the key to transformation.

Rooted in Christ, Not Results
WRAP Yourself in the Word
In this episode, Joni clarifies a foundational truth: obedience is not the goal of the Christian life but the path we walk as we abide in Christ. She contrasts a Christ-centered life with a self-focused world obsessed with life hacks, control, and engineered outcomes, exposing how obedience subtly becomes a strategy rather than a response of surrender. Rooted in John 15 and Colossians 2, this episode calls listeners back to abiding first, trusting God’s character, and walking in quiet, relational faithfulness.
