Many Christians work tirelessly to “look” like the person they believe God wants them to be. They adjust habits, refine routines, and try to manage their emotions through sheer determination. But behavior alone cannot produce the peace, joy, and freedom Scripture promises. Be Transformed: New Life Awaits teaches that God’s goal is not to polish the old self—it’s to create a new one from the inside out.
When we focus on behavior, we end up living with a quiet internal conflict. Outwardly, we may appear committed and spiritually mature, but inwardly we still wrestle with fear, insecurity, resentment, or old wounds. This disconnect eventually wears us down. We can only “act” like a new person for so long before the heart reveals what still needs healing. Transformation requires becoming someone new, not pretending to be someone new.
This truth is powerfully illustrated in the podcast What Makes You Tick. It explains how our internal drivers—our fears, unmet needs, and hidden motivations—shape our decisions far more than our intentions do. Until those drivers are healed and replaced with God’s truth, we will continue to struggle with the same patterns, no matter how hard we try to change our behavior. Real transformation begins when the heart is rewired, not when the schedule is rearranged.
Becoming new requires surrender. It means allowing God to expose the deeper issues beneath our actions and trusting Him to reshape what we cannot fix ourselves. This process is not about striving; it’s about yielding. As God transforms the heart, the external changes follow naturally. Peace becomes steady. Decisions become clearer. And obedience becomes a joyful response rather than a burdensome effort.
If you’re tired of trying to “look” transformed and ready to actually become new, invite God to work at the heart level. Let Him reshape your motivations, desires, and identity. And to deepen this journey, listen to the podcast What Makes You Tick for insight into how God heals the internal drivers that shape your life.
