Heavenly Confident with Kim Reutzel | Increase Faith, Anxiety Bible Verses, Guilt & Shame, Trust in God, Thought Distortions, Mindset

Have you ever wanted your problems to have different results? Most ongoing problems keep repeating because we haven't changed the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that drive them. The good news is that God created your brain to be renewed!
In this episode of Heavenly Confident with Kim Reutzel, Kim shares her Faithful Goal method, which brings together how God designed your brain with your identity in Christ and His promises. You'll learn how to turn a problem into the result you actually want, then work backwards from it with the Holy Spirit. Kim also tells a personal story about praying to experience God's love more deeply, and how a little yellow butterfly outside her office window became the answer.
In this episode:

Starting with surrender: "Be still and know that I am God"
Why "your own understanding" is often the enemy's old interpretations
Situation → thought → emotion → belief → action → result

Do you feel stuck in old patterns of fear, anxiety, or "not enough"? Many of us don't realize we have a past mindset. Our brain automatically pulls from old interpretations and stories to explain what's happening today. But in Christ, you have a brand-new identity!
In this episode of Heavenly Confident with Kim Reutzel, we walk through Scripture together to learn how to notice those old thoughts, take them captive, and renew your mind with God's truth. You'll learn how your feelings act as indicators of what you're believing. You'll also learn why repetition retrains your brain and how to move from fear to the peace that passes all understanding.
Scriptures covered:
John 14:1: Do not let your heart be troubled
Philippians 4:6–7: The peace of God that transcends understanding
John 16:33: Take heart, I have overcome the world
John 14:27: Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid
In this episode:
What a "past mindset" is and how it shapes your present
Why your brain can't tell truth from a lie
How to use your emotions as clues to your thoughts
The simple practice: Pause → Connect to the Holy Spirit → Accept His truth → Redirect → Practice
Why you don't have to prove anything, because Jesus already did
Going to the opposite of the enemy's lie with God's goodness

What is stopping you from receiving, believing, and acting on everything Christ already won for you? Faith and neuroscience are not competing. In this episode, Kim Reutzel explains how God designed your brain, why the amygdala (your "smoke alarm") reacts to imagined threats as if they were real, and how you can partner with the Holy Spirit to renew your mind.
You'll learn three truths that move you from worry to calm:
It is finished. Christ has already won (John 19:30).
I am safe in Christ. There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
God is good and I can rest. Be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10).

Have you ever wondered what it really looks like to live your faith out loud instead of just feeling it? In this episode, Kim breaks down why faith isn't an emotion — it's confidence in what we hope for and assurance in what we can't yet see (Hebrews 11:1). She walks through a simple 3-step framework — Notice, Pick the Promise, and Proceed — to help you catch old fear-based thought patterns and replace them with God's truth.
Kim also dives into the brain science behind this process, explaining how the amygdala (your alarm system), the prefrontal cortex (your "wise boss"), and neural pathways all play a role in how fear becomes automatic — and how you can literally rewire those pathways through practiced faith. You'll walk away with practical tools (like the breath-and-declare technique) and a list of Scripture-based promises to speak over your biggest worries.
If you're ready to stop chasing peace and start walking in it, this episode is for you.

Note: The new Course is FearFULL to FaithFULL - I will let you know when we will be running the new class. 
Moving from Worry & Anxiety to Grace in Trusting God!
So How do we trust God’s Process?  You have heard - Trust the process in so many things in life… in health… in goals… in work… but have you ever thought of being committed to Trusting God’s Process first?
 
Matthew 6:33 (TPT)  "So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly."
 
The things this fallen world make us think are important in God’s Kingdom are less important.  But they appear to be shiny objects for us to pursue. 
 
So many things we have stress and anxiety about take us off the true source of our wanted results!
 
Worrying about what others think
Wanting to buy the latest things
Wanting to be noticed or popular
 
And then what do we do with this… we think this is where our value comes from!
 
Wrong!
 
What result do you want right now…. Peace of Mind?
 
Seeking Gods Kingdom… what is needed to know more about a kingdom… 
 
It’s Nature - who does God say He is?
 
It’s Language - How does it teach us to talk?  Say who we are!  Psalms is all about this.  David was always saying who he was and who God was to and for him. 
 
Seeking His Righteousness - Who you are because the King gives it to you…. Until I know God’s love better - this was always scary because I thought it was dependant on me. 
 
Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)**: "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
 
You Trust the process that - It’s depended on what Christ won back for you! -
 
Romans 3:23-24 (NIV)**: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
 
You Trust the Process of Grace! Him giving us what we could not get ourselves. 
 
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)**: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
What is God’s Grace?
 
Trusting the process of Grace as an unearned favor or kindness from God. Trusting the process of the love and mercy given to us by God, not based on our own merit but on His goodness.
 
Trusting the process of grace as it relates to salvation and your personal relationship with God. Teaching you that salvation is a gift that cannot be earned through works.
How do we go from Worry and Anxiety to Trusting in God’s grace?
 
Notice the worry/Anxiety, Take a few deep Breaths in and out to calm the flood of brain chemicals that cause physical reactions. Take captive of the thought and ask yourself what do I want to happen  - practice that thought a few time… Close your eyes and Practice the thought of what you do want to happen and sense God’s desire for it for you too.  
 
Create an I statements to practice from it.  I trust in God’s Power, I trust in God’s goodness, I trust in Gods ability to calm my heart with the power of His word.
 
Create a God is Statements from it - God loves me, God gives me His peace, God is forever making a way, God takes away my shame, God made me more than enough. 
 
2 Timothy 1:7:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
Proverbs 3:5-6:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
 
Romans 12:2:
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
 
Trust the Process of God’s grace in His word
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
It gives light to fearful thoughts - the light is then shined on what God says he is for you… always will be for you…. Because He is never changing.
The more you know who He is for you the more you know who he truly is and the love and desire for you to know how important you are to him… the easier it is to kick out the lies of worry and replace it with what you want to happen and maybe even expect Him to give you more then you expect!
 
Ephesians 3:20:
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."
That is how you move from worry and anxiety to trusting in God’s grace!
 
May God’s grace fill you with His peace now and forever!
 

Have you ever convinced yourself someone was judging you...without ever speaking to them?
Our minds naturally create stories to explain uncertainty, but those stories aren't always true.
In today's episode, we're talking about what the Bible says about taking our thoughts captive and what neuroscience reveals about why our brains make assumptions in the first place.
You'll discover how predictive processing influences your thinking, why only God knows what's in another person's heart, and how renewing your mind through Christ literally changes the way you think over time.
Most importantly, you'll be encouraged to stop living from fear and start living from God's truth so you can freely love others the way Jesus loves you.
If you've ever struggled with overthinking, self-consciousness, fear of rejection, or making assumptions about others—or yourself—this conversation is for you.
