Why Jesus Begins With How We Think

In today’s episode of the 100xLife Podcast, Rob Dayton dives deep into the role of mindset in actually following Jesus, not just believing in Him.

As the 62 Day Challenge continues, Rob explains why transformation always begins in the mind and why Jesus starts His ministry with the command to repent and believe. Repentance is not about feeling bad. It is about changing the way you think.

Rob unpacks how our thoughts shape our emotions, reactions, and behaviors, often without us realizing it. He challenges listeners to examine the stories they are telling themselves about people, adversity, and even God. Those stories quietly determine whether we live offended, fearful, and reactive, or grounded, peaceful, and loving.

This episode confronts a core issue in modern Christianity. Many believers want outward obedience without inward renewal. Jesus demands the opposite. If you want the abundant life He promises, your mindset has to be rebuilt around His truth.

You will hear:

• Why mindset determines whether you can live the words of Jesus
• What repentance actually means and why Jesus starts there
• How thoughts program emotions and automatic reactions
• Why most offense, worry, and fear are mindset issues
• How attaching new meaning can create an unoffendable heart
• Why believing comes before seeing in the Kingdom
• How an eternal mindset reshapes adversity, leadership, and love
