Master Reset Podcast with Nigel Brown

When I was a teenager, I constantly compared myself with others. As a result, I developed many self-sabotaging beliefs, which produced feelings of inferiority, inadequacy and insecurity. I felt worthless and it seemed like my life had no purpose. These limiting beliefs negatively affected my health (mental and physical), how I related with others, and how I performed academically in school. I started finding my identity in Christ and realised that the first step to transforming my life, was renewing my mind (Romans 12:2). This was the game changer and after allowing the Lord to renew my mind, I became a secure and confident person who knew (and functioned in) his identity and purpose in life. For over twenty five years, I’ve coached, mentored and pastored teenagers and young adults. A few years ago, I started a life coaching business called - ‘Master Reset’, aimed at taking people from where they are, to where they want to be. I’ve written four books and recently launched the ‘Master Reset Podcast’, with the mission of helping children of God overcome mental & spiritual blockages and align their lifestyles with their God-given purpose. Thank you for listening. My books: https://masterreset.co.za/book-resources/

Have you ever thought: ‘I need to know this in order for me to have peace’? The implication of this mindset is that your peace is based on what you know.

Nigel briefly unpacks the deeper meaning of living your life in God’s peace, as opposed to the peace that the world offers.
