"The Truth Will Set You Free."
So why do so many believers who know the Truth still feel stuck?
If you've spent any significant time pursuing spiritual growth, you've likely done all the right things. You've read the books. Completed the studies. Filled notebooks with sermon notes and theological insights. At this point, you probably possess more knowledge about God than most people will ever acquire in a lifetime.
And yet...
Sunday's sermon still fades by Tuesday afternoon. The verses you've committed to memory don't seem to quiet the anxiety. Your devotional life feels more like an obligation than an actual dialogue. That persistent sense that there must be something more never fully goes away.
So you do what you've always been taught to do.
You try harder. You pray more. You purchase another curriculum. You register for another conference.
But here's what most spiritual formation programs fail to address:
You can possess great theology and still operate from terrible beliefs.
This is the gap that most discipleship models overlook entirely.
The Apostle Paul didn't merely promise us information about Christ. He promised us the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16).
Not simply knowledge about how Christ thought, but His actual way of thinking. His perspective. His mental framework.
That is what your theology was always designed to produce. Not content that accumulates in your head. A mind that genuinely thinks like His.
You don't need to try harder.
You need to believe differently.
That is precisely why The Renewed Mind Academy exists.
A Year of Systematic Mind Renewal with Andy and Jenny Fitzgerald
Every Thursday at 4:30 PM PST/ 7:30 PM EST on Zoom for teaching, Q&A, and guided practice.
What You’ll Receive
-

Weekly Live Sessions with Andy and Jenny
Some weeks Andy goes deep on a specific aspect of mind renewal. Some weeks Jenny walks you through identifying and exchanging a specific lie. Some weeks we process what you're actually facing. It varies because renewal isn't a formula.
-

The Framework That Set Us Free
The "Great Theology, Bad Beliefs" distinction. The lie-identification process. The belief-exchange method. The daily renewal practice. Everything that took Andy from decades of morning dread to genuine hope, and freed Jenny from nine years of panic attacks. We hand you the exact process.
-

Private Online Community
Other believers who get it. Who are done with information that doesn't produce freedom. You won't walk this alone.
-

Live Q&A and Real-Time Processing
Bring your actual questions. Your real struggles. The situations you're navigating right now. We'll work through them together.
-

Session Replays
Every session recorded and available as long as you're part of the Academy. Life happens. You won't fall behind.
-

Access to the Beliefs Coaching & Hearing God's Voice Courses
The same belief-identification and renewal process Jenny uses with private clients. Included free.
-

Weekly Testimonies
Every session will contain real stories from real people in the room experiencing real freedom. Hope is contagious. You'll catch it.
-

Prayer and Ministry Time
We don't just talk about God. We make space for Him to speak. Every session includes time to hear from Him and receive from Him.
12 Core Themes Over the Year:
Change your life by renewing your mind
Why transformed people have great beliefs first, then priorities, then habits
Your mind as the crucial battleground of freedom
Why trying harder never works and believing differently actually does
Living from your new identity in Christ
The Holy Spirit as your power source, not your willpower
Why any area of your life that isn't glistening with hope is under the influence of a lie
God's hope for every area of your life, even if you don't have any
The practice of exchanging lies for truth
Daily declarations that rewire old thought patterns
Taking every thought captive and making it submit to Christ
Becoming a person of influence through becoming a person of hope
Here's a taste of what you'll discover inside our mentorship school:
✅ Why "trying harder" is actually making your spiritual life WORSE. And what to do instead that produces more fruit with less striving.
✅ The "Great Theology, Bad Beliefs" distinction that explains why seminary graduates can still wake up in dread every morning. Once you see this gap, you can't unsee it.
✅ How to understand what God's is saying clearly and consistently. Even if you've never heard anything before and secretly wondered if something was wrong with you.
✅ The reason your anxiety doesn't “respond” to Scripture memory. And the one shift that finally gets God's Word past your head and into the place where you actually live.
✅ The "New Picture" method Jenny uses to help people break patterns and fears they've carried for decades.
✅ How to stop performing for God and start actually enjoying Him — Most Christians have no idea there's a difference.
✅ The surprising connection between what you believe about yourself and what you're able to receive from God. Get this wrong and you'll limit how you experience His love.
✅ Why "any area of your life that isn't glistening with hope" is the diagnostic that changes everything. Once you learn to ask this question, you'll never look at your struggles the same way.
✅ The "Beliefs First" framework that flips traditional discipleship on its head. Most approaches start with behavior. That's backwards. Here's why and what to do instead.
✅ How to stop the cycle of "try harder, fail, feel guilty, try harder again" that has kept you stuck for years. This cycle isn't evidence of weak faith. It's evidence of a wrong approach.
✅ How to exchange the lies you've carried for decades for what God actually says is true. And how to make that exchange stick.

Our Story
-
Andy woke up every morning with dread. Not occasionally. Every morning. For decades. Into his 50s. A guy with a doctorate in theology, spinning with fear before his feet hit the floor:
“What if we run out of money?” “What if the church fails?” “What if I'm not enough?”
He tried more prayer. More fasting. More discipline. Nothing worked.
Jenny battled panic attacks for nearly nine years. She couldn't drive over bridges (which in San Francisco was not a lot of fun…) Nine years of fighting something that all her Bible knowledge couldn't touch.
We had the theology. We had the training. We had the degrees.
None of it was setting us free.
Then we heard a phrase that changed everything:
"Any area of your life that isn't glistening with hope is under the influence of a lie."
And it clicked.
Andy didn't have a faith problem. He had a belief problem. Great theology. Terrible beliefs.
He could teach everything the Bible says about peace. But he didn't believe it applied to him. Not where he actually lived his life.
The solution wasn't more information. It was systematic mind renewal. Identifying the lies running in the background and exchanging them for what God actually says is true.
When Andy did this, the dread lifted. When Jenny renewed her mind with truth, the panic lost its grip. Today she drives over bridges without a second thought.
We've since walked hundreds of people through this same process. Pastors. Leaders. Parents. People who had tried everything and were starting to believe freedom was for everyone else.
This is theology that actually works.
And now we want to spend a year walking you through it.
In The Renewed Mind Academy, you'll get Andy's theological depth. The guy who can connect Paul's letters to your Tuesday morning anxiety.
You'll get Jenny's discipleship expertise. The woman who has helped countless people hear God's voice and exchange the lies stealing their hope.
Weekly teaching. Live Q&A. Guided spiritual formation.
All as a part of a community of people done settling for theology that doesn't touch real life.
By the end of this year, you won't just know more about God. You'll believe differently about yourself.
You've tried harder long enough.
It's time to believe differently.
You’ll Also Discover
✅ The single biggest reason your quiet time feels like a monologue instead of a conversation. Hint it has nothing to do with how much you are reading or how early you wake up.
✅ A simple way to identify the specific lies running in the background of your mind. Most people have believed these so long they do not even recognize them as lies anymore.
✅ Why some Christians can quote every verse about peace and still feel none of it. And how to close that gap for good.
✅ What to do when you know the right answer theologically but cannot make yourself believe it emotionally. This is where most discipleship approaches completely miss people.
✅ The real reason Sunday’s sermon fades by Tuesday. And how to make truth stick in a way that actually changes how you think feel and live.
✅ A weekly practice that systematically dismantles the false beliefs you have carried your whole life. One lie at a time. One truth at a time. Until your whole mind is renewed.
✅ Why more information is the last thing you need right now. And what you need instead that most of us were simply never taught.
✅ How Andy went from waking up in dread every single morning for decades to waking up with genuine hope. And how you can experience the same shift.
✅ How Jenny went from nine years of panic attacks to driving over bridges without a second thought. It was not more prayer. It was not more willpower. It was something most of us have never been taught.
✅ The one question that reveals whether you actually believe what you say you believe. Most people fail this test without even realizing it.
✅ Why knowing God loves you in your head does almost nothing if you do not believe it in your gut. And how to get the truth to travel those eighteen inches from your head to your heart.
✅ A guided encounter that helps people hear directly from Scripture the lies they have been believing. This is grounded in God’s Word. And it works.
✅ The reason most Christian conferences give you an emotional high that disappears within seventy two hours. And what you can do to make the impact stick.
✅ How to identify the background programs running in your subconscious mind that sabotage your peace your relationships and your walk with God.
✅ What Paul actually meant when he promised us the mind of Christ. Spoiler it was not just theological information. It was an entirely different way of thinking.
✅ The surprising reason some of the most theologically educated Christians are also some of the most anxious exhausted and joyless.
✅ Why renewing your mind does not mean what most people think it means. And the missing element that turns Romans twelve two from a nice idea into an actual experience.
✅ The little known connection between unprocessed lies and physical symptoms like chronic anxiety sleeplessness and low grade dread you cannot seem to shake.
✅ How to stop trying harder and start believing differently. These six words will reframe your entire approach to following Jesus.
✅ The role of the Holy Spirit in mind renewal that most Christians were never shown. This is not hype. It is the missing piece.
✅ The difference between knowing you are a child of God and actually believing it when you look in the mirror. One is theology. The other is freedom.
Meet Your Guides
We're Andy and Jenny Fitzgerald.
Andy holds a doctorate in contextual theology from Northern Seminary and served as an adjunct professor at A.W. Tozer Seminary. He spent over a decade as a lead pastor and church planter in the San Francisco Bay Area and authored A Powerful Presence: An Evangelical Pastor Visits Bethel Church.
Jenny is a certified Beliefs Coach and Co-Director of Beliefs Training with Igniting Hope Ministries. She has personally walked hundreds of people through the process of identifying false beliefs and exchanging them for truth.
Between us, we have over thirty years of ministry experience. We've been married for twenty-five years, have four children, and live in Redding, California.
But here's what actually matters for this year together.
Andy knows how to connect Paul's letters to your Tuesday morning anxiety. He brings the theological depth and biblical framework.
Jenny knows how to walk you into an encounter where Jesus speaks directly to the lies you've been believing. She brings the practical process and the encounter piece.
Theology plus encounter. Head plus heart. Truth that doesn't just sit in your notes but actually gets down into the place where you live.
We've lived everything we teach. And we've helped hundreds of others experience the same freedom.
Who The Renewed Mind Academy Is For
✅ Christians who love God but sense there's more. You know there's a depth of freedom and connection with God that you haven't experienced yet. You're ready to find it.
✅ Anyone who knows the right things but doesn't feel them. You could teach what the Bible says about peace and joy. But when you're honest, that knowledge hasn't reached the place where you actually live. You're ready to close that gap.
✅ People who are tired of trying harder. You've done the reading. The praying. The disciplines. And you're exhausted from striving. You're ready to discover that freedom doesn't come from more effort. It comes from believing differently.
✅ Those who wake up with anxiety, dread, or heaviness they can't explain. You've prayed about it. Maybe for years. Nothing has shifted. You're ready for a different approach that actually gets to the root.
✅ Believers who have areas of life that aren't filled with hope. Marriage. Parenting. Finances. Future. Calling. You believe God is good. But hope feels distant in certain areas. You're ready to find out why and do something about it.
✅ Anyone hungry to hear God's voice more clearly. You've wondered if something is wrong with you. If other people hear Him and you just don't. You're ready to learn that hearing God isn't for the super-spiritual. It's for you.
✅ People willing to commit to a year of growth. You know there are no quick fixes. You're ready to show up week after week, do the work, and watch your mind be renewed one truth at a time.
Who This Is Not For
❌ People looking for more information. If you want another study to add to the shelf, this isn't it. We're after truth that actually reaches your heart, not just your head.
❌ Anyone expecting a quick fix. If you want to feel inspired for a weekend and go back to the same patterns by Monday, this won't be for you. This is a year of real change.
❌ Those who aren't ready to look inward. This process requires honesty. If you're not willing to examine what you actually believe underneath your theology, this won't work.
❌ People who think the answer is more effort. If you're looking for more discipline and willpower, you're in the wrong place. We teach the opposite. Freedom comes from believing differently, not trying harder.
❌ Anyone who wants to stay comfortable. We make space for God to speak. We go after lies that have been hiding for years. If you want to stay where you are, this isn't your room.
Questions You Might Be Asking
-
A: No. Positive thinking tries to override reality with optimism. Mind renewal identifies specific lies you're believing and exchanges them for what God actually says is true. It's rooted in Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and the rest of Scripture. Andy has a doctorate in theology. Everything we teach connects directly to what Paul taught about the mind. This isn't self-help. It's biblical discipleship that actually reaches the places where you live.
-
A: You can know that God is good and still believe disaster is around every corner. You can know you're forgiven and still feel like a failure every day. You can teach about peace and wake up anxious. Theology is what you know. Beliefs are what you actually operate from. Most of us have a gap between the two. This year closes that gap.
-
A: Often the longest-tenured believers are the most stuck because they've been carrying the same lies longer. Knowing more hasn't fixed it. Trying harder hasn't fixed it. That's actually the point. This isn't about how much you know. It's about what you believe underneath what you know. Some of our most significant breakthroughs have been with people who've walked with God for forty years.
-
A: About 90 minutes for the live session, plus whatever time you choose to spend on the practical exercises. Some weeks you'll engage more deeply. Some weeks life gets full. Replays are always available. This isn't meant to add pressure to your life. It's meant to renew your mind so you actually experience more peace.
-
A: Every session is recorded and available as long as you're part of the Academy. Life happens. You won't miss anything. That said, live is better because you can ask questions and process in real time with us. But there's no guilt here. This isn't about perfection. It's about progress.
-
A: Books give you information. This gives you a year of implementation with guides who have been where you are. You can read about mind renewal. Or you can spend a year actually doing it with two people who will walk with you, answer your questions, and help you identify the specific lies running in the background of your specific life. Information isn't the problem. Application is. That's what this year provides.
-
A: That's okay. This is your journey. You don't need anyone's permission to renew your mind. Often what happens is that as you change, the people around you start asking questions. Freedom is contagious. You won't need to convince anyone. They'll see the difference.
-
A: We're not therapists and this isn't therapy. Counseling often focuses on processing the past or managing symptoms. Mind renewal focuses on identifying the lies underneath your emotions and exchanging them for truth. Both have value. They're just different. Many people do both. What we offer is a biblical framework for systematically renewing how you think, which often shifts emotions that years of other approaches haven't touched.
-
A: Perfect. So is Andy. He's a theologian. He spent decades in his head. And that's exactly why he was stuck. The goal isn't to become more emotional. The goal is to get truth from your head into the place where you actually live. That's a different thing entirely. This process works for thinkers, feelers, and everyone in between.
-
A: We understand. Many people have been told that hearing God is for super-spiritual people or comes with weird pressure to manufacture experiences. That's not what we teach. Jenny has walked hundreds of people through this process, including many who were deeply skeptical. Hearing God is simpler and more accessible than most of us were taught. And it's grounded in Scripture, not hype.
-
A: No. Anxiety and dread are common entry points because they're so painful. But this process applies to any area of life that isn't filled with hope. Marriage. Parenting. Calling. Finances. Future. Leadership. Confidence. Identity. If there's an area where you're stuck, striving, or struggling, there's probably a lie underneath it. This year helps you find it and exchange it for truth.
-
A: You've spent decades building the thought patterns you have now. They don't get renewed in a weekend. Real change happens through consistent, systematic renewal over time. That's why conferences fade by Monday. That's why most books don't stick. A year gives you time to actually rewire how you think, not just get inspired and return to the same patterns. Fifty-two weeks. One lie at a time. One truth at a time. That's how lasting change happens.
-
A: Andy holds a doctorate in contextual theology from Northern Seminary and serves as an adjunct professor at A.W. Tozer Seminary. Jenny is a certified Beliefs Coach who has personally walked hundreds of people through this process. More importantly, we've lived it. Andy carried morning dread for decades until he learned these principles. Jenny battled panic attacks for nine years. We teach what set us free.
-
A: We can't guarantee your results because we can't do the work for you. What we can tell you is that this process has changed our lives and the lives of hundreds of others. People who were stuck for decades. People who had tried everything else. If you show up, engage, and do the work, you will not be the same person at the end of this year.
