What does it mean to truly live for Christ?

Romans 12:1-2 calls believers to offer themselves as a living sacrifice and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. Remarkably, modern neuroscience is increasingly confirming what Scripture has taught for centuries: our minds can be renewed and reshaped.

In this video, Dr. Ben Carson and Iraqi war veteran Dr. Lee Warren discuss the fascinating connection between faith, thought patterns, and neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new neural pathways. Their insights highlight how intentional thinking, spiritual disciplines, and a Christ-centered life can literally help rewire the brain. What science calls neuroplasticity, Romans 12:2 describes as the renewal of the mind.

When we consistently focus on God's truth rather than the world's patterns, transformation occurs from the inside out. As our thinking changes, our actions, attitudes, and lives follow. This is not merely behavior modification; it is genuine transformation through God's power working in us.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." — Romans 12:2

Faith and neuroscience together point to an encouraging reality: change is possible. God designed our minds with the capacity for renewal, growth, and transformation.

Can you really “rewire” your brain? And what does modern neuroscience say about what the Bible has taught for thousands of years? In this compelling convers...

Honor. Accountability. Restoration. Mission.

Today we celebrate the completion of another Operation Barnabas veterans class inside the Duval County Montgomery Correctional Center. These men once wore the uniform of our nation, and through partnership, mentorship, and faith, we are committed to helping them restore the valor, purpose, and brotherhood many have lost along the way.

We are grateful for the partnership and commitment of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and the Montgomery Correctional team for believing that restoration is possible and that no veteran should be forgotten.

Special thanks to our incredible instructors, Coop and Julius, for faithfully showing up, pouring into these veterans, and demonstrating leadership, accountability, and the love of Jesus Christ week after week.

The mission continues.

Isolation is a battlefield too.
Too many veterans and first responders are carrying heavy things alone — and losing ground in silence.

You were never meant to fight by yourself.

Join us every Monday(Orlando) or Tuesday(Jacksonville) at “Community & Connection” — our small groups of four or five veterans we call "fire teams" and are a place for real community, honest conversations, encouragement, and connection with other men and women who understand the weight of service.

No pretending. No judgment. Just people locking shields together and moving forward.

📍 Discovery Church Sandlake
🕡 Mondays at 6:30 PM
📍 881 Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32809

📍 The Church of Eleven22 Orange Park
🕡 Tuesdays at 6:30 PM
📍 317 Blanding Blvd, Orange Park, FL 32073

If you’ve been isolating, this is your invitation to step back into community.
Your team is waiting for you.

What an incredible picture of generosity in action.

The TPC Sawgrass Storytellers don’t just tell the history of the game — they use every tip and gratuity they receive to change lives right here in our community. Through their servant hearts, veterans struggling with homelessness, instability, and crisis are finding hope, housing, and restoration through Operation Barnabas.

Since 2007, these volunteers have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars simply by sharing stories and creating unforgettable experiences for guests at TPC Sawgrass. And instead of keeping the tips, they pour them back into organizations serving people in need — including the veterans of Operation Barnabas Inc..

We are deeply grateful for the Storytellers and their commitment to honoring veterans in such a meaningful way. Their kindness is helping make veterans whole again. 🇺🇸

Watch this powerful story here and thank you to our friend WJXT4 Joy Purdy for also being an amazing storyteller:

What a powerful day for the Kingdom!

We’re celebrating one of our incredible church partners The Church of Eleven22 after witnessing 2,552 baptisms — lives forever changed by the Gospel and the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Operation Barnabas was honored to have Barnabas Champions on the beach serving, encouraging, praying, and standing alongside so many taking their next step of faith. What a reminder that when the body of Christ comes together, lives are transformed.

From the shoreline to the water, you could feel hope, freedom, and new beginnings everywhere. We are grateful to partner with churches boldly reaching people and making an eternal impact.

We see you Guy Beard Designs! Thank you for wearing your shirt proudly!

“All of heaven rejoices.” 🙌🌊✝️

Accepting the consequences for his actions, taking responsibility for the long sentence…yet finding a peace no sentence could ever take away.

This week through Operation Barnabas’ Restored Valor Jail Mission, a veteran in one of our jails surrendered his life to Jesus Christ after hearing the Gospel through the Romans Road.

After praying to receive Christ, he said:
“I now feel a peace that no money can buy… and me facing a long setence is nothing because I know He walks with me.”

This is why we go.

Not just to jails…
but to the forgotten.
The broken.
The hopeless.
The men and women society has given up on.

Because Jesus still transforms lives behind bars.

Please continue praying for every inmate searching for hope and for every Operation Barnabas instructor boldly walking into jails to share the Gospel, restore dignity, and remind these veterans they are not beyond redemption.

One more soul added to the Kingdom. All glory to God!
