Do Not Be Conformed to This World

What does it actually mean to “not be conformed to this world”? And what if modern neuroscience confirms what the apostle Paul wrote 2,000 years ago? In this episode of the Radically Christian Podcast, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson explore the biblical concept of “the world” as a lens, framework, and normalized pattern of rebellion against God. Drawing from Romans 12, the Epistle to Diognetus, and the latest brain science research, they unpack how our thoughts physically reshape our brains—and why that matters for spiritual formation. Discover how the early Christians lived as radical nonconformists, learn to identify the lies that keep you stuck, and find out how speaking the truth of the gospel back to those lies can literally transform your mind. Your playlist matters more than you think.
