Season 5 Day 2: Lessons from Olive Pressing- When Our Fruit is Pressed for Something Greater
Title: Season 5 Episode 2 – Lessons from Olive Pressing- When Our Fruit is Pressed for Something Greater. Summary: Welcome to Season 5 of the Rewire Your Brain Podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bagwell. This episode is titled: Lessons from Olive Pressing- When Our Fruit is Pressed for Something Greater. I share with you a bit about the neuroscience of neuroplasticity, how God gave us way more power over our thoughts than we could ever imagine and the super easy prompts that help us focus in on Jesus and the positive things He is doing in our lives. Each prompt draws you closer to Jesus and helps you to see Him and all the miracles He has placed throughout your day more clearly. Today's scripture is Leviticus 24:1-2 and we are discussing times in our lives when pruning and refining turns into a pressing season. 🎙 What You'll Hear How staying consistent is essential for rewiring your brain: "neurons that fire together wire together." The inverse truth: more negative thoughts = more negative thoughts and stronger negative neural pathways, and why that's good news—because God created you with the ability to quickly add more positive thoughts in your brain that will completely change your life. The difference in what fruit provides versus what oil provides both from a biblical and a nutrient standpoint.

Season 5 Episode 1: Yielding Peaceful Fruit
Title: Season 5 Episode 1 – "Yielding Peaceful Fruit" (Rewire Your Brain Podcast) Summary: Welcome to Season 5 of the Rewire Your Brain Podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bagwell. In this Season 5 premier episode titled "Yielding Peaceful Fruit," I share with you a bit about the neuroscience of neuroplasticity, how God gave us way more power over our thoughts than we could ever imagine and the super easy prompts that help us focus in on Jesus and the positive things He is doing in our lives. Season 5 has two new updates to the format- 1) You no longer need to pause and unpause between prompts (this helps minimize an influx of beta brain waves during prayer time) and 2)I have updated the affirmations section to specifically target rewiring over negative neural pathways. Each prompt draws you closer to Jesus and helps you to see Him and all the miracles He has placed throughout your day more clearly. Today's scripture is Hebrews 12:11 and we are talking about areas of our life that God is pruning and areas that have yielded peaceful fruit. 🎙 What You'll Hear How staying consistent is essential for rewiring your brain: "neurons that fire together wire together." The inverse truth: more negative thoughts = more negative thoughts and stronger negative neural pathways, and why that's good news—because God created you with the ability to quickly add more positive thoughts in your brain that will completely change your life. The biblical foundation: Hebrews 12:11 "For the moment, all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." Why the sight of a device (even inactive) can keep you in a beta-state of fight/flight—and how we're adapting our format accordingly. Season 5 format explained: silent prayer, micro- & macro-gratitude, groan-to-gratitude statements, journalling prompt, meditation, affirmations, action and reflection. How to use your notebook, pen, PDF worksheets and the new format for stronger positive neural pathways. How to sign up for the free newsletter (Bible-study + neuroscience) and join Patreon for extra worksheets. 📝 Key Prompts & Exercises Micro Gratitude: Ten things you are grateful for Macro Gratitude: Three bigger things you're thankful for Groan → Gratitude Statements Prayer: Write a prayer about what's on your heart today Journal Challenge: What areas in your life are being pruned and refined? What areas are bearing fruit now that were once in a pruning season? What lessons did you learn when you were being pruned? Write a prayer of thanks for both your fruit and your pruning. Meditation with Jesus Affirmations / Identity in Christ: Action & Reflection: Reflect on current pruning & current fruit. Use lessons from past pruning for today's situation. Identify one very small action you can take today. Write what God is putting on your heart or saying to you today. 🎧 Who This Episode Is For Anyone feeling stuck, anxious, restless or depleted and seeking peace, clarity and rewiring Faith-driven listeners wanting to integrate neuroscience and biblical truth Overachievers, perfectionists, ADHD-brains and productivity seekers who need a framework for nervous-system regulation Coaches, therapists, faith-leaders looking for brain-based conversation starters 🔍 Keywords & Topics Covered brain rewiring · neuroplasticity · Hebb's Law · nervous-system regulation · spiritual growth · Christian neuroscience · pruning and fruit metaphor · Hebrews 12:11 · gratitude practice · affirmations · device stress · silent prayer format · journalling prompts 📌 Resources & Links Free newsletter sign-up & devotional emails: Free Newsletter & Devotional Emails Divine Rewire Program + The Divine Prescription School: The Divine Rewire Program Info Sponsor: Just Ingredients – JustIngredients.us (Use code Rewire for 20% off) Worksheet PDFs (Patreon): patreon.com/LizBagwell Follow on Instagram: @lizbagwell7 Scripture: Hebrews 12:11 (ESV) ✅ Call to Action If you found value in today's episode: Subscribe and leave a review – it helps more people find the show!

Sharing an Important Life & Podcast Update
Thank you in advance for your prayers and support. This was the hardest and most vulnerable I've ever been. Three hours after publishing the episode on Friday, Sept 12th, I took it down. I panicked and felt too exposed. Somehow, Apple kept it up for three more days- which technelogically speaking shouldn't be possible. I realized then that God really was speaking to me all those weeks before when He said, "I want them to know." I saw all the ways the Holy Spirit was moving in the podcast and could not make sense of the financial situation. I spent weeks trying to discern how I was supposed to keep going if financially it was not feasible. That is when He kept saying to me, "I want them to know." It is entirely against my flesh, against every business advice and certainly nothing a therapist would tell me to do. But here I am, being obedient and espeically now that God kept it up for three days after I deleted it. I'm grateful He covers me even in my humanness. Thank you for letting me trust you with this information, your support, and your prayers.
