Revelation Within On the Go!
Revelation Within equips people with life-giving, grace-infused mind renewal tools to deepen their intimacy with Jesus so that counterfeit comforts (like overeating) lose their allure, and the joy and hope of Jesus fills their lives, satisfying their souls.
In our podcast we talk about mind renewal, tips and tricks for getting and staying free from counterfeit comforts like overeating (over-scrolling, over-drinking, over-anythinging...)
We began as Thin Within in 1975, a pioneer in intuitive, mindful eating back when diets were in their hey day! Thin Within has taught people how to tune in to their body's natural signals of hunger and satisfaction, remaining present with their meals and delighting in tastes and textures--and the Lord!
In the 1980s, Thin Within became a Christian ministry, showing people that the emptiness that they have felt and often filled with food that their bodies don't require, was really placed in there to be filled full with God through Jesus. He wants to set us free from all strongholds!
We rebranded our ministry and our podcast in 2023 to Revelation Within.

Hi and welcome to our podcast, revelation Within On the Go. I'm Heidi Wiles-Meperson, one of your hosts and the owner and lead coach of the RevelationWithinorg ministry.
Speaker 2:And I'm Christina Motley, your other host, also a Revelation Within coach and Heidi's partner in all things Revelation Within. We are so excited to invite you to this special episode of Revelation Within On the show. We have a special December series for you. Each day, a short mind renewal meditation will be released, lasting about five minutes. We hope these encourage you to press in closer to Jesus this year.
Speaker 1:Hi, this is Heidi Biles-Mett-Epperson and I have a mind renewal meditation that I want to do on forgiveness. Ephesians 4.32 says Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Similarly, colossians 3.13 says Bear with each other and forgive one another. If any of you has a grievance against someone, forgive, as the Lord forgave you. One of the offense. To last, to kind of ponder it and retell the story in my own thinking Lord, that's not healthy, that's not helpful, it's not going to honor others who I tell the story to, it's not going to edify it's speech. That doesn't bless others and, god, it certainly doesn't free me. Lord, I want to surrender offense today. I want to be one who is not easily offended. I want to be one who is quick to forgive, not easily offended. I want to be one who is quick to forgive, not a sanctified denial, not just slapping on it. Yep, I forgive them for whatever they've done, because that probably isn't the real deal. But, lord, it also doesn't require of me that I take a half-day retreat and journal through everything and anything about it, whatever the transgression might be. Lord, you forgave me and do forgive me. I'm told to forgive as you have forgiven me, and you have forgiven me instantaneously. You haven't had to sit down and journal through all the wrongs that I've done to you.
Speaker 1:Lord, I want to forgive in the moment, I want to live forgiving. I think of your word, lord, that tells me in Hebrews 12, that I need to consider that I'm surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. Let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles and run with endurance the race set out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In this passage, I see that I am encouraged to cast off anything that hinders my ability to run the race with endurance, the race that you have prepared for me. The course is set. I am to fix my eyes on you. I am to forgive, as you have forgiven me. You have endured such hostility, such vile treatment, and yet you pressed on. You did not revile in return, you did not rebuke in return, you were led as a lamb to slaughter.
Speaker 1:Lord, I want to love others well. I want to lay down a fence. I want to surrender my need to be treated as I feel I deserve. I want to give that entitlement to you, to crucify it, to lay it down and not pick it up again. I want to surrender that, lord.
Speaker 1:If I think over decades of holiday gatherings at Christmastime, there are many holiday gatherings where I was offended. But, god, I don't need to take those experiences with me, not another moment, not another moment, and not into this Christmas and celebration of Christmas. I do not need to take it with me. I can surrender it, I can lay it down. I can choose to forgive both those who are living, who have never asked me for forgiveness, as well as those who have passed away, who will never ask me for my forgiveness. I can lay it down and forgive as you have forgiven me, instantaneously, with a generous heart, casting off anything that hinders and encumbers me from the race you have prepared for me. Thank you, lord, that, with the strength you supply, I will do that In Jesus' name, amen.
