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.

Revelation Within On the Go!
December Surrender Day 26: Finding Joy After a Mess-Up
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.
Join us as we share a mind renewal prayer and meditation using verses from Philippians 3. This one focuses on what to think after a mess-up and the blessing and joy that comes from learning from the failure (look and learn) rather than allowing the failure to define me and just quitting. The discussion emphasizes turning to God’s unwavering love and mercy, finding solace in His presence instead of temporary solutions. Listeners are invited to meet their emotional and spiritual needs through Him, leaving behind shame and embracing His abundant grace. This episode serves as a reminder of the joy and blessings found in learning from failure and trusting God for future victories.

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, and I'm Christina.
Speaker 2: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 and Christina with a mind renewal meditation on the joy of look and learn. This just is so helpful to me when I don't feel good about the way things went yesterday, last night, last week, an hour ago. Lord Jesus, yesterday, Christmas Day was a really big deal to me and I had such lofty expectations for myself and how I would manage emotionally, spiritually, physically. I didn't meet my own expectations at all, but I thank you, Lord, for the words of Paul the Apostle. He said in Philippians 3 that he hadn't yet acquired the absolute fullness that he was pursuing. He also said I run with passion into God's abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover.
Speaker 1:He went on to say I don't depend on my own strength to accomplish this. However, I do have one compelling focus I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future. Instead, I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory prize through the anointing of Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for Philippians 3, verses 12 to 14. And I too run with passion into you, into your abundance, into your goodness. I am going to look and learn with you about the mishaps of yesterday, a day when I expected so much of myself and disappointed myself. God, you have something for me here, as we look and learn together.
Speaker 2:Lord, I wait for you today. Help me to know what I need to know about what went sideways yesterday. Lord, help me to learn from the mess up. I have my Bible open beside me and my pen in hand, ready to write down in my journal what you impress on me. Lord, I am welcoming you in, I am calling to you and I know that you are there. Lord, I sense you, I feel your presence right now. Come and be with me. I need you, lord. I can't do this by myself and I don't want to soak in shame. I want to let go of my shame. I want you to restore me, to refresh me, to renew me. Let's keep going, lord, together. I love you.
Speaker 1:Oh Lord, I am so blessed that there is no condemnation in Christ. Your word in Romans 8, 1 promises this to me and I'm so thankful for fresh beginnings. Your mercies are new each morning and I believe your mercies are new each moment. So, lord, I know that as I look with you upon yesterday's mishap, I can experience lessons that I can learn and actually be equipped for victory going forward. Lord, would you show me what do I need to do so that, in the future, my heart is more likely to want what you want, so that I have desires that are in line with your desires for me? Was there something I needed emotionally that I looked to food to supply, lord? That's just going to disappoint. So show me how I can turn to you to have those needs met instead of turning to food. Lord, I want to be prepared for the next time and I know you can use what happened yesterday to equip me to be stronger, to be better, to be just ready, dialed in, leaning on you, experiencing your support, your enoughness in the temptation.
Speaker 2:Lord Jesus, what is true in this moment, what is true about you and how you see me in this moment as I come to you after my mess up? What is true is that you are like a father to me, lord, tender and compassionate. What is true is that you crown me with your love and mercy. You wrap me in goodness. That's what is true, lord. What is true is that your steadfast love is from everlasting to everlasting. I love that, lord. I love soaking in these truths. What is true, lord, is that every single day and right now, in this moment, you pour your unfailing love on me. What is true is that you receive my prayer on me.
Speaker 1:What is true is that you receive my prayer. You are close. There is nothing I can do to be separated from the love of christ. I rejoice in that truth. God, I want to surrender my tendency to end up in all or nothing thinking. Instead, I know you teach me through my failures. You have, again and again, I've learned so much over these years through turning to you about my failures. Lord, I want to acquire the fullness that Paul mentions in Philippians 3, that which you call me to pursue. This fullness is in you. I don't want to lean any longer on my own understanding. I want to, in all my ways, including after my failures or in my failures acknowledge you, because you will make my way straight. Thank you that I learn so much when I don't depend on my own ability to figure this out. Thank you that I can have joy as I invite you into my stumble. There is such joy in looking and learning with you. Thank you, jesus.
