In a world where opinions shift by the hour and culture normalizes anything and everything, how do you stay rooted in who you are and what you believe?

In this powerful episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase delivers a prophetic reminder for anyone stepping into a new season: your life will only grow as deep as your convictions.

Drawing from Scripture, personal pain, spiritual growth, and the chaos of modern society, Norense exposes the lies shaping today's culture—and the silent slide of sin that pulls people away from purpose. He challenges listeners to build convictions rooted not in trends, feelings, or societal pressure, but in the unchanging truth of Christ.

This episode is part teaching, part testimony, and part wake-up call. If you feel confused, empty, spiritually dull, or pressured to “go with the flow,” this conversation will strengthen your foundation and direct your steps heading into the new year.
