Mind Bully

Eight hotels. Twenty-one days in New York. Sick throat. Camera cutting out. No sublet locked in.
And Norense is still recording — because that's what confidence in God looks like when it stops being a concept and starts being a lifestyle.
This episode is a raw, unfiltered thought dump from a hotel room in Manhattan — a real-time reminder that confidence isn't built in the comfortable moments. It's forged in the uncertain ones. Norense unpacks what it means to stay bold in who you are when everything around you is shifting, and why the moment you stop giving God thanks is the moment your confidence starts to collapse.
Drawing from Romans 1, Norense reveals the dangerous connection between ingratitude and a darkened mind — and why praise isn't optional. It's protective.
In this episode:
Why confidence is something you hold onto — not something you throw away when obstacles come
The Romans 1 warning: what happens to your mind when you stop giving God thanks and glory
How nitpicking yourself into the ground is actually lowering the standard God set for how you should see yourself
Why you're not defined by every thought that comes into your head — and what to do with the ones that try to take you down
The difference between thinking too highly of yourself and thinking too lowly — and why both are dangerous
Why trying seasons don't break you — they reveal capacity you didn't know you had
A personal inventory: sexual assault, suicidal ideation, losing loved ones, losing in sport — and why none of it disqualifies you
Key Truth: "I don't know where I'm going, but I know who's with me."
Key Verse: Romans 1:21 — Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Digital diary entries to explore my racing thoughts, to challenge my own assumptions, to examine and name my emotions, to express my feelings, while applying God's truth over my everyday situations..

FIFTH hotel in two weeks. No sublet. No guaranteed next step.
And Norense is still recording.
This episode is one of the most honest things he's put out — a real-time documentary of what it looks like to trust God when the plan collapses, the friend falls through, and the enemy starts whispering that it's time to fold. Recorded live from Brooklyn, New York, this isn't a highlight reel. It's faith under pressure, documented.
Using the story of Abraham — a man who staggered not at the promise of God — Norense breaks down the enemy's three-step strategy against your purpose: doubt, disbelief, and disobedience. And then he dismantles all three with the Word.
In this episode:
Why the enemy doesn't attack you with obvious lies — he attacks you with distorted truth and seeds of doubt
The three-step strategy the enemy uses to take you out: doubt → disbelief → disobedience
What Abraham's rugged faith actually looked like — and what it demands from you
Why playing it safe is one of the most dangerous things you can do with your life
How to handle disappointment, betrayal, and obstacles without folding or holding grudges
Why your dreams should make you feel the weight of needing God — and what it means if they don't
A live prayer for anyone in a season of doubt, fear, and uncertainty
A special word for Mental Health Awareness Month — why your feelings are real, valid, and not to be suppressed — but also not the final word
Key Truth: "Every punch is planned — because you've got greatness inside of you."
Key Verse: Romans 4:20 — Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.
If you're drowning in silence, questioning your next move, or on the verge of walking away from what God called you to — this episode is for you.

What does it actually look like to trust God when you have no roadmap, no guaranteed outcome, and no idea how it's all going to come together?
In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense records live from a hotel room in New York City — one-way ticket, no lease, no plan — and breaks down what real faith costs and what it produces when you stop waiting for certainty before you move.
This isn't a theory episode. This is faith in action, documented in real time.
What You'll Learn:
Why faith never looks familiar — and why that's the whole point
How to trust God's process during major life transitions even when the people closest to you don't understand
The difference between striving in your own strength and yielding to God's direction
Why low self-esteem and self-doubt are spiritual issues — not just mental ones
How to walk by faith and not by your feelings, your senses, or your circumstances
Why God doesn't always show you the full plan — and what He's actually looking for from you
If you're in a season of transition, questioning your next move, or wrestling with fear and doubt — this episode is for you.
Hebrews 11:1 — Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
