Mind Bully

You are not disposable. People can walk out of your life — but that has nothing to do with your value, your worth, or who God made you to be.
This is one of the most personal episodes Norense has recorded. In the span of two months, he lost two friendships — both, he believes, over the same thing: walking in the light and being misunderstood for it. Recorded from his Brooklyn sublet with just eight days left before another move, he opens up raw about disappointment, disrespect, and the temptation to shrink yourself down after people you invested in turn on you.
But this isn't a bitter episode. It's a leadership episode. Norense unpacks why your identity can't be built on your role in a friend group, why "hurt people can heal people," and why the answer to relational pain isn't isolation — it's going again, loving again, and serving again.
In this episode:
Why you are not disposable — even when people treat you like you are
The danger of building your identity around your role in your friend group
Why nobody has the right to change how you see yourself based on one conflict
How the enemy uses "pattern recognition" to turn two hard experiences into a lie about your future
Standing in your convictions and having self-love — the balance between tolerance and boundaries
Why walking in the light will sometimes cost you relationships — and how to make peace with that
The honest challenge of platonic friendships, boundaries, and being misunderstood
Why this life is about service, not survival — and how "hurt people can heal people"
A closing prayer for anyone hurting from a relationship that ended
Key Truth: "Where you are is not who you are. Nobody has the right to change the way you see yourself based on a situation or a conversation."
Key Verse: Proverbs 4:23 — Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

You are not your own. You were bought at a price — and there's an attack on your life, your future, and the version of you that God is calling you to become.
In this raw, unfiltered episode from his Brooklyn apartment, Norense goes deep on devices — the tactics and vices the enemy uses to gain access to your life. He starts where most people don't expect: not with the "obvious" sins, but with lying to yourself, unbelief, and putting your faith in your fear instead of in God.
Then he gets honest about the one the culture loves to downplay: sexual immorality. Norense breaks down why sex is spiritual, what a soul tie actually is, and how the enemy weaponizes people and past connections to keep you cycling through shame, isolation, and emptiness. This isn't condemnation — it's a roadmap out.
In this episode:
Why the real war is spiritual — "we wrestle not against flesh and blood"
The subtle vices most people overlook: self-deception, unbelief, and performance identity
Why "you are always being led" — and the real question is who is leading you
What a soul tie is, why sex creates one, and how to break it through Christ
How the enemy uses people as weapons — the stories of Balaam, Samson, and Delilah
Why anything that dominates you — your attention, intention, and surrender — is not from God
The difference between deliverance and freedom — and why the Israelites kept wanting to go back
Practical "blockades": how to set real-world parameters that protect your walk
Why nothing external ever satisfies — and how to let God purify your desires
Key Truth: "Deliverance is the opportunity to be free — but you still have to walk in freedom. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
Key Verse: Galatians 5:16 — Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

You Are Not Who You Used to Be | Breaking Free From Shame and Old Habits
You do not have to be perfect. There is no perfect person breathing.
That's where Norense starts this episode — and it's a message for anyone who has been hard on themselves for slipping, falling back into old habits, and then hiding in shame instead of running back to God.
Recorded from his Brooklyn apartment after a long day in the Word, Norense breaks down one of the most important distinctions in the Christian walk: the difference between condemnation and conviction. Condemnation drags you backward into bondage and ties your identity to what you did wrong. Conviction draws you forward toward repentance and reminds you who you actually are in Christ.
This one is raw, scripture-heavy, and honest — a reminder that being a new creation doesn't mean the old appetites disappear overnight. It means you renew your mind daily, one day at a time, and let the Holy Spirit do the work you were never meant to do on your own.
In this episode:
The critical difference between condemnation (backward to bondage) and conviction (forward to repentance)
Why falling back into old patterns doesn't make you who you used to be
What it means to be a "new creation" — and why the old man still leaves behind thoughts, appetites, and impulses to surrender
The "HALT" principle — how being Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired lowers your defenses
A walk through 1 John 1 and Hebrews 10 — grace is real, but it's not a license to do whatever you want
Why nothing external — money, sex, titles, achievement — ever actually satisfies the deeper craving
Why "man shall not live by bread alone" reframes Maslow's hierarchy entirely
Honest, unfiltered thoughts on identity, culture, and why the real battle is spiritual, not surface-level
Key Truth: "Condemnation condemns you backward to bondage and identifies you with what you did wrong. Conviction convicts you toward repentance and your real identity in Christ."
Key Verse: Romans 8:1 — There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

It's August. The rain is hitting the iron railing outside his Brooklyn window. And after 11 hotels, a sublet that ends in a few weeks, and a July where he was gone every single weekend — Norense sits down to be honest about the questions he doesn't have answers to yet.
Where's he going to live? Is he doing enough? Is he spending too much time in the Word, or not enough? This episode is a free-flowing, unfiltered reflection on what it means to keep going when the vision isn't fully defined — anchored in one unshakable truth: the God who started the work in you is faithful to finish it.
Norense traces the through-line of a whirlwind month — his sister's memorial, a brand trip in Silicon Valley, a family wedding, and a Texas Tech alumni weekend — and realizes God was showing him something the whole time: that he's a bridge. Between people. Between worlds. Between the person he was and the person he's becoming.
He also gets vulnerable about vices, sexual purity, and the honest truth about addiction — that the things we run to never satisfy, and only surrender does.
In this episode:
Why Philippians 1:6 is the anchor for any season where you can't see the full picture yet
The danger of building your identity around how you feel each day — and what to do with your emotions instead
How to recognize the "through-line" God is weaving through your different seasons and spaces
Why shared sacrifice creates a sense of belonging that nothing else can replicate
The honest truth about vices: alcohol, drugs, women, gaming, hustling, even fitness — none of it satisfies
Why you can't stop an addiction on your own — and what actually changes when you receive Christ
The stories of Paul and Moses — and why God redeems, restores, and re-commissions
Why testing and temptation are the forging fire that prepares you for war
Key Truth: "He who started a good work in you is faithful to see it to completion — but He needs a willing, yielding mind. You can't just sit on your hands."
Key Verse: Philippians 1:6 — Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

A wedding in Houston. A brand event in Silicon Valley. His sister's memorial. Editing her tribute video. Four straight weekends gone — and Norense sits down in his Brooklyn apartment to be honest about what happens when your mind won't slow down and the enemy starts whispering that you're wasting your time.
This episode is a raw, unfiltered look inside his thought process as a creator wrestling with the financial weight of the calling — the tension between pouring into people and actually advocating for himself, between living in the Word and knowing when to close the book and go to work.
Anchored in Luke 11 — ask, seek, knock — Norense unpacks the shameless audacity it takes to approach God, and why moving forward in faith requires action, not just belief.
In this episode:
Why value — not volume — is what actually attracts success, and how Jesus modeled depth over big numbers
The "ask, seek, knock" principle and the shameless audacity it takes to keep knocking on doors
How to set non-negotiables and protected time with God while staying flexible as an entrepreneur
Why elevation demands separation — from old income ceilings and old ways of limiting yourself
The enemy's daily attack on your mind — "you're scatterbrained, you're wasting your time" — and how to resist it with the Word
Why being seen in real community exposes your blind spots and your greatness
The "it's who, not how" principle — and knowing which growth areas to own versus delegate
Why your story needs to be shared digitally — and how fear (not God) is what keeps people off camera
Key Truth: "When God says go, it overwhelms every no. But you have a part to play — you can't just sit on your hands."
Key Verse: Luke 11:9 — Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
