In this meditation on resilience, we're invited to reimagine what it means to have our minds renewed in an age of overwhelming noise. Drawing from Romans 12 and the prophet Malachi's image of God as a refiner of silver, we discover that the intense heat we feel in our cultural moment isn't random suffering—it's purposeful purification. The ancient understanding of the 'nous' or mind as a receiver rather than a generator of thoughts challenges our modern assumptions. We weren't designed to absorb every podcast, news cycle, and social media feed; we were created with a receiver tuned specifically to perceive God. When we flood that receiver with constant noise—even well-intentioned Christian content—we become brittle rather than resilient. The wisdom we need isn't hidden in the latest blog or behind a screen; it's present in Scripture, in the Holy Spirit, and in the embodied community of believers around us. This Lent, we're challenged to fast from the digital noise that scatters our attention and instead focus on what's directly before us: God's will for our souls, families, and neighbors. Like Jesus calmly going about His Father's business while Mary and Joseph panicked, we're called to a relaxed obedience that trusts God with the big picture while we faithfully attend to our part.
