Welcome to Becoming Your Own VIP: Mind, Body, Soul! I’m your host, Rebecca McCants, a faith-based coach dedicated to helping you grow spiritually, break free from limiting cycles, and walk boldly in your God-given purpose.
In today's episode: A matcha run becomes a spiritual wake-up: I will unpack the inner war between flesh and spirit, how prayer brings clarity, and practical steps for breaking hidden idols and choosing life in Christ.
- Theme: Everyday choices reveal whom we serve—God or our cravings.
- Scriptures: Matthew 6:24; Luke 16:13; Romans 7–8; Hebrews 12:1; 1 Corinthians 9:25-27; Galatians 5:16-18; Colossians 3:1-17; Genesis 4:7; Ezekiel 36:25-27; Isaiah 5:20; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20; Hosea 4:6.
- You’ll learn: how to pause, pray, and listen; spot idols of the heart (approval, productivity, comfort, control, appearance, substances, etc.); trade instant gratification for Spirit-led disciplines (Word, prayer, worship, gratitude, service).
- Reflection Question: What are your “matcha lattes”—the habits or comforts you justify but the Holy Spirit is asking you to lay down?

"A faith-based coach dedicated to helping you grow spiritually, break free from limitations, and walk boldly in your God-given purpose."
This isn’t your typical self-love conversation.
In a culture that preaches self-love at all costs, many unknowingly embrace habits, beliefs, and emotional cycles that quietly keep them bound. In this raw and revealing episode, Rebecca McCants uncovers the hidden cost of unexamined acceptance—and how “loving yourself” without repentance or accountability can become an open door to spiritual compromise.
Through personal testimony and powerful scriptures like Amos 3:3 and 2 Timothy 3, she exposes how false comfort often masquerades as healing, keeping us in agreement with darkness. You’ll be guided into the deeper truth of godly love—one that calls for reflection, repentance, deliverance, and alignment with Jesus.
If you’ve been wrestling with inner conflict, tolerating toxic patterns, or feeling spiritually stagnant, this episode is your wake-up call to realign, reclaim your vessel, and take back your power. Brace yourself—this message will challenge your comforts and stir your spirit toward freedom
Word Meaning - "Young" - Timothy 4:12 EXB, Jeremiah 1:7 NIV does not primarily refer to a chronological age, but rather to a relative lack of experience, maturity, or established authority compared to older, more seasoned leaders or teachers
" Sacrificial" - John 3:16 NIV - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
We no longer have to sacrifice animals but instead carry our cross daily nailing our sins to the cross.

Episode Description:
Have you ever taken in something that looked good on the surface—only to realize later it was damaging you from the inside out?
In this powerful and reflective episode, Rebecca dives deep into the spiritual principle of discernment—unpacking how media, food, music, politics, relationships, and even childhood wounds can carry unseen consequences when left unchecked. From personal stories to biblical truth, this episode reveals how seeds are planted in our minds and hearts every day—and how those seeds can either bear fruit or fuel destruction.
You’ll explore:
- Why revenge hurts you more than the person who wronged you
- How “good packaging” can hide spiritual toxins
- The power of guarding your gates (eyes, ears, heart)
- How to reclaim your identity through the Holy Spirit
Whether you're navigating past pain, unaware of what is influencing you, or seeking clarity in a world full of noise—this episode will ground you in truth, encourage transformation, and call you into deeper relationship with God.

In this episode of Becoming Your Own VIP: Mind, Body, Soul,we’re diving into the small print in life—the hidden spiritual implications behind the choices we make every day.

✅ How toxic comfort can lead tostagnation and iniquity—keeping us stuck in cycles that separate us from God.
✅ The spiritual battle over yourmind, will, and emotions, and why discernment is key.
✅ The importance of guarding yourheart and being intentional with what you allow into your life.
✅ How Scripture warns us aboutdeception, compromise, and the dangers of ignoring the “small print” in our choices.

The armor (your wall) you have up right now is to battle against flesh and blood. This is why your battle has not yet been won, the patterns and cycle are on repeat. Cycling from different people, places and things like on Groundhog Day no matter how hard you try or your best of intentions the story finds its way to repeat. All of the emotions that keep you in a dark place feeling defeated and depleted. What do you replace your wall with?

Romans 6:16
Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?
In another podcast I explain THE TALE OF TWO WOLVESAn old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”
He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
The scripture above is asking you exactly that, which would you obey? Either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? ..... Which do you choose??

Tonight's episode is a continuation of Forgiveness for Yourself and Others...
The topic is about Repentance and how that accompanies forgiveness and your healing journey.
Repentance definition: the action of repenting; sincere regret or remorse
Biblical repentance is a sincere change from doing things of sin to thinking, believing, living, and changing your lifestyle to that which is righteous and good to God.
Things You Should Repent Of: The seven deadly sins listed in the Bible are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth. Also review: Proverbs 6:16-19 NKJV, & Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV
The Bible covers topics relating to sin, repentance, forgiveness, salvation, faith, love, hope, wisdom, understanding, compassion, courage, and other biblical guidance for helping to resist the temptation of sin and overcoming trials physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Forgiveness for Yourself and Others - Part 1 - In the Beginning
Tonight's episode is how I got started on my path to forgiveness. Seek and ye shall find.....the bible mentions many times how important forgiveness is. Asking God to forgive us as Jesus taught us to forgive others.
Matthew 18:21-22 The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
I was searching and found what worked for me at the very beginning, the prayers we all know biblically the "Lord's Prayer" and "Serenity Prayer" but then I came across the Ho’oponopono Prayer and The Buddhist Prayer of Forgiveness. At the time I had no words, and these 4 prayers were the beginning of allowing God in. A way for me to heal my heart, fear, sadness, and more emotions than I knew I carried from shame, guilt, bitterness, and more allowing me to put my pieces back together along the way.
Part 2 will be a continuation of what I discovered as I continued to seek answers as there were things that were still a challenge to overcome.
It was not until later that I began reading the bible and understanding it more. There are multiple scriptures in the bible about forgiveness from actions, thoughts, and words, sins, evil, and darkness. Pairing forgiveness with repentance.
The process of healing serves to release negativity, come to terms that the past cannot be changed; what was done was done, review what the lesson was to learn from it, move forward, be patient, and be compassionate for yourself and everyone past and present.
The process of forgiveness allows you to let go of the victim mindset, and slowly you begin to emerge from the darkness into the light.
There is a scripture Romans 8:28, Genesis 50:20, and a quote that God is using what was meant for evil for good; thru the pain that was meant to break us, we grow, become stronger, and can use our lesson to help another.

Matthew 23:26 KJV "Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also."
Love is the test... love is the challenge... love yourself enough to take accountability, love enough to not let the opportunities slip by. One year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, then 10 years later looking back at the mistakes made, the hurt, the misunderstandings. Opportunities to follow your dreams, try new things, to love yourself enough to be there for others. Stand within your morals, values, and principles with authenticity and integrity. You can't get back that time, you get right NOW.
To forgive yourself and others for the past and make a change for the better. Love is stronger to honor the love you have for yourself and the people you are with, the experiences that you create vs being on your cell phone, idols, or addictions. Love will persevere to find creative solutions so that you can mature together, to do what is right for your body, heart, mind, soul, children, and loved ones.

This episode is different as this was prerecorded that I am adding into the Podcast and hope that this helps someone. Going to church is a tool to nourish your soul and be within the community but your soul is with you 24/7 awake or asleep. This is where spirituality becomes a lifestyle because you are a spiritual being living a human existence.
Definition: Spir·it·u·al·i·ty /ˌspiriCHo͞oˈalədē/ noun the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. "the shift in priorities allows us to embrace our spirituality in a more profound way"

Proverbs 12:11, KJV: He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. Proverbs 12:11. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. NIV › MATT 13 Bible Gateway Matthew 13 :: NIV. "Love is patient, love is kind" (1 Corinthians 13:4–8), "Love is patient, love is kind" (1 Corinthians 13:4–8). "Evil" ways and sins are basically ways in which we've fallen from love..anything that hurts you or another, or an intention that is not righteous and pure. This is what leads you away from God.

This is a BONUS with 2 Podcasts included...... "Are You Prepared to Receive" is about the things we dream and pray about are you ready to receive them and be a good steward? What or who do you need to become in order to receive and be successful? "What Sacrifices Are You Willing to Make" - What research, discipline, and consistency are needed? What toxic beliefs, behaviors, or traits need to be released, and what healing is needed? Are you willing to accept the yin and the yang once obtained, are you ready to weather the storm, face the challenges? You are the common denominator if something is not working out; ask what is it within you that you can control and expand upon? If other people are involved...they also have their part to improve within themselves but that is NOT in your control. You can only control yourself (thoughts, words, and actions), and through those things are the choices you make.

Today's episode are stories from my own life to share with you. I ask you to reflect on times when you've been presented with an opportunity and times when you're being weighed and measured. Reflect back to your past and see what choices you have made.
Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rebecca-mccants/support
Do you know when a hurtful or loving word was said, or when someone put hands on you in a loving or hurtful way? Words and thoughts can have the same impact as if you were physically hurt or loved by someone. How even when someone says sorry the damage was done. Your words, thoughts, and actions can be destructive or constructive and you can choose how you're going to show up within yourself and with others each and every single day, each and every second, each and every single moment. Look at how you treat yourself and look at how you treat others.
There is a power you hold...look at how you treat yourself and look at how you treat others and how you choose to utilize your power.
Sometimes it may have been you who was the one causing the hurt.... or you were the one receiving the hurt. You also were the one giving the love or receiving the love. You are not powerless or helpless. You just didn't have the tools or understanding to realize the power you had and how to use it to heal and love in a healthy positive way.
Your words thoughts and actions are all accounted for which is why you only have control over yourself. Accountable for the choices YOU make whether it involved another person or not what part did you play in the story. How do you learn and take accountability and learn from the experience for the success or failure in that scenario?
