130 – Finding Peace in the Battle for Your Mind with Kelsey Gjesdal
What if the battle for peace, joy, and contentment begins with what we allow to shape our minds?
In this episode of the Bold Faith Now podcast, Missy chats with author and podcaster Kelsey Gjesdal about her new 60-day study, Mindset: Learning to Live with the Mind of Christ. Through the book of Philippians, Kelsey encourages readers to exchange anxiety, overthinking, and perfectionism for the truth and peace found in Christ.
In this episode, Missy and Kelsey discuss
-
Why renewing our minds with God’s Word is a process, not a quick fix
-
How knowing God’s character helps us trust Him when our emotions tell us otherwise
-
What Philippians teaches us about joy, peace, contentment, and anxiety
-
Kelsey’s heart for using fiction, nonfiction, and podcasting to point Gen Z toward Jesus
Our circumstances can change quickly, but Jesus never does. Kelsey reminds us that the peace, joy, and contentment we seek are found when we fix our eyes on Christ and ground our thoughts in the truth of God’s Word.
Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Welcome Friends!
My name is Missy, and I love Jesus!
I am a Christ-follower, wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and host of the Bold Faith Now podcast. My heart is to encourage believers to live boldly for Jesus in a world that often tells us to stay quiet, blend in, or keep our faith tucked safely in the shadows.
Through writing, speaking, and podcasting, I help believers grow in bold faith, stand firm in truth, and view the world through a biblical worldview. Because following Jesus was never meant to be passive. It is a call to shine His light, speak truth with grace, and take the next obedient step.
My prayer is simple: to point others to Jesus, encourage bold faith, and remind believers that now is the time to live courageously for Him. Join the Bold Faith community and listen to the podcast for encouragement to live out your faith with conviction, clarity, and courage.
