Beautiful Minds
The Sword That Divides and the Mind That Must Die
In this powerful episode of Beautiful Minds, Sharmee Pratt unpacks one of the most challenging statements Jesus ever made: “I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
Through deep biblical insight and transformative neuroscience, Sharmee reveals how the “sword” Jesus speaks of is not a weapon of chaos, but a tool of divine clarity — cutting away what no longer aligns with God’s purpose in your life.
Listeners will learn how spiritual transformation often begins with internal division: the separation of truth from lies, comfort from calling, and survival thinking from Spirit-led living. Sharmee explains how the brain reacts to change, how neuroplasticity supports spiritual growth, and why surrender often feels like loss before it feels like peace.
From taking up your cross, to breaking free from approval-based identity, to understanding why certain relationships shift as you grow, this episode guides you through the painful but necessary process of dying to the old self so the renewed mind can live.
This episode is for anyone who feels stretched, challenged, or called into a deeper walk with God — and needs clarity on why the journey feels so intense.
You’ll walk away with a fresh understanding of biblical surrender, emotional strength, and the peace that comes from alignment with Christ.Matthew 10:34–39
