Restarting Life: Insights from Rick Warren’s Video on Doing a Reset
In his video “Doing a Reset for a Better Life,” Pastor Rick Warren explores the concept of making a plan to achieve personal growth and fulfillment. Then, he emphasizes the importance of making intentional changes to improve one’s quality of life.
Biblical Foundation
Warren supports his message with several Bible references. He highlights 2 Corinthians 5:17, which states,
“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
This verse underlines the idea of becoming a new person through faith and transformation. Additionally, Philippians 3:13-14 is cited, where Paul talks about forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.
Practical Steps for a Fresh Start
Warren outlines practical steps for resetting one’s life. He suggests setting clear goals and making actionable plans to achieve them. By evaluating personal values and priorities, individuals can focus on what truly matters. Warren also stresses the importance of seeking support from community and faith for accountability and encouragement.
Embracing Change with Faith
The video encourages embracing change with a positive outlook and faith. Warren underscores that while starting anew can be challenging, it is possible with God’s guidance and strength. He references Isaiah 43:19,
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
This verse reinforces the belief that God is always at work, bringing about renewal and hope.
Motivation for Restarting Life
Rick Warren’s video provides a motivational guide for those looking to restart their lives. By integrating faith with practical steps, individuals can embark on a journey of personal and spiritual growth. His use of biblical teachings offers a solid foundation for those seeking to make meaningful changes.

Thank you so much.
My name is Su Kyoung Nam and live in Korea.
I reset last May;
•Unplugged the TV (no cable, saving $100/month).
•Got OFF of Facebook and all social media – eliminated stress, anger, irritations and knowing or caring what anyone else was doing, or what their opinions about everything was.
•Changed Diet, lost 40 pounds, got healthy, reversed illness.
•Work out twice a week.
•Consistently (daily) watch healthy videos, sermons, prayers on YouTube (I choose the program & there’s no shocking, unsavory commercials).
•Praying without ceasing (morning, noon, night). Praying for others, myself.
•Be GRATEFUL for everything.
•Do things I “never had time for” that I enjoy.
•I have no stress, no worries,
no angst, more energy, sleep all night, no anger or short temper. I have learned and know that God loves me and has me in the palm of His hand.
•Purged my closets and cabinets.
•Cleaned my house, set a schedule to keep it clean.
I believe Covid, although it has very bad points, is a two-edged sword and came with many opportunities and other gifts.
I took being sent to work from home as a Gift from God – a chance to do better, be a better person, a better Christian, help those I can.
It’s refreshing to hear this Pastor openly discuss what has happened in our world & teach us how to move forward, and be better.
Thank you!
That’s awesome. Well done
Good for u👏👏
I agree with Reset my interior life to be with Jesus and with Jesus doing His will at His time. Living a Mary spirit in the Martha world. I selected being with Jesus my day by day habit, practicing the awareness of being in the presence of God day by day while being with other people for the sake of others. So I can love others in my home or office or school as Jesus loves me
Amen. Thank you Abba Father God I choose to start again with you please help me to obey your purpose and will in my life. 😭😇❤️🙏
Good noon po.Pastor Rick Warren,kindly pray for my mother and my elder sister who was hospitalized.Do pray for my elderly mother who has difficulty in breathing that God will give them physical healing.
I suffer from bipolar depression…. I was in the hospital and there is when I found Rick Warren. Depression is something that is so hard to explain. It’s dark. It wears you out. If anyone has never seen it…look up “Hear what I am not saying” on youtube.
