"Can I Change Your Mind?" is a devotional podcast featuring the teaching of Pastor Cedric Barnett, founding director of WJIC Media Ministries of Prattville, AL. The podcast is based on Romans 12:2, which advises us not to be conformed to the world's standards, but to be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our minds with God's Word. In his trademark humorous, irreverent, but Biblically-sound manner, "Pastor Ced" guides us through the transformation process by challenging long-held traditional religious norms, and using the Word of God to challenge us to think anew about what God's Word actually says, and prepare to act upon what we discover.
In 2023, "Can I Change Your Mind?" was awarded the 2023 Spin Award for Blogtalk/Spreaker Podcast of the Year, and "Pastor Ced" was honored as the Blogtalk/Spreaker Podcaster of the Year.

Episode 14: God's Mercy Toward Us (Even When We're Stuck on Stupid)
In a brand-new season of "Can I Change Your Mind?", Pastor Ced Barnett prefaces his upcoming series on "The REST of God" by this episode in which he takes a look at God's everlasting mercy towards the whole world by examining the story of Lot in the Old Testament book of Genesis.

Harris and SOW); "Hear You" (Taundra); "Great is Your Mercy" (Donnie McClurkin)

In Episode 13 of "Can I Change Your Mind?", Pastor Ced Barnett uses the passages of the Gadarene demoniac and an incident in the life of King David to explain to us how praising and worshiping the Lord "in spirit and in truth" requires a conscious decision using our mind, will, and emotions to PURPOSELY give ourselves over into the praise and worship process and experience. Featured music: "I Will Bless the Lord" (Byron Cage); "Undignified Praise" (Stephen Hurd); "I Wish" (Nicole C. Mullen)

Episode 12: Sex, Adultery, and Worship: The Correlation
In Episode 12 of "Can I Change Your Mind?" Pastor Ced Barnett takes a hard-nosed, somewhat graphic, and unapologetic look at the correlation between what God intended as true worship of Himself, and its illustration, that being of the sexual union between a husband and wife. He also explains about how Satan, in a deliberate attempt to distort true worship of God, did so by corrupting mankind and perverting the sexual union between husband and wife to result in the chaos we find in our world today. (Note: the podcast, though it does not contain profanity, discusses material of a mature nature, so listener discretion is advised.) Featured music: "So You Would Know" (GMWA Radio Angels feat. Angela Spivey); "Usher Me" (Bishop T.D. Jakes, feat. Arnetta Murrill-Crooms); "With My Whole Heart" (Edwin Hawkins Music & Arts Seminar Mass Choir, feat. Thomas Whitfield)

Episode 10: The God Who Cries
In Episode 10 of "Can I Change Your Mind?", Pastor Ced Barnett takes a different look at the story in John 11 of Jesus going to raise Lazarus from the dead by telling a personal story of a devoted friend whose brother was murdered, and focuses in on Jesus being the God who not only has complete control of every situation in our lives, but is so personal to us that He Himself is WILLING to share in those very same raw emotions with us.

Benita Washington] (Hart Ramsey & the NCC Family Choir)
