Quotables from the Episode:

  • Renewing our mind begins with addressing thoughts that are not life giving.
  • To take our thoughts captive we have to interrogate them to determine where they are coming from.
  • Our thoughts come from one of three places: God (who prompts and convicts), Satan (who pressures and condemns), or us (often from our past experiences)
  • If a thought does not come from God, I don’t want that thought.
  • It helps me to know what the Bible says, and then to put it into my own words so I can apply it to that situation and remember it later.
  • God never gives us more hard work—the enemy does that
  • God reveals the areas that need renewal, by our reactions to situations. Oversized reactions indicate our internal thought processes.
  • Our reaction is our responsibility.

 

Scripture References:

  • Romans 12:2 “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
  • Ephesians 4:23 “Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.”
  • 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

How do we take our thoughts captive? How do we renew our mind? Romans 12:2 breaks it down for us, but we tend to get it backwards. In this episode, my guest, Kris Reece, and I answer these questions as we talk about how to train your brain to trust God. #trustGod #hope #faith #podcast
