Louie Giglio’s Step By Step Method of “Winning the Battle of Your Mind”
For every thought that comes into your mind:
- Determine the source of the thought.
- Is the thought congruent with God’s Word?
- If it isn’t, then bind it to Jesus’ name and cast it out.
- Find where in Scripture the subject of that thought is proscribed.
- Then walk in the truth of God’s Word.

Happy Labor Day! We aren’t taking a holiday break so here’s this week’s episode! We had one of our favorite people, Kelly Morris, join us today. We briefly touch on important topics such as lesser known uses of spiderwebs, an illegal way to use Furbies, and air guitar before we dive back into Unoffendable chapters 13-20. These chapters take us through conversations about how anger and offense relate to justice, some of our favorite revenge/vengeance movies, protecting our families, and loving our natural enemies.

What do gully washers, The Office, and mullets have in common? Not much! But they are all interesting enough to make it into today’s episode. Loren, Tanner, and Brook sit down and discuss the recent rain, some News Of The What??, chapters 2-6 of Unoffendable, and how expectations and gratitude will help fight back against our tendency to be offended.

We’ve only got one more week of At The Movies — time flies when you’re having fun, as they say! Brook is on vacation with his family, and the legendary Tanner Hodges is back to host this week’s episode. He and Loren discuss hostile monkeys in Japan and how Tanner still owes Shelby a good honeymoon. They also review a few biblical thoughts on the Disney film, Encanto, and how we can reframe how we see our gifts and weaknesses. Finally, Tanner brings a timely, much-needed invitation to dream again.

This week Brook and Loren discuss the strategic approach Paul modeled for us in the way he contextualized the Gospel for people. We tackle what people probably knew or didn’t know in the geographic setting of Acts 13, including what Scripture the Jews had access to without the printing press (or Amazon!). And we do our best to address Acts 13:48 and its understandable question it poses about the not-so-easy concept of “predestination.”

Prayer Of Relinquishment
Today, O Lord, I yield myself to you.
May your will be my delight today.
May your way have perfect sway in me.
May your love be the pattern of my living.
I surrender to you
My hopes,
My dreams,
My ambitions.
Do with them what you will, when you will, as you will.
I place into your loving care
My family,
My friends,
My future.
Care for them with a care that I can never give.
I release into your hands
My need to control,
My craving for status,
My fear of obscurity.
Eradicate the evil, purify the good, and establish your kingdom on earth.
For Jesus’ sake,
Amen.
- Richard Foster, Prayers of the Heart

This week Brook is out of town with Compassion International and preparing for Colonial to dive in very soon (December!) as global ministry partners. So Tanner has taken the hosting reins and rejoined Loren for our weekly, Monday afternoon episode. In addition to sharing some excitement about Brook’s rare time away and what it means for our church, Tanner and Loren grapple, in general, with the difficulties of parts of Scripture. Why is God so black and white in some cases when it comes to His call to holiness and so gracious and merciful to people in others? What do we do with aspects of the Bible that can be very difficult? We hope the conversation is edifying and helpful!
