Elena Huggins, author of Untwist Me: Uncomplicated Life Hacks for Mental and Emotional Liberation shares her personal journey of faith, trauma, and healing, emphasizing the importance of understanding the difference between being healed and being free.
Our conversation delves into the complexities of trauma, the significance of processing emotions, and the role of Scripture in finding peace and clarity.
Elena offers practical advice to help you navigate your own mental health challenges and encourages you to simplify your struggles to find effective solutions.
- Trauma can lead to complex emotional challenges that require deep processing.

- Many people manage their mental health rather than truly heal from it.
- Scripture is the lynchpin in overcoming anxiety and trauma.
- Anxiety can be unlearned.
- Processing trauma is essential; you cannot skip steps in healing.
- Simplifying life's challenges can empower you to take action.
- Elena's book offers practical steps for emotional liberation.
- The supernatural power of God plays a crucial role in healing.
Fav quotes:

Have you ever thought about what’s really happening in your brain when you pray? In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics—the powerful connection between prayer, thoughts, and neuroscience.
Here’s the amazing truth: prayer isn’t just talking to God (though that’s the heart of it!). It also reshapes your brain’s pathways. Every time you pray, you’re not only building intimacy with God—you’re also retraining your mind to calm down, focus, and lean into hope.
I’ll share how prayer soothes your brain’s alarm system (that constant “what if” chatter), why even the shortest prayers can shift your emotions, and how Jesus Himself modeled a life rooted in prayer.
If you’ve been feeling scattered, stressed, or stuck in negative thoughts, this episode is for you. Let’s explore together how consistent prayer can actually rewire your brain for peace, clarity, and trust in God’s goodness.
✨ Takeaways you’ll love:
- Prayer literally reshapes your thought patterns.
- Your brain hears your prayers—it changes your state of mind.
- Prayer calms the “fear alarms” in your brain.
- Consistent prayer builds hope and sharpens decision-making.
- Even short, whispered prayers can help regulate your emotions.
- The Bible gives us story after story of the power of prayer in action.
🎙 Sound Bites
- “Prayer is good for you.”
- “Prayer produces peace.”
- “God hears my prayers.”
📖 Episode Flow
- Fascination with prayer and the brain

Ever feel stuck in decision overload—second-guessing every choice, lying awake with racing thoughts, or wondering if you’ve already missed God’s plan for your life? You’re not alone, friend. In this episode of the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast, we’re unpacking the affirmation “God will guide me.”
I’ll share some of my own stories of how God showed up in both the little things (like picture frames!) and the big transitions (like remarriage and buying a home). We’ll talk about why His guidance is steady, why it comes step by step (not all at once), and how it brings peace right here in the present moment.
And because you know I love weaving faith with brain science, I’ll explain what’s happening in your brain when anxious thought-loops take over—and how truth and trust in God can literally rewire your neural pathways.
By the end, you’ll feel encouraged to take that next baby step, breathe a little deeper, and rest in God’s steady hand.
✨ What you’ll take away:
- God’s guidance isn’t random—it’s steady and personal.
- Neuroscience shows your brain can rewire toward peace.
- Replacing anxious thoughts with truth strengthens your mind.
- You don’t need the whole map—just the next step.
- Peace is available right here, right now.

In this powerful second part of my conversation with Dr. Ronnie Kent and Dr. James Kent, authors of The Anxiety Algorithm, we dig deeper into how faith, mindset, and God’s presence can transform anxious patterns into lasting peace and joy.
The Kents share how abiding in Christ—not striving—produces the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. We talk about how the Holy Spirit shields us like “filter paper,” allowing only what shapes us into Christ’s likeness to touch our lives, and how to apply the Anxiety Algorithm in real-time—even during the everyday stressors like parenting, finances, and yes, even pickleball matches!
We also explore the secret of true contentment and long-term wellness, plus how God invites us not just to survive anxiety but to thrive with a renewed sense of joy and freedom.
Whether you’re facing everyday worries or long-standing battles with fear, this episode offers practical hope rooted in Scripture, brain science, and the peace only God can bring.
Key Takeaways:
- Abiding in Christ—not striving—produces true spiritual fruit like peace, patience, and self-control.
- God shields us from more than we realize, using every challenge to grow Christlike character.
- The Anxiety Algorithm isn’t just for anxiety—it applies to anger, depression, loneliness, and beyond.
- Memorizing Scripture gives the Holy Spirit “ammunition” to redirect our thoughts in anxious moments.
- True contentment, as Paul described in Philippians, is a learned posture—and it’s possible for all believers.
- Effort matters to God—He cheers our perseverance more than our performance or “wins.”

Now that you've set your focus area, it's time to tackle the root of self-control—your thoughts. The battle begins in your mind, and today, we’re diving into 2 Corinthians 10:5, learning how to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.
🔹 Brain Science Insight: Negative thoughts trigger the brain’s fear center (amygdala), while faith-filled thoughts activate the prefrontal cortex, helping you make wise, self-controlled decisions. Your thoughts shape your actions!
🔹 Jesus’ Example: When tempted, Jesus spoke truth against the enemy. You can do the same!
🔹 3 Powerful Truths to Declare Today:
1️⃣ “I have the mind of Christ, and I can think His thoughts.”
2️⃣ “This thought isn’t from God, so I won’t let it take root.”
3️⃣ “Renewing my mind is a daily process, and I’m growing stronger.”
🔹 3 Practical Steps to Stay Strong:
✅ Identify Triggers – Recognize what pulls you toward negativity.
✅ Replace Lies with Truth – Use Scripture and affirmations to redirect your mind.
✅ Practice Gratitude – A grateful heart silences doubt and fear.
📌 Action Step: Write down one toxic thought in your focus area and counter it with God’s truth. Share your insights for encouragement!
Let’s demolish lies and walk in freedom together. You’re not in this alone! See you next week for Part 3! 🎧✨

The 7-Day Self-Control Challenge (conducted a few months ago) was so popular that I wanted to share the recordings with you!
If you're up for it, you can dig in for the next 60 days and really get a grip on TEMPERANCE or SELF-CONTROL in your life!
For week 1, we'll set the foundation for a life of discipline and freedom in Christ. Self-control isn’t about sheer willpower—it’s about God’s grace equipping you to say yes to what honors Him and no to what doesn’t (Titus 2:11-12).
🔹 Brain Science Insight: Your brain is constantly rewiring itself through neuroplasticity—meaning each choice you make strengthens your self-control muscle.
3 Practical Tips:
1️⃣ Start small—focus on just one area for growth.
2️⃣ Anchor your goal to a deeper why—how does this honor God?
3️⃣ Visualize success—see yourself walking in victory.
Action Step: Pray over your focus area, write it down, and share it with a friend for encouragement and accountability.
God’s grace is your strength. You’ve got this—because He’s got you! Tune in next week for Part 2.
📖 Scripture: Titus 2:11-12
🎧 Listen now and let’s grow together!
Be sure to come back next week for a week 2 message!

Today I chat with a remarkable woman named Wendy Parmley who has shed over 100 pounds on her journey to a healthier life. Once weighing over 400 pounds, she now relies on her faith in God to overcome food fixation, addiction, and restriction. Her story powerfully illustrates the strength that comes from surrendering our struggles to God.
We discuss how self-talk and the lies we believe about ourselves and food can hold us back, as well as the challenges she’s faced and the victories she’s celebrating. With nearly 42% of U.S. adults classified as obese, this conversation is vital.
We explore how Christ-followers can make healthier food choices by thinking differently about our bodies and what we consume, relying on God’s strength to overcome temptation.
This episode is for anyone seeking to keep God at the center of their heart, not just those struggling with food. Tune in for a conversation filled with hope, faith, and practical wisdom to help you break free from unhealthy patterns. Let's CHOOSE 2 THINK about our HEALTH!

What is the impact of gratitude on your brain and heart? Recent neuroscience research shows that practicing gratitude doesn’t just make you feel good—it actually rewires your brain for greater joy and resilience. You’ll learn how focusing on thankfulness can activate your brain's reward system, making it easier to access positive emotions and steer clear of anxiety or depression.
We also explore how gratitude, especially for Christian women, can transform your heart by aligning your thoughts with God’s goodness. Picture gratitude as a garden hose, nourishing your mind and washing away negativity. The more you practice it, the more vibrant your mental and spiritual garden becomes.
Joining me in this conversation are two special guests who share their personal stories of how gratitude has changed their daily lives and moods. Don’t miss this inspiring discussion, where we also touch on:
- The difference between gratitude and positive thinking
- How to give thanks in every scenario, even in the midst of grief and sorrow
- The importance of bringing God into every situation, especially when facing frustrations
- Practical tips for being intentional about starting and resetting your day
- The concept of seeing hardships as divine interruptions
- And much more!

Join me as I unpack a powerful technique put into play by King David that can truly transform your daily life.
David, even in the face of persecution and slander, learned to turn his complaints into praise—reaffirming God's goodness no matter what came his way.
It’s such a relatable and practical approach that can bring more peace and strength into your life too!
I’ll also share personal stories about how I faced my own struggles and found comfort in switching from complaint to praise, just like David.
Join me as we discover how this simple shift in mindset can help you renew your spirit and keep moving forward, no matter what challenges you face.

Do you ever feel a bit battle weary from wrestling around with toxic or potentially toxic thinking?
Well, in today’s oldie but goodie episode, I’ll offer you a 6-fold battle tactic plan especially if you are feeling a bit battle weary. We’re gonna see how King David kept his mind in the right place as he actually battled for his very life. His expectations and hope were in God alone.
The 6 tactics include:
- examination - we enter the battle with clean hands and hearts
- identification - we declare God's characteristics and traits
- expectation - we shift to the expectancy mindset to claim each victory
- recognition - we acknowledge that we need God's help as we battle
- devastation - we utterly destroy the lies of the enemy of our souls
- adoration - we give thanks to God, our Battle King

In today's episode, let's explore the transformative power of shifting from negativity to gratitude through a personal story.
Every Thursday, I visit my parents to help with chores and errands. Last week, after a tiring drive, I was faced with an unexpected challenge of having to return home to fetch a power washer. Initially overwhelmed with frustration and self-pity, I experienced a pivotal moment where I consciously chose to replace my negative thoughts with gratitude. I began praising God for the blessings in my life, which led to an immediate uplift in my mood and attitude. This change highlights the importance of focusing on positive, God-honoring thoughts, especially during times of stress and fatigue.
Additionally, we delve into Psalm 146, one of the Hallelujah Psalms, which emphasizes trusting in God's eternal reign and His care for the oppressed and needy. This psalm, written during the post-exilic period, encourages believers to rely on God's everlasting power rather than human strength. The episode also touches on the benefits of upbeat music in releasing dopamine, reducing stress, and enhancing cognitive function, all of which contribute to a more joyful and fulfilling spiritual life. By aligning our thoughts with gratitude and worship, we can experience profound emotional and spiritual healing, embodying the fruits of the Spirit in our daily lives.
And as the adage goes: if I can do it, you can, too! :)

Drawing from personal experiences and reflections, Victoria shares candidly about the struggles and challenges she has faced, inviting listeners into a space of vulnerability and authenticity.

Through heartfelt prayers and confessions from her own journal, Victoria offers listeners a glimpse into the power of confession to bring about healing, freedom, and spiritual renewal. She addresses common toxic thoughts surrounding confession, such as fear of judgment and shame, and encourages listeners to replace these with life-giving truths grounded in God's grace and love.

One of the most significant ways you can renew your mind and take your thoughts captive is through deeper intimacy with the Father. Gail Root's book, Master Your Morning: Six Steps to Life Transforming Intimacy with Jesus, offers:
- Practical guidance to awaken to the Kingdom life God has planned for you
- An opportunity to experience God in ways you never dreamed possible
- A pathway to help you give up the rush, the worry, the doubt, the fear of the world and instead WAKE UP to God’s love and His plan for your life
Gail knows all too well what it's like to live in a state of constantly going, whether it's physically or mentally. At one time, she lived to check off all the "boxes" daily. She was striving in her work life and also in her relationship with the Lord. It wasn't until the Lord spoke very clearly to her one morning and revealed that her life was causing self-induced anxiety; that she needed to stop. This led her to drastically change how she was starting her day. Which in turn, led her to the six-step morning practice that is not only part of her life but she gets to share it with others through her book as well as with her clients.
Gail Root is wife, mother to three amazing sons, lifelong entrepreneur, love of travel, adventure, and all things Kingdom! After years leading teams in both direct sales and network marketing, God called Gail to retire, so that she can focus exclusively on coaching His daughter to partner with Him and build on Kingdom values.CONNECT WITH GAIL

In today's episode, inspired by Psalm 46, we'll delve into what it truly means to be still and know God. We'll reflect on the significance of rest as a spiritual discipline and the barriers that often keep us from embracing stillness in our busy lives.
Drawing from the story of Martha and Mary, we'll see how choosing to sit at Jesus's feet can transform our priorities and bring us closer to Him.
We'll unpack Psalm 46, exploring its timeless message of trust in God's sovereignty and protection amidst adversity. And I'm excited to invite you to join our 7-day Be Still and Know Challenge, starting Monday, February 26th. Click the link in the show notes to join our private Facebook group!
Are you ready to step out of chaos and into God's peace? Let's journey together as we learn to be still and know that He is God.

Welcome to our special Monday series called "Coffee with Carol" launches today!
This is a unique 4-part series stemming from an organic, minimally planned in advance conversation between Carol McLeod and me.
She aired the show on her podcast called Significant Women podcast and I’m airing here on Choose 2 Think inspirational podcast in 4 different segments, all dropping on Mondays.
- Part 1 discusses our morning routine/how we seek the Lord.
- Part 2 is all about our current struggles.
- Part 3 addresses regret/shame and handling our past as well as the key mindset to become more forward focused.
- Part 4 we share our favorite bible verses and the impact they’ve had on our lives.
CONNECT WITH CAROL

In this episode, let's explore the transformative power of a single word: "yet." Focusing on emotional well-being, we'll highlight the significance of intentional thinking using examples from Psalm 38.
The key is to introduce "yet" into negative thoughts, reshaping them positively:
- "I've fallen into the same temptation again; I feel so distant from God." → "Yet, I know Your grace is boundless. I can learn, grow, and find redemption."
- "My body aches, O Lord, and these health issues are overwhelming." → "Yet, I trust in Your healing power. In weakness, I am held and cherished by You."
- "O Lord, I thought my fellow believers would understand." → "Yet, I know Your love surrounds me. I can find a supportive community through Your love."
Drawing inspiration from biblical figures, we highlight the positive impact of "yet" on our perspective.
Benefits of aligning thinking with God's truth include stress reduction, improved mood, cognitive function, physical health, social interactions, optimism, and overall well-being.
The episode concludes with a reading of Psalm 38, emphasizing the depth of misery, the grasp at God's mercy, and the ultimate comfort found in God's presence.
As always, I continue to encourage you to recognize the power of your thoughts. By adding "yet" to your thinking, you can find joy and peace, even in challenges, promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

We live our lives based on what we believe about ourselves and what we believe God thinks about us. This all starts with our thoughts and emotions that shape our beliefs. If we aren't aware, our lives can be shaped by lies.
Meliza Farndell's passion for helping others untangle from lies comes from her own experience of being completely overwhelmed with lies she had been believing that began as a little 7-year-old girl.
At age 7, she accepted Jesus as her savior, and then shortly after, she was molested. That event became a building block for who she would become. It wasn't until many years later when she had an encounter with the Father and his love that everything changed.
For the first time in her life, she felt completely loved and accepted. This began the process of healing and getting untangled from all the lies that had shaped her life. Throughout the process, the Lord led her to write the book, Untangled.
Tune in today as we chat about overcoming lies, choosing to think, and taking back your emotions!

She also has a passion to see others get untangled from the lies that keep them stuck, and help them discover their true identity and purpose. This is the message found in the pages of one of her books, Untangled.

In her latest book, Defying Fear, licensed chiropractic physician, triathlete, life coach, author and speaker Dr. Nancy Meyer inspires readers to find the courage to embrace their true value.
DEFYING FEAR is a fictional story inspired by a compilation of true events where she inspires people to defy fear in their own lives by embracing their true value through a focus on spiritual, emotional, and physical practices. Through her personal journey and incredible feats, Dr. Nancy serves as a powerful example of defying fear!
From the outside, Lila Frost seems to have it all together: she is smart, educated, and accomplished. But behind closed doors, she endures consistent abuse from her husband, although she doesn’t fully recognize that abuse is part of her story. Anxiety and fear are unwelcome familiars in Lila’s daily life. For years, she believes the lies as well as the blatant and veiled threats her husband continually throws at her.
But as Lila rekindles her faith, with the support of friends, she learns to defy her fear, take courageous steps, and embrace her own value. The question is, can she sustain her newfound transformation, or will old patterns once again drive her into a pit of depression and despair? Lila’s future depends on one thing: choosing courage and acting in faith, again and again.

Today I open up about my struggle with prioritizing winning over my love for God, using St. Augustine's concept of disordered love to illustrate how this behavior can lead to sinful idolatry. I delve into the role of anger as a revealing indicator of disordered love, referencing various biblical verses and neuroscientific insights. I share a personal story from a pickleball league where my competitive nature led to destructive behavior and strained my relationship with my spouse.
I discuss the necessity of realigning one's priorities and actions to reflect a love for God above all else, and conclude with an invitation for you to reflect on your own priorities and challenges, reminding you of the transformative power of renewing your mind. Grab a bit of hope for positive change and growth believing you have the potential for lasting transformation in every area of your life!

Oliver Asher- Author of “Invincible Joy: Chasing God’s Dreams for Your Life” and President of Advancing Native Missions had an amazing time at NRB and is still available for interviews.
Oliver faced incredible adversity as a child - his house burned down…twice! He overcame a life marked by deep poverty and brokenness to become a Division I scholarship athlete, engineer, and now the leader of a nonprofit working in more than 100 countries. His book, Invincible Joy, shares his redemption story and is a call to embrace joy despite your circumstances.
Advancing Native Missions encourages, equips and advocates for strategic and fruitful local ministries around the world. Instead of sending American missionaries, they empower local missionaries to serve in their own countries.

Perseverance.
Triumph.
Inspiration.
The Baseball Legend and Inspiration for THE HILL movie.
Born in Fort Worth, Texas to a poor Baptist preacher, Rickey Hill’s life was a symphony of trials. Despite adversity, from poverty, bullying due to the braces on his legs, and balancing expectations and dreams, Rickey’s relentless pursuit of his passion in baseball made him one of the greatest hitters the game has ever seen. His life is proof that every day is a canvas for growth, an opportunity to overcome hurdles and emerge stronger. Rickey’s journey is more than just a success story – it’s an inspiration for all to never let go of their dreams.
The story of Rickey Hill is a true-life drama of perseverance, faith, and talent emerging from a childhood of hardship, physical pain, and living in the shadow of his loving yet stern father. In adapting a film of Hill’s story, director Jeff Celentano (Glass Jaw, Breaking Point) recognized right away the potential for greatness a movie made from it could have — much like Rickey himself had a potential on the baseball field that needed to be nurtured before it could fly.
RICKEY'S FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES:
I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Phil. 4:13, NIV)
Those who honor me I will honor... (1 Sam. 2:30, NIV) BUY YOUR TICKETS TO THE FEATURE FILM THE HILL HERE: https://www.fandango.com/the-hill-2023-232141/movie-overview

Her book is a transparent and vulnerable new memoir told from a mother’s heart that shares the rollercoaster journey of being a parent and caregiver to a child struggling with mental illness.
K.T. encourages you to:

- Take note of the significance of discussing mental illness openly, even when society tends to hush these struggles.
- Find encouragement to help your loved ones through this difficult journey
- Be deliberate about sharing your family stories and the legacy of your grandparents

KEY BIBLE VERSE:
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. (Psalm 61:1-3, NIV)

Prayer is a fundamental and essential practice in Christianity, and the majority of Christians around the world engage in prayer as a central aspect of their faith. Prayer is seen as a way to communicate with God, express gratitude, seek guidance, offer praise, and intercede for others.
Yet sometimes, as a Christ follower yourself, you may find yourself engaging in these toxic thoughts:
- I don't know how to pray.
- I don't have time to pray.
- I don't want to bother God with my petty kinds of issues when so many others are suffering in the world.
- God knows everything already. Why do I have to tell Him about things?
- How do I really know God is there? After all, He's invisible!
If you've ever struggled with prayer, this is the episode for you! We'll tackled these tough THOUGHTS that may be standing in the way of more effective and regular communication with the God you serve and love.

In her book Living Without Fear*, author Kirsten Birkett (Ph.D.) will teach you how to work past your anxiety with the help of psalms. As she shares honestly from her own life, you will feel like this is someone who truly understands what it’s like to fear, and yet find peace in Christ. Therein are contained lessons on how to read into the words beyond the surface level to truly let the Lord’s lessons flow through you. Doing so you can obtain practical insights and learn to apply your new-found insights to resolve the issues you are experiencing with anxiety.
This book is filled with meditations and explanations behind the meaning of selected Psalms, each of which contains wonderful truths about God. Living Without Fear describes how knowing those truths can affect our emotions. It gives examples of people who are fearful of life, of their enemies, or of the troubles of the world that can befall them. So it is all the more important to think about how we educate our hearts with the truth.

David Helling has made it his life’s mission to bring Scripture’s Truth from the page to the screen. This endeavor has resulted in many short films and scripts, garnering numerous awards, accolades and international attention– all which now culminate in his debut feature film, His Only Son.
David grew up in Southern Louisiana but spent the bulk of his teens in Texas. Upon graduating high school, David shipped to California for a five-year-stint in the United States Marine Corps– a commitment which eventually took him to the sands of Al-Anbar Province in Iraq. There in the desert, near the edge of ancient Babylon, in a combat zone, another battle was raging in David himself– a war within that eventually drove to the Bible. The result was a transformed heart, sincere faith and a burning desire to tell others of those Biblical accounts.
Here is what David had to say about this movie: “The account at the core of His Only Son is one of the most controversial narratives in all Scripture. You would be hard-pressed to find another passage so scrutinized, scoffed at or misunderstood as the twenty-second chapter of the book of Genesis. With this film, I endeavor to answer the critics as well as the confused by exploring the meaning and purpose of God’s testing of Abraham, when He asked him to do the unthinkable 4,000 years ago. I look to shine a light on the plan the Lord had in place from the beginning, His promise of redemption and the part Abraham’s walk of faith so boldly played.
For us now, the days seem darker than many of us can remember, and at a time when humanity is so downcast, we are in dire need of inspiration to lift us up again. May this film serve as a reminder that in the hard times, in the hurt, in the sadness and in the loss, there is a plan, and there is a purpose for it all. Personally, the last five years of working on this film have been the most trying and heart-wrenching of my life, but I pray, like me, you find encouragement in the testimony of Abraham. His faith was tested. Our hope was born.”
HIS ONLY SON is a cinematic exploration of the story of Abraham, as his faith is tested on his three-day journey to sacrifice his son. The film is a quiet exploration of the scripture, ultimately challenging the viewer to examine their own commitment to hearing and obeying God’s voice. The film stars Nicolas Mouawad as Abraham (Khtarab El Hay, Ruby), and Sara Seyed as Sarah (Black Warrant).
On the show, we chat about how God is always with us during our darkest days (just as He was with Abraham). David shares some of the struggles he experienced as he pursued this mission to share the Good News via putting Biblical Truths to the big screen. The movie which debuted this past Easter weekend was a blockbuster surprise hit! Please support David's endeavors by now renting or buying this film. Stay tuned til the end for a couple of podcast BLOOPERS! :)

My chat with Callie Daruk is positively gripping. She doesn't mince words and goes straight to the heart of the matter: she admits that she was a woman who hypocritically professed God with her mouth, but in her heart she was far from Him (Isa. 29:13)--this is ultimately what brought her to her knees. Callie shares the heart wrenching saga of parenting children with special needs. Her conclusion and word for you is to KNOW God, really know Him.
Callie Daruk is an award-winning author and speaker who encourages others to seek Christ with their whole heart. She serves as the Chapter President of Word Weavers Int., Robertson County. Her writing has appeared in Guideposts, The Upper Room, Focus on the Family, Kids Clubhouse, Charisma, Just 18 Summers, and Nashville Christian Voice magazines.
About her devotional book, *What Does God Want You to do Before You Die?
Death will come certainly but it may come suddenly.
Through her own struggle to find purpose, author Callie Daruk opens our eyes to the importance and urgency of fulfilling our callings. Her thought-provoking reflections cause you to look into your own heart and stir you to ask for yourself the question we should all be asking, What Does God Want You to do Before You Die?
It's time to take a long hard look at ourselves. Have we as Christians asked what it is we're supposed to be doing with our lives? Have we accomplished what we've set out to accomplish? What are the gifts and callings God has placed on our lives and are we using them?
These 30 devotions are designed to help you discover at least one thing God wants you to do before you die and launch you toward accomplishing it.

I share 6 practical tips to deal with worry, including seeking God's guidance, practicing gratitude, and choosing thoughts carefully.
Throughout the episode, I provide personal examples and relevant Bible verses to encourage you to find peace, joy, and a healthier perspective in the midst of uncertainty.
I encourage you to make your own CAN / CAN'T CONTROL LIST and then to surrender those things you cannot control to God. He will do all the CARING and CARRYING for you!
Target verses (some paraphrased):
- Matthew 6:33: Seek God's kingdom and His righteousness above all else.
- 1 Peter 5:7: Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
- Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious but to present your requests to God with thanksgiving.
- Joshua 1:8: Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night.
- Isaiah 41:10: Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
- Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
- Jeremiah 6:16: Thus says the LORD: 'Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.
- Colossians 3:2: Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

This interview with Cristóbal Krusen will touch the deepest parts of your soul especially if you or someone you know has struggled with mental illness. We take a behind the scenes look at the full-length feature film LET ME HAVE MY SON for which Cris wrote the screenplay, directed, and played the leading role. The film offers a poignant message about breaking the stigma of mental illness and encourages you to become more compassionate and empathetic to those suffering from the clutches of mental disorders.
As the founder of Messenger Films (1988), Cris has worked as a writer/director of film and television ever since, helming productions in more than twenty countries. He is best known for Final Solution, More Than Dreams, Undaunted, Sabina K. and most recently, Let Me Have My Son. Over the last several years, Cristóbal has also begun fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a writer. He is the author of Undaunted, They Were Christians, and Let Me Have My Son.
Working in multiple languages as a filmmaker, Cristóbal is known for a poetic visual style and the ability to draw intimate performances from actors. Above all, he is a “storyteller” who delights to engage his audience while addressing the deepest needs of the human heart.
ABOUT THE FILM LET ME HAVE MY SON:
Informed that his son, Benny, has recovered from schizophrenia, Ben Whitmore Sr. travels to Middlemouth Security Hospital to bring Benny home, only to discover he’s nowhere to be found.
This is the storyline of Let Me Have My Son (formerly titled The Puzzle Factory), a semi-autobiographical, emotion-laden tale of a father coming to grips with his son’s devastating mental illness. The topic could not be timelier; the National Institute of Mental Health reports that fully 1 out of 5 of our nation’s children now suffer from debilitating mental disorders.
Let Me Have My Son is based on the true story of the writer-director’s compelling journey with his firstborn son, Daniel, as told in the book of the same title. Principal photography for this feature film has been completed and post-production is well underway.
Did you know that one in five Americans is adversely affected by mental health conditions? In all likelihood, someone you know is among that number. Partner with Messenger Films to help start a movement addressing people’s spiritual, mental, and physical needs in the area of mental health. The opportunity to increase mental health awareness is now!

Have you ever felt discouraged and exhausted while striving to improve yourself? If so, you're not alone. In this episode, I discuss the importance of REST in the process of changing bad thinking habits.
It's uber important to take a break and rest to allow your mind to go fallow, rejuvenate, and gain perspective.
Resting can help you reflect on your progress and celebrate your successes. I'll touch on the biblical precedent for resting, such as the Sabbath Rest and Jesus' teaching on finding rest in him.
So, if you're feeling a bit exhausted during this transformative process of Living Your Best Thought Life and putting into play those 7 R's, this episode is for you!

Everything you think is not necessarily TRUE.
Resisting your negative thoughts and all out rejecting any lies you may be believing is the 2nd R in the 7 R's for Living Your Best Thought Life!
How might you do this?
Ask yourself:
- Is this thought based on facts or assumptions?
- What evidence do I have to support or refute this thought?
- Am I using an all-or-nothing or black-and-white thinking pattern?
- How would I respond to a friend who expressed this thought?
By challenging negative thoughts, you can start to break their hold on you and develop more realistic and positive ways of thinking.
Isn't it time to honor God with your thinking? Don't play on Satan's team any more or come into agreement with what he says!
Tune in for details on rejecting toxic thoughts! Do you relate to the story told at the beginning?

Today we delve into The Readable Bible, a brand-new illustrative translation that presents the text in modern formats and translates it as we speak today. Our guest is Rod Laughlin, the founder and team leader of The Readable Bible, who shares the inspiration behind the project and how it differs from other versions.
The Readable Bible features unique formatting such as family trees for genealogies, tables and charts for numerical data, and outlines for law code. Rod shares how he spent 25 years creating the translation, and how over 100 people have worked with him on this project.
We also learn how this version of the Bible is most helpful and what is next for The Readable Bible. Join us as we explore this exciting new approach to the Bible that makes it easier to comprehend and retain.Personally, I wasn't so sure about a new Bible translation, but Rod graciously answered a few thoughts that were spinning in my head as I prepared for this interview.Rod Laughlin became a Christian when he was twenty-eight years old. Desiring to know more about the Bible, he earned an MDiv at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After serving the Lord as the pastor of two churches and in many other ways for thirty-seven years, he sensed God’s call to put the Bible into modern formats. He has spent the last fourteen years leading a team to create The Readable Bible. Over one-hundred people have worked with him on this project. CONNECT WITH ROD:

Erin Porter, author of Eat Pray Get Well - A journey from Chronic Illness & Brokenness to Wholeness & Healing, has been interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS American Health Journal, CTN, Know the Cause and more.
At eighteen years old, and after an abusive childhood, she was desperate to leave her parents house and moved to New York City. Instead of embarking on a new journey of exploring the big city, she was running from doctor to doctor trying to figure out what was single handedly trying to steal her health (and my finances) out from under me since the move.
This marked the beginning of a 20 plus year descent into chronic illness. She developed tunnel vision, her thoughts were consumed with trying to unravel the cause of her failing health. She spent enormous amounts of tears, frustration, and money trying to get well. Upon research and becoming her own best health advocate, she did ultimately get well but it was a long journey. She discovered a steady companion in the process: God.
The second edition of her book Eat Pray Get Well - A Journey from Chronic Illness & Brokenness to Wholeness & Healing was recently released. Erin interviewed people who also turned to God desperate to get well and find answers. Interviews include supermodel Carol Alt, Joe Cross - star and film maker of Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, renowned cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, Doug Kaufmann - host of televisions Know The Cause, and more.

In 2016, Hands 4Life founder Stacy Shewey traveled to Haiti as part of a mission trip. On that trip, she visited a newly constructed community with an assisted living facility for the elderly. Witnessing firsthand the tremendous need in the developing world for high-quality, compassionate care for older adults, Stacy began a journey leading to the creation of Hands 4Life – one of the few nonprofit missionary organizations focusing on caring for the elderly in developing nations. The need has never been greater.
Stacy’s career began with Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. During this time, she was awarded the prestigious Circle of Excellence Award, which is reserved for the hospitality industry’s best sales associates. Stacy is an entrepreneur who built a successful hospitality company where she owned and operated hotel properties, freelanced as a hotel feasibility consultant, was a consultant/investor on a 60-million-dollar resort start-up, and contracted out as an event planner. She left the hospitality industry to become an Executive Director of an assisted living and memory care community, where she gained experience in the senior living industry. She is a visionary who takes ideas and brings them to life.
After being in the senior living and hospitality industry for her whole career, she felt called to take her experiences and knowledge and serve those in developing nations. We all know we are in an aging crisis in the US, but few realize we are in a global aging crisis where there is no plan to care for the vulnerable and forgotten senior population. It was with this revelation Hands 4Life was born.
On the show today, Stacy and I chat about
- Finding solutions to the current health care crisis for the elderly in the US and abroad
- God-sized dreams and goals
- Challenging our youth with the "circle of life" principle
- Rewriting narratives about respecting and honoring the elderly
- Her current initiatives in Nigeria and Honduras
- How she overcame extreme personal adversity and leaned on God to get her through

Peace means completeness, soundness in body, welfare, safety, quiet, tranquility, contentment, peace in your relationships and with God in your covenant relationship.
You know an aspect of the fruit of the spirit is PEACE, I love this new testament definition of peace as a component of being a Christian: the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is.
So do you fear nothing that God hands you in life? Or do you tend to worry about the days to come? Are you content with your earthly lot? Are you at peace?
And what’s all this talk about peace you wonder?
Well, the very last line in Psalm 29 is this:
"The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace" (v. 11).
This tells me that peace is a blessing. It is something God gives to you and me. It’s one of many "benefits" that you can enjoy as Christ followers.
But why is it that so many people these days are completely bankrupt in the Peace Department? Why is anxiety and depression at all time highs in our world?

James Edwards joins us on the show today. He is featured in and has been an incredible resource for the creators of the filmINNOVATION RACE. James is the founder and executive director of Conservatives for Property Rights, and is the patent advisor for the Eagle Forum Education and Legal Defense Fund.
He is an outspoken Christian - and part of why he is involved in the fight to protect patent rights is because God made us to create. Up until 2011, our country was dedicated to protecting this calling.
The Bible largely shaped the worldview of our Founding Fathers - with our Constitution written not long after the Great Awakening. A few points that the Bible shares about innovation:
- God is the Creator, and he is creative.
- God is the owner of his creations and has claims to what he has made. The 10 Commandments are essentially property rights!
- We are made in God’s image - and he has endowed us with His highest qualities, including being creative.
- The Creation Mandate - Adam and Eve were called to work, be fruitful, tend God’s creation…God gave us ownership and creative initiative.
James argues that we have to protect patent rights - just as we need to protect our other freedoms and religious liberties. The Founding Fathers believed everyone is made in the image of God, and respected and protected property rights - including intellectual and creative properties. (Article 1 Section 8 - protects patent rights…and this includes women, and people of color!) - and this created a vibrant, creative culture in our first 200 years as a nation.
Innovation Race is currently available through Virtual Event Cinema and has rolled out on popular streaming platforms.

Sometimes it’s one word that creeps into your vocabulary and can cause you to feel guilty, anxious, and worried. This particular word can cause you to experience frustration, and even stress. Often after using this one word you conclude you’re a failure.
What is that word you wonder? SHOULD.
- I should have done those dishes last night.
- I should have finished that report at work.
- I should be skinnier by now.
- I should be able to handle this crisis better.
- I shouldn’t eat this second helping of pudding.
Or we can flip it to the accusatory tone:
- You should be ashamed of yourself.
- You should go to the gym even though it’s late.
- You should never say those things.
- You shouldn’t be struggling with anger at your age.
- You should never leave your wallet lying around like that!
In this Magnificent Monday Series on cognitive distortions, we will explore and explain:
-
What IS shoulding
-
What is it damaging to your brain, mood, and relationships
-
How to over come shoulding with 5 Practical TIPS you can start using today!

Training yourself to praise the Lord can be exceptionally difficult when you are depressed, anxious, or feeling overwhelmed.
It’s like your mind is so consumed by your situation that you cannot see past all the gazillion hurdles that are looming ahead in your way.
So you take the path of least resistance with your thoughts. You repeat those same negative and toxic thoughts that actually may have gotten you where you are now in the first place.
Thoughts like:
- I can’t do my life.
- I’m always alone.
- I’m so tired of all this.
- I’ll never get ahead.
- Whatever I try to do, it always fails.
- Nobody understands me.
- Even my best efforts amount to nothing.
- I just wish I had someone to help me.
- If only they knew what I have done.
- I can’t believe I’m now in this place.
Ok, you get the picture! But seriously, is there something going on in your life right now that is kickin your hiney as we say in Kentucky? What is draining a lot of your emotional energy these days? Where are your thoughts camping out?
I know what it’s like to really be down in the dumps, but there was a day that God kindled a NEW thought in my heart (Thanks to a dear and wise mentor) that if my THOUGHTS led me into darkness, it could be my THOUGHTS that would lead me out.
Tune in to find out what that #1 Ninja tip is all about and how practicing this tip can help you turn your blahs around!

Emotional Reasoning. This type of cognitive distortion or faulty thinking may be the most difficult to discern in some ways because it is based on feelings and emotions.In part 7 of our Magnificent Mondays series on cognitive distortions, we will take a deep dive into EMOTIONAL REASONING.
Admittedly I have been a person who has been incredibly emotionally driven. My emotions and feelings were KING of the show. Instead of using FACTS to make conclusions on various situations, I have based my reactions and decisions (even really important ones) on my FEELINGS instead.
Let me tell you this way to do life is extremely caustic, rancid, and harmful to yourself and anybody else involved. It can be the root of anxiety and depression and lead to self destructive behavior such as eating disorders and other addictions that tend to suppress negative feelings (for the moment). If you are emotionally driven you might make decisions based on those feelings that you will really regret later.
Today we will answer these questions:
- What is emotional reasoning?
- What’s the danger in this line of thinking?
- What can you do about it from a Biblical worldview?
Stay tuned for the 4 tips included in Segment 3 of this episode so that
👉🏽 You won’t be so emotionally driven for starters.
👉🏽 You can learn to make decisions on facts, not feelings.
👉🏽 You’ll have a greater sense of calm and stability about your day.
👉🏽 You’ll be willing to take risks instead of cower in fear.
👉🏽 You’ll stop self-sabotaging with your thoughts and you’ll find that you are feeling much better.
👉🏽 You’ll no longer be prone to extreme mood shifts and swings, but rather a more nature cadence and softer rhythms will flavor your day.
👉🏽 You’ll recognize that God is conforming you into His image that you are being transformed by the renewing of your mind!

THEME VERSES:
Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues. The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value. The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of sense Proverbs 10:19-32 NIV
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phil. 4:8-9 NIV

DISCOUNTING THE POSITIVE is VERY SIMILAR to MENTAL FILTERING except instead of IGNORING all the positives that flow right on through your mental filter, you are more adamant in ABSOLUTELY REJECTING the good things.
What is the danger from discounting the positive? It might make you feel like
- Even though you worked hard, it just wasn’t good enough
- You may feel inadequate and even less than
- You may think, well, anyone could have done that
- You may even feel unrewarded despite the fact that you earned a tangible reward like a job raise or a trophy
- Discounting the positive zaps the joy right out of your life!
- You may find yourself self-sabotaging because "success" seems way too scary for you
- Discounting the positive causes anxiety and stress and can destroy your self-esteem and even your GOD-esteem
Tune in today to unpack the ONE THING YOU NEED TO DO to shift your focus and RECEIVE THE POSITIVE IN YOUR LIFE!
THEME VERSE
Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Welcome to Part 3 in our Magnificent Mondays Series all about overcoming cognitive distortions so that you can be SALT AND LIGHT to others as you share the love of Christ to a world in need!
You may recall that a cognitive distortion is a thought that is not straight - it’s crooked, if you will, and it doesn’t line up with reality or it is excessively negative in essence. We all dip into cognitive distortions during our day - this is quite normal - but if you find yourself stuck in negative thought loops or you just can’t get to the bottom of what’s bugging you, then there may be something off in your thinking that you will want to examine with greater attention.
If you’re joining for the first time, you’re in for a treat because this series is chock full of examples, reflection questions to see if you are prone to faulty thinking, and tips and tricks to overcome these pesky, unwanted thought patterns.
You also may want to back track to episode 202 where we talk about polarized or all or nothing thinking and episode 204 where we hit overgeneralization.
Today we are discussing the cognitive distortion called MENTAL FILTERS.
- We will define Mental filtering
- Give examples of mental filtering including one personal example
- Offer 7 practical tips to get you out of the trap of mental filtering!
Tune in to the Magnificent Mondays Series as I'll help you:

What is OVERGENERALIZATION?
Although this is one word, it has 2 parts: over and generalization.
"Over" means excessive in this case and "generalization" is a term that is extremely broad. It's when you excessively broaden any thought or conclusion--from one negative event you make a sweeping generalization about yourself or your situation.
For example, burning the toast goes to "I can never do anything right."
Generalizations can be kinda like stereotypes: "All Americans wear blue jeans."
Generalizing is taking one characteristic and applying it to all cases (which would hardly ever be true!)
Just like with all or nothing thinking, the words “always” and “never” “everything” and “nothing” come into play.
Tune in to this 2nd part in the Magnificent Mondays Series as I'll help you:
- unpack the most common cognitive distortions
- identify if you are plagued by these types of faulty thinking, and
- put into play tips to help you move past this type of twisted thinking.

On the Choose 2 Think Inspirational Podcast we take 2 Scriptures very seriously: 2 Cor. 10:5 which tells us to take every thought captive and to bring it to the obedience of Christ and Rom. 12:2 that admonishes you and me to be transformed through the renewing of our minds.
In our Magnificent Monday Series we are going to take a deep dive into about 12 common cognitive distortions or filters that are impacting your emotional well being and consequently your behavior!
Why is this important?
Because your thoughts (accurate or distorted) impact your emotions and feelings which in turn have a direct correlation on your BEHAVIOR and HABITS. If you want to change your behavior in life, you’ve got to get to the original thoughts that are driving your actions. You’ve heard people say they feel stuck, anxious, depressed, fearful, and less than or unworthy.
We’re gonna tackle these sticky mindsets and put a bulls eye target on the thought patterns and distortions that fuel all this negativity so that you can turn a new leaf in your life, find rest in Christ, and allow your faith to be refined. You’re a diamond in God’s eyes and maybe it’s time to let Him do a little polishing on your thought life so you can get on with the business and purpose he has for you in life!
The Magnificent Monday series episodes will offer you bite-size nuggets for change. You’ve heard it said that a single acorn is the promise of 1000s of forests. Making an atomic change in your thought life is the promise of a lifestyle change that optimizes your physical and emotional health as well as your relationships!
Let’s nail down that faulty thinking to help you live Your Best THOUGHT LIFE.

Ever heard this song by kid singer Raffi?
I like to go bowling with my friend Bert
My bowling ball and my bowling shirt
I like roll the ball down the lane
On a good day, I'll throw a few strikes
And maybe some spares, that's what I like
Bowling is my kind of game
from: https://genius.com/Raffi-the-bowling-song-lyrics
I used to have an old Raffi tape (yes, cassette tape) and I loved his songs! This particular song came to mind last night as Jim and I bowled in league playoffs. Tune in for the whole story as well as a few lessons learned in the bowling alley!

Sober since 2001, Rob Lohman helps people suffering from substance abuse to find freedom from addiction and incarceration. Rob is the Founder of LIFTED From The Rut. Divinely FREED from alcoholism and drug addiction in 2001, Rob has helped thousands of families, individuals and professionals discover FREEDOM from addiction.
He does this through sharing his testimony, Professional Interventions and Recovery Coaching, Advocacy, Event Speaking, and being the host of Beyond The Bars Radio Podcast and Addiction, Freedom & Faith Podcast.
Are you trying to figure out how to help your loved one, family member, friend, or client who is trapped in the throes of addiction but something is holding you back?
- Shame is a roadblock to recovery especially when you watch your loved ones, friends, and others suffer in their addiction. You may think no one would understand or that no one has ever done the things your loved one is doing.
- Fear is another barrier to getting the help you need. Perhaps you are afraid to intervene because you worry that your loved one may never talk to you again.
- Guilt may cause inertia--you feel guilty for not helping and guilty for rocking the boat if you do seek help.
Snag your copy of Rob's book to help deal with what's holding you back as your heart's desire is to help others: The Addiction Intervention Book: 11 Break through Strategies for Professionals and Families to Help Clients and Loved Ones Discover Freedom from Addiction -- available here: https://amzn.to/3CsHQQD

Open up a word document or grab a blank sheet of paper and take about 30 minutes or so to reflect on last year in 4 areas:
- health (both emotional and physical);
- your wealth (purpose, passion and earthly mission);
- your love life and relationships (intimacy and community); and
- your faith or spirituality.
Go ahead. Put those category names at the top of your page: health, wealth, love, faith.
Then take a moment to pray asking God to help you create an outline or summary of this past year as the basis of your reflection.
Ask yourself - What were the major milestones or stumbling blocks in these areas of my life?
Think who, what, when, where, and how to help you delve deeper.
Determine what you want to stop, start, or continue for the coming year.
Has God placed on your heart a WORD for the year?
What do you need to RELEASE in your life?
As opposed to setting goals or creating a system for change in your life, try this reflective method to get you going in more healthier directions. It's a powerful tool to help you start this next chapter of your life!

Meet Gloria Knight.
- Author of Soul Wound, a fictionalized version of Gloria’s real-life story marked by suspense, danger, and love.
- Victim of two abusive marriages and a mother of three children. She has been single ever since.
- Gloria uses her horrific life experiences to minister to outer-city children. She teaches them to be leaders and examples in their communities.
- Before getting married, Gloria would describe her worldview as sheltered and naïve. Her abusive relationships opened her eyes to not only a corrupt world, but a forgiving God.
In our chat we talked about how Gloria found the strength to forgive her abusers.
We focused on 3 COMMON THOUGHTS that you may think that could play interference with God's desire that you forgive those who have hurt you in any way:
1. After all he/she/they did to me, they don't deserve to be forgiven.
2. If I forgive them, it means that I'm giving them permission to continue doing wrong.
3. If they don't care about forgiveness, why should I?
We look at what God has to say about these particular thoughts.
Target Scripture Verses:
Eph. 4:32; Mat. 6:14; Col. 3:13; Psa. 32:1
Be sure to tune in and check out Gloria's newest books!

Your brain believes what you tell it most and what you visualize the most! Every single day your body responds to your thoughts! Simply thinking about anything causes your brain to fire signals and to release neurotransmitters which control or impact bodily functions - even your emotions, moods, and mindsets!
In a nutshell this is the essence of your brain’s neuroplasticity!
This is the 4th video in our BRAIN POWER series that drops every Monday through December! And I am super pumped about today’s topic because it gets a lot of press these days:
It’s all about affirmations - And we’re gonna focus on affirmations in a godly sense!
What you say to yourself REALLY matters. Use these 5 POWERHOUSE AFFIRMATIONS plus check out 5 Benefits on today's show!

Today, we’re gonna briefly tackle neuroplasticity or the scientific fact that it is NEVER too late to form new brain neurons and connections.
This means you don’t have to stay stuck in the same old moods, mindsets, or states of being.
You have considerable control over your feelings BUT if you are in negative think /feel loop, you’re gonna have to work hard to rewire your brain.
Essentially because you can think yourself sick, you can conversely think yourself well.
Tune in to hear the many benefits of rewiring your brain with God-honoring thoughts!
Be sure to get your devotional today so that you can start each day on the right thought!

Tune in for reminders of just how important daily devotional time with God really is and how it impacts your life!
Don, a certified lay speaker in the Methodist church, has spent time in prayer and Bible study every morning for the past 11 years with his beloved dog, Lucy, at his feet. After the passing of Lucy, Don was inspired to write Just Me, Lucy, and the Lord, a 31-day devotional about the discipline of daily devotional time with God (link below).

Join Carol and me on the show today as we talk faith and practical ways you can face trial and hardship. You won't be disappointed in our conversation--we're like two old friends chatting over a cup of coffee about how we live out the Bible in our lives. We share about our personal bouts with depression, how to walk in our calling and purpose, and unpack several nuggets from her book Meanwhile. You don't want to miss the prayer at the end (direct quote from her book).

In addition to being a gummy bear addict, cat lover and book worm—Mari White is a two-time Emmy® Award Winning TV Host, Actress and multi-award winning Producer. Trained by mentors from the Actor’s Studio, Mari has performed in various New York Off-Broadway theaters, appeared in multiple films, shows and commercials. She has graced the cover of various magazines, been featured in numerous print ads, and walked fashion week runways. As a versatile host, her credits range from Monday Night Football with ESPN to the first ever live online morning show, AOL Rise. Mari has had the honor of creating, partnering and producing with Christian bands and celebrities to uplift and entertain others through God and family-centered media.
On today's show, Mari and I chat about her new movie FIRST RESPONDERS.
First Responders is an inspirational movie that celebrates the vitality of marriage and the bonds of friendship, which carry our film’s firefighters, police, and EMTs through their challenges. The movie tells the story of Karen Williams, a trauma therapist, who has witnessed firsthand the special courage that shapes those who work in emergency services. But then her husband, a career firefighter, returns from a life changing blaze. Karen discovers that a degree, along with years of counseling first responders, has done little to personally prepare her to help her husband’s battle with PTSD. Unable to see a path to save her marriage, she turns to God and celebrates the truth that through Him all things are possible. Perhaps no one knows this better than the brave men and women who provide emergency services: the ones we call “first responders.”
Be sure to share this link with a FIRST RESPONDER and their family today! Not only will this powerful message encourage their heart, it will also validate their efforts and sacrifice!

JT is an author, speaker, adventure enthusiast, and survivor that has a mission to help us see there are no bad days - only hard days. His new book, NO BAD DAYS: How to Find Joy In Any Circumstance * shares JT’s against-all-odds story of overcoming countless physical and learning challenges. JT ought to know this truth, because by the time JT was 3 years-old, he'd spent 250 days in the hospital. He had 16 major surgeries before he was 16 years old.
Diagnosed with VATER/VACTERL syndrome as well as severe dyslexia and short-term memory loss, learning was nearly impossible. Yet he defied the odds - learned to read and write, graduated from high school, attended college, and became a successful speaker, podcast host, author and adventure travel enthusiast.
Tune in to this episode as JT shares his harrowing Mt. Kilimanjaro climb as well as an overcomer's story included in his book. We focus on TWO ways to help you face every giant and climb every mountain with joy and hope:
- Find your tribe
- Tell your story
You're sure to be inspired and ready to go in this thing called life! Plus JT blesses you with a prayer toward the end of our chat!

Let’s tackle the tough issue of antisemitism and how you can approach this topic and many others as a 21st-century Christ follower.
Don’t let your brain avoid thinking about issues that are difficult and challenging to engage. You CAN attempt to understand ideas that make you think deeply. You have a role to play. Kasim and I chat about issues ranging from his former identity as a radical Muslim to his conversion to Christianity, from witnessing now to those of the Islamic faith to challenging that internal dialogue we all have going about our past.
Bottom Line: Let’s choose 2 think: We are all humans - Let’s view people the way God views them (their political positions do not change how God views them, nor should it change yours).
Kasim Hafeez is a British citizen of Pakistani Muslim heritage who grew up being exposed to radical Anti-Western, Antisemitic and Anti-Israel ideas on a daily basis. During his teenage years Kasim embraced a radical Islamist ideology and became very active in the anti-Israel movement. Thankfully Alan Dershowitz’s book ‘The Case for Israel’ challenged Kasim’s fundamental beliefs and caused him to undertake a period of research and reflection that led him to Israel in 2007. Witnessing the true nature of the Jewish state changed Kasim’s perception of Israel. He felt a moral obligation to publicly speak out for Israel and the dangers of radical Islam. He has spoken all over the world including the 2013 Global Forum on Combatting Antisemitism. Kasim has appeared on radio and television and print media.

Never Again? unpacks the horror of antisemitism and the power of survival and redemption. Viewers will journey with a Holocaust survivor (Irving Roth) into the depths of darkness and surface in the light. You will also travel deep down the dark and twisted path once taken by a former radicalized Muslim (Kasim Hafeez) and join him as he describes his conversion, now defending Israel on the world’s stage. Never Again will shed the spotlight on the modern-day hatred and bring you a newfound awareness of the power we have to say “We will not rest or be silent. NEVER AGAIN.”

As a divine deterrent to future sinning or to stop whatever you may be contemplating doing that is not of God, take a moment to reflect on what King David says about sin – and let’s face it, he ought to know!
He offers us 3 reminders:
- Sin is HEAVY
- Sin isolates
- Sin requires confession
Tune in to the full episode and a special prayer for you at the end especially if you are struggling with sinful thoughts, attitudes, or behavior.

This is a quick catch-up on our Peru trip as well as a reminder of how you need to choose to think when it comes to the 4 main areas of your life:
- health
- wealth/finances/your calling
- relationships
- faith
And I have a challenge for you:
Instead of asking God for anything, try praising Him or thanking Him for just one week. See how this turns your life around and fast!
We'll also look at how appreciating God's natural beauty is a good first step to enjoying His presence and majesty as inspired by Psalm 65.
Thank you for tuning in like you do! I appreciate you so very, very much!

Have you found yourself repeating lately: I’m so overwhelmed. This is all too much. I’m at my breaking point.
Now these things may indeed be TRUE - but you surely don't want to continue to energize these energy draining thoughts. Learn to recognize them as indicators that you may need to press in a bit more to the Lord or practice self-care or get back to a routine of sorts. You may need to establish firmer boundaries or say no to tasks that usually you might say yes to.
In addition to rejecting life-sucking thoughts, try this recipe for slowing down:
-
Pray! Invite the Lord to guide you daily.
-
Read His Word. Be inspired by how gently and sweetly He speaks to you and encourages your heart.
-
Expect Your Father to demonstrate His faithfulness and kindness to you today. Be on the look out for it!\
-
Gve thanks. Praise him and express gratitude for His amazing love and provisions in your life.
And if all else fails, whisper "Help, Lord" to Him. These 2 words are, as one commentator said, "a kind of angel's sword, to be turned every way, and to be used on all occasions." God hears you, Brain Changer!
Start living your best thought life today and see what a difference it can make!

Our nation was met with such horrific and terrifying news yesterday, May 24, 2022. The death of 19 children, 2 adults, and a live shooter in a senseless massacre at Rob Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Did you awaken this morning in the wake of this devastating news and feel the energy drain from your spirit, like I did?
What is today, I thought? Yes, it’s Wednesday.
Oh yes, I’ll see Ella today for her swim team practice.
My sweet granddaughter - elementary school age. What if this tragic incident took place closer to home and more directly impacted my family?
My heart sank and my breathing grew shallow.
Where do you put such news? How do you even get your mind around this in an attempt to understand?
Tune in as I offer 3 ways for you to rise up, to be the light, to offer comfort, and to spread love and forgiveness.

You're gonna love this full episode with Ben Virgo of Christian Heritage London as he shares stories of a few of the great heroes of the faith such as John Wesley and William Wilberforce.
Ben emphasizes how many of these men were ordinary folks with ordinary struggles just like you and I, yet they changed the world! The faith of these heroes hinged on Christ and the resounding announcement of the Gospel that it is Christ who finished the work through His resurrection.
It is that victorious and eternal life that we are promised, our own grit and grind notwithstanding.
If you've ever had THOUGHTS such as:
- I must try harder!
- I'm not enough.
- I don't measure up to the next guy.
- I don't have what it takes.
- I must persist!
- It's all about my technique.
- I must strengthen my resolve.
then you might ask God to reveal to your spirit and penetrate your heart with the knowledge and understanding that He has done the work and you can rest in Him and Him alone.
Ben is the Director of Christian Heritage London-an organization devoted to telling the stories of how the gospel has changed the world in London, how it continues to change the world in London, that it might change the world again! He gives tours through London and the British Museum, hosts the Christian Heritage London podcast, runs the George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, and William Wilberforce Twitter pages and is a dynamic speaker. He lives in the Projects in East London where he and his family have planted a church among Bangladeshi Muslims.

Psalm 92 teaches us to give praise in the morning and reflect on God's faithfulness each night!
Giving thanks is a critical habit for Brain Changers everywhere--it can change the entire dynamic of our day.
What's more, it's like super "food" for our brain!
What we focus on grows. Focusing on God reduces anxiety and calms our fears and worries.

Psalm 107 offers us 4 individual types: the wanderer, prisoner, rebel, and average Jo or Jane. By their own devices and choices or by the hand of God, they experience trial, hardship, and in some cases agony to the point of death and apparent destruction.
Curiously, each class of people do the same thing for relief: they cry out to God for deliverance, help, or to save them in their distress. The psalmist repeatedly admonishes them to "give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind."
The psalm written so many years ago is powerfully applicable to us 21st century Christians.
Where do you find yourself?
- Lost and without a home? Perhaps a prodigal, walking away from God?
- Addicted to a lifestyle or certain habits that never comfort or satisfy you?
- Outright rebellious and suffering from your own iniquitous behavior?
- Or just doing life as best you can, conducting your business knowing God's at the helm when suddenly tragedy strikes?
In all cases, as Christians we learn to bend our knee to the God of this universe, trusting Him in every area and aspect of our lives and giving Him full rein to help us to grow and learn. We train our minds and brains to stay fixed on His Truth, not on our situation, our opinions, or our own cleverness. We lean into Him and then we practice praise-filled thinking!

Max Rooke coaches and works with high achieving individuals and teams who have a real deep desire to perform and live life at the next level. His passion comes from living his life inside a world of high performance and studying why people do what they do. This journey has led him to extensively research the answer to this question - What is the difference between GOOD & GREAT in every area of life? The answer is what his clients use to make the small shifts that create extraordinary results.
A native of England, Max grew up and played for professional team Reading Football Club before moving to the U.S.A to play collegiate soccer for NCAA Division I Mercer University. During this time he won four conference championships, was Atlantic Sun Conference player of the year, an All-American selection and is currently the only male soccer player in school history to have his jersey retired. Rooke also had the distinguished honor of being a member of the Great Britain National soccer team and competed at two World Championships.
As a coach, Rooke was an accomplished high school educator and coach before moving to the NCAA collegiate game - Working as assistant coach for the Mercer University Women's Soccer program and the University of Illinois Springfield Men's Soccer program. During his time in Springfield, Illinois Max also served as the Director of Coaching for Springfield Area Soccer Association. Currently Max is working as the Associate Head Women's soccer coach at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California where he has been part of two West Coast Conference Championships, one NCAA Sweet Sixteen Appearance, four NCAA Tournament Appearances and two NCAA Regional Staff of the Year awards.
When not coaching or sharing his empowering message, Max enjoys spending time with his wife and supporting her volleyball team.

Like David, have you ever cried out, "How long, LORD, how long?"
One of the keys to waiting, enduring, or suffering a long time involves focusing on the reward instead of our plight and the agony in the waiting. We learn to shift our thoughts to long for Christ and Christ alone.

Doc and I talk apologetics or defending our faith–what this really means and how we can do it.
We chat about how sometimes we THINK we’re not qualified to share our faith or we compare ourselves to others who seem to be sharing their faith in marvelous ways – we feel somehow less than and cower back in fear. Doc encourages us to shine the light of Christ in our own unique and personal ways and release the outcome!
You’ll hear Doc speak about
- The privileges and benefits of being a Jesus follower and how it makes good sense!
- How we can overcome our fears and share our personal experiences with others
- If we feel a bit shaky in defending our faith when it’s under attack, we don’t have to know all the answers but can instead point others to resources or other individuals who have helped us along the way (see resources below)
Be sure to tune in and pass the link to a friend!

Let's learn to reframe our thinking when faced with trials and hardships or just everyday humdrum living.
Target Message from Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.

Have you ever felt forgotten by God? Like God is not tending to you and your needs? Maybe you are overwhelmed with sorrow in your soul?
There is hope.
In Psalm 13 King David concludes with how he will trust in God's lovingkindness, rejoice in his salvation, and ultimately sing. This can be you, too!
Let's take a moment to experience the peace that only God can give in all situations we face on this earth.

Today on the show, you’ll meet Shelby Horn, the Master Coach at Bridge 4 Recovery. Shelby teaches Loving Journey courses that equip you with the tools you need to stay balanced, practice self-care, improve your relationships, and seek God during your journey. I invited her on the show to chat about thanksgiving and gratitude. You’re gonna love this episode!
If you struggle with the holidays, traveling, going to multiple houses, having to share your kids, maybe even being alone, this is your show! One of my favorite parts is when Shelby talked about listening to God and walking with Him during those lonely times. It was such an inspirational and encouraging piece of advice to keep my eyes off myself and on God. We also chat about the importance of staying present in the moment, something I am trying so hard to practice myself these days!
Be sure to give Shelby some love!

Welcome to another Choose 2 Think episode and our special Choose 2 think about your health series we are running for a couple of months as we examine ways to improve our health! We’ve already hit on water consumption, the benefits of drinking green tea, popcorn/nutritional yeast/olive oil and omega 3s. Today we’ll pivot a bit to how to deal emotionally and physically with any chronic pain we may be experiencing.
When we talk about our health, way too often our thoughts really play interference with our attempts to make healthy and wise choices. And when we’re dealing with chronic pain those thoughts can spiral down pretty quickly.
We may find ourselves engaging these types of thoughts:
- I’ll never get well.
- This (my condition) has ruined everything.
- I’ll just have to live with this the rest of my life.
- It’s no use. Nothing I try seems to help.
We’ve all likely energized one or two of these thoughts. Is there a way out? In other words, Is it enough to turn our thinking around and THINK our way to better health? Kinda! At least it is for me! And our thinking is definitely the place we want to start!
In this episode I’ll offer you 3 practical steps you can take to help you turn the corner on your pain and reset your mind (and brain) for pain-free living! Please tune in and share with a friend (especially helpful if you are someone you know are looking for home remedies for PLANTAR FASCIITIS.

Welcome to the CHOOSE 2 THINK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH SERIES we are running on Mondays through December.
I know! There are a gazillion THOUGHTS that run interference with our best laid HEALTH plans, such as:
I don’t have time to get to the gym or join an exercise class or to work out!
I don’t have the money to invest in my health to this extent.
I’ve always been a bit on the hefty size and I’ve resigned to always being overweight.
My doctor says I could lose 20 pounds, but he doesn’t seem that worried about it.
I’ve tried everything and nothing works.
I’m not about to give up all the yummy holiday foods. Who cares. I deserve to splurge especially then.
Food is my best friend. I really need this type of comfort.
Isn't today the right day to start living your best thought life when it comes to your health?
In this episode we're gonna take a look at the many benefits of consuming foods high in OMEGA 3's or taking supplements. We'll also look at how krill oil compares against fish oil.

I thought it might be a good time to chat informally about anger, conflict management, and processing all the emotions we have when our blood starts to boil or when we feel wronged and falsely accused.
I’d like to offer you 3 quick tips plus one BONUS practical action to take if you stay tuned until the end all of which will help you calm down and put your thoughts and words in their proper place and to better control your emotions and feelings.
1. WE VENT TO GOD.
2. WE LOVE ANYWAY and WE KEEP PRAYING!
3. WE GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE GOD.
- Bonus tip you can start today to curb anxiety and stress. :)
Stay tuned as we unpack this psalm with the subheading "Vengeance invoked upon adversaries"!

CHOOSE 2 THINK ABOUT YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH SERIES
It's never too late to start what's right! Every healthy action you take with your body starts with your thoughts!
Even micro-changes, like adding this mega-snack into your diet, can help you pivot in a much better direction and lifestyle.
Wanna know what may be the healthiest snack on the planet (according to Yours Truly)?
Why it's organic popcorn, a spritz of organic olive oil, and nutritional yeast, of course!
Tune in to find out exactly why I think this combo is oh-so healthy and oh-so scrumptious!
For [God] satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. Psalm 107:9

To say she's a virtual assistant really doesn't do justice to who Deborah is! I'd call her more of an integrator or social media guru. Week after week, she remains persistent, calm, and determined to produce stellar work and contribute to the needs of a Grateful Heart Ministries.
She's the one who is behind the scenes in our Facebook community and Instagram keeping you up-to-date on ministry events. She shares from her heart about each podcast episode, encouraging you to take a listen. She creates beautiful pins on Pinterest to remind you of God's amazing grace and truth.
And if this isn't enough, Deborah, a Ugandan citizen and currently residing there, is passionate about serving God through singing and playing instruments. She sings and plays on the worship team at Living Ministries of Christ International pastored by Ap. Paul Steve Busulwa. She's also a student of Accounting and Finance, but currently on leave from her studies.
Deborah volunteers her time and talent at GrassRoots Family (this is how she and I met!) a non-profit organization that "Shares the Gospel and Cares for the Community" to win more souls for the heavenly kingdom.
Here we are...two Christian women, two different ages, two different cultures, on two different continents sharing the love of Christ.
Please tune in and be sure to show Deborah some love!

God Sees You & He Hears You. Do You Believe This?
Have you ever felt:
- Like you’ve worked so hard for the Lord, but the rewards just aren’t there?
- Small, alone, insignificant?
- Unworthy of God’s love?
Let’s peek into the fascinating story of Hagar
Target Scriptures:
GEN. 16:13
[Hagar] gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
MAR 9:24
Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Find yourself playing the blame game these days? Harboring bitterness, resentment or ill will toward anyone? Crying out: “After all I’ve done for you!!” Playing this dastardly game whether we blame others or ourselves often leads to unforgiveness.
Wisdom beckons us to take a new path instead of walking down the path of offense.
Action Items to Take when we long to forgive others or ourselves:
- Shift perspectives
- When notice the dip in your emotions or mood - analyze your thoughts
- Acknowledge the emotion and feeling - what are they indicating that you may value
- Try to put yourself in their shoes
- Give them the benefit of the doubt
- Good to remember our own offenses and how we’re not perfect
- Recognize you are a work in progress
- Determine when it comes to unforgiveness whether you want to be RIGHT or FREE
- Remember Jesus Christ - the not at fault yet declared guilty; the innocent taking all the blame upon Himself so we wouldn’t have to

hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,

Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’”
Luke 7:47

Isa. 54:4-5
“Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband—the LORD Almighty is his name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
Jer. 17:7
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him

What do we mean by the thought "Nobody loves me"? We may feel:
- unwanted
- like no one cares
- unlovable
- isolated and alone in our suffering and grief
- abandoned
- out of the loop
AVOID THESE 5 TRAPS:
To work our way out of this toxic thought we we get “stuck” there, we must learn to identify the feeling and the thoughts surrounding it and then learn to feel the feeling instead of:
- Seeking distraction or avoiding the issues
- Looking for a quick fix for finding “comfort”
- Deciding to squash the feeling, just “suck it up”
- Internalizing the feeling
- escaping in a book, work, tv, or general busyness
How do we then feel the feeling that results when we think nobody loves us? How do we process through this feeling?
- Give yourself permission to feel
- Meet with a counselor
- Be honest with self
- Cry
- Be still
- Slow down
- Accept and expect discomfort
- Keep an emotions/feelings journal
- Cheer yourself on
- Give yourself a break - it’s okay to break down
- Pour out heart and soul
- Accept a big hug from Jesus
- Ask Him to reveal Himself to you
- Admit areas of unbelief
- Recognize God’s love for you daily
- Keep your focus on loving others more than your desire to be loved (St. Francis of Assisi)

Target Scriptures:
2 Cor. 10 3-5
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 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. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

You’ve likely heard it said that there are 5 stages of grief that commonly visit everyone when they are faced with loss of a loved one.
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
You may find yourself in a state of “grief” due to job loss, divorce, or as a result of any fractured relationship. You may be suffering from sickness and illness or be bowed low due to the weight of life. Perhaps you’re feeling depressed and anxious, isolated, fearful, and out of sorts as a result of our world’s reaction to the pandamic of Covid 19.
Although processing grief is unique to each individual, today’s episode offers immense hope and encouragement to that suffering child of God no matter the root of the suffering. For every stage of grief we experience, we choose to believe that God is our helper.

Have you reached a point of fatigue, frustration, and forgetfulness in your life? Are you at the end of your rope?
Let’s take a deep dive into how to REFRAME the toxic thought: I Can’t Do My Life.
Truly, the more we say we can’t do our lives, the more we can’t. Negative words and attitudes are extremely powerful.
What can we do to pivot and replace toxicity with God’s eternal truth?
14 MUST-DO’S TO REFRAME THIS THOUGHT
- Practice self-care
- Get fresh air daily
- Soak up the Sunshine
- Connect with others daily
- Exercise, sweat to detox
- Get out of Dodge
- Spend time with Lord
- Pray
- Have a cleansing cries
- Examine your 4 tanks: Spiritual, Emotional, Physical, Practical
- Use words that give life: Exchange “productive” for “busy”; “get to” for “have to”
- Ask yourself: Do I need help? when you’re having a FLAT-TIRE FEELING
- Create your GET-TO-DO LIST to help you remember important tasks
- Meditate repeatedly on Bible verses that are filled with truth involving your abilities
Featured Scriptures:
Phl: 4:13: I can do all this through [Christ] who gives me strength.
Zec. 4:6: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
Luk. 10:41-42: “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

This conversation was so much more than simply chatting about Victoria's prolific career as a writer.
We took a deep dive into the amazing privilege of being Christians. We don't shy away from some really hard questions regarding our faith and the practical application of walking it all out daily!
Our chat took as many twists and turns as the plots in her novels. We unraveled so much more than her love for writing and her passion for Jesus. We discussed how she somewhat logically came to know God and we unpacked the importance of asking questions as you seek Him.
You’ll love every moment. And be sure to catch the entire unedited video conversation or the HIGHLIGHT REEL on YouTube.
Give her some love and check out her books (links below) that are filled with Christian values and clean entertainment.

We all need God's grace, mercy, and forgiveness--daily and in vastly different ways.
Have you done something that continues to plague you or rack your soul with guilt and sorrow?
Are you wrapped up in addiction or do you find yourself tripping up over the same issue again and again?
Or does your mouth get the best of you? Do you say things you regret later?
If not now, there will be a point where you bend the knee to God, your Creator and the Lover of your soul. And He will flood you with mercy and the sweetest degree of forgiveness you may have ever experienced.
This episode discusses the two quick action items to lead you toward forgiveness:
1) Acknowledge your transgression
2) Confess it to God
Taking these two steps from your heart will help you pivot and walk toward sound emotional and spiritual health.
The themed t-shirt for today’s episode is I CHOOSE FORGIVENESS (maybe this means the forgiveness and restoration you are choosing between yourself and God or maybe there is someone else in your life to whom you could extend forgiveness). In either case, choosing to forgive ourselves and others DAILY is a critical mindset -- why not feel empowered today and wear it like you mean it?!

Our words are made up of our thoughts. Thoughts are chemicals and proteins in our brains and they take up space there. Words are the “fruit of your thoughts” (Dr. Caroline Leaf). Based on her book Think, Learn, Succeed we discuss the WORDS MINDSET.
According to Dr. Leaf, negative words release negative chemicals or negative quantum energy in the brain which not only allow your memories to become stronger and stronger but also puts your body into a toxic stress mode.
During this Clubhouse Mastermind, we discuss these topics and more:
- The impact of positive and negative speech on our brains and bodies
- The danger of cognitive dissonance
- The caution we should take with positive affirmations and declarations
- Practicing all 7 Steps in my Signature Process to become transformed in your life and by renewing your mind
- Putting your feelings into words

KEY BIBLE VERSES about the words we speak INCLUDE:
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. (Proverbs 18:21 ESV)
There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (Proverbs 12:18 ESV)
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; (James 1:19 ESV)
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1-2 ESV)

Nobody likes to make mistakes, trip up, fail, or miss a shot. Goofing up once is one thing, but goofing up repeatedly and driving your mind and thoughts into a pretty deep pit is quite another.
Today I share a story about my recent experience at the Bluegrass States Games Pickleball Tournament in Lexington, KY, and the five lessons I learned about having the proper mindset and thought patterns during play.
Before play, we must be physically ready, rested, and well-energized.
During play, we need to:
- Foster an appropriate response to failure
- Be present (not outcome focused)
- Be intentional about each play, each shot
- Breathe to relax
- Have fun!
After play, we need to assess and learn, and then move on.
These same techniques help us in any area of life where we are aiming for success.
- Perhaps you’re launching a new business or stepping in to a new job or position;
- Maybe you’re just about to have a baby, your first one, and you feel clueless--you only know you want to be an A+ kinda mom;
- Perhaps you’ve got this goal in mind, a dream of sorts, that you keep hammering away at, but it seems to elude you.
Whatever obstacles you're facing, the very best place to start is to make sure that you are watching your thought life very carefully. Proverbs 4:23 says: Carefully guard your thoughts because they are the source of true life.
In this episode you’ll hear me share a list of about 7-8 toxic thoughts I kept repeating during tournament play that ultimately impacted my emotions and feelings and negatively affected the outcomes of the game for me.
Plus I share with you portions of what I call my listening journal. If you’d like to have a copy of the prayer, you’ll find the link for the free download in the show notes. Also, the special t-shirt for this episode says MADE TO PERSEVERE. And if you'd like to watch this episode in video, the full-length, unedited video is available on my YouTube channel --Just search and subscribe to Victoria D. Walker.

This Clubhouse Mastermind on Controlled Emotions took a bit of a twist and became more of a discussion about faith. I was just about to close out the room when a young gentleman named Ashish entered.
You may want to go back to listen to Part 1, Episode 091: Your Mind Creates Your Feelings: Practicing Self-Control to Improve Emotional Health to have a better idea of the backdrop to our chat.
He was drawn to the title of the room "The Controlled-Emotions Mindset" because he was personally struggling with handling his emotions.
During our chat he shared a personal and life-altering childhood memory that he felt shaped him and had negatively impacting him to this day.
We talked about:
- the power of the mind and taking thoughts captive,
- the Bible,
- forgiveness,
- our religions and faith
- and even how to pray.
Needless to say, I was not prepared really for this type of discussion, but I did my very best.
I encouraged him to read through Psalm 139 (one of my favs) to begin to unpack just how much God loves him and has a great plan for him.
I wish I had thought about the passage where Jesus's disciples asked Him how to pray (Matthew 6) - this would have been such a simple answer to Ashish's question on prayer.
I would truly love to know your thoughts on this really important episode of the show - perhaps my most important to date! Please email me at choose2think@gmail.com with your feedback!
The podcast has now been heard in 35 countries. I feel so humbled so often to think that maybe this tiny little show, broadcast out of Midway, Kentucky, could impact the lives of others so far away. May God alone be glorified.

Are you in the bad habit of faking how you really feel inside? Do you often feel one way, but pretend to feel another way? Or do you have a hard time expressing your emotions in healthy and positive ways, especially those sticky, difficult-to-manage ones like:
anger
fear
sadness
frustration
anxiety
embarrassment
shame
unforgiveness
self-doubt
rejection
Are you longing for freedom, authenticity, transparency, and intimacy in your relationships, but you don't know where to start?

Psalm 133 speaks of the sweetness and pleasantness of unity among brothers--and offers us two striking metaphors for this unity: oil and dew. In today's episode we chat about Moses and Aaron (real-life brothers) as well as unity amidst diversity in our 21st century world.
We conclude with the reminder that God made unity possible through the giving of His One and Only Son. The call is for us to consider our own relationships and to get rid of any toxic thoughts that may be causing division.

Today's show walks us through the importance of fostering an expectancy mindset as well as how to practice it daily with practical examples. This mindset will help you avoid overwhelm, fear, and distress.

What personal stories of victory do you have?
In what areas of your life have you been an overcomer?
Have you beaten a really bad habit once and for all?
Have you won recently at a sports event? Or maybe received a special certificate of achievement?
Did you set a goal and achieve it?
Are you a dream chaser, not letting go, not giving up on something that you know is a good idea?
I might venture to say that every HERO made the win first in his or her mind. You and I can do the same!

My guest today shares his incredible life story as an inspiration to help you live the unlimited life God has for you, to see that difficulties are an investment for more fulfilment in the long term.
How to work through hardships and trials:
1. Don’t give up

3. Focus on what you do have, not what you don’t
4. Take little steps in the right direction
5. Avoid self-pity at all costs
6. Know and trust that God is always working
7. Step back and rest when you need to
8. Be “available” for God to work - seek Him first, then wait
9. Remember you don’t have to know how because you know the “Who”
**10. Allow gratitude to comfort you and lead you in a healthier emotional direction

How to let go....finally let go of past hurts and offenses
- acknowledge your pain and the injustice done but learn to re-conceptualize
- pray through it
- choose to forgive
- talk it out with an accountability partner, a trusted friend or coach
- remember how much you have been forgiven; God's love is extended to all His children
- soften the issue with grace as you wonder what "tools" the one who hurts you has in their "emotional tool belt"
- empathize & offer a gentle answer to turn away their frustration
- forgive yourself so you can better forgive others
- set appropriate boundaries (make sure you're behaving in ways that are aligned with your values and abilities--not being pressured--it's okay to say no)
- release the weight once and for all; let someone off the hook to find freedom
- grow through the experience--ask God what you can learn, where your heart needs healing work
- learn to use your voice to respond appropriately

What is your dream? Your calling and purpose? Is there a dream inside you that’s been dormant for a while? What is it that you’ve always wanted to do, but have been a bit afraid to actually start. Do you want to launch a business or a ministry? Write a book? Create an online community? Sell your hand stitched designs or the jewelry you’ve been crafting? Wanna Start your baking company?
As someone who pivoted a few years ago and is now trying to transition from full time teaching to full time podcasting, coaching, and writing….yes, it is hard. Yes, it is scary. Yes, sometimes I feel unworthy or not qualified - but I have learned to use my thoughts to change my brain. God planted this dream in my heart - and I’m gonna go with what He says about it.
There is a LOT I don’t know about business, but I do know the WHO behind my dream, and I am committed to show up and be consistent, to provide value, inspiration and encouragement to you my listener.

There are mornings when my prayer is so simple. God, please help me today. I need you. And then I’m off and running. And this is fine - we don’t want to be legalistic or burdensome when it comes to the spiritual discipline of prayer. We want to foster the mindset that prayer is a privilege not a must do. That we GET to pray, not that we have to pray.
WHO should pray? Anyone and Everyone. God is your creator. He designed you to seek. He created a hole in your heart and soul that will never, ever be satisfied unless filled with Him and His truth. He built you with a mission, a purpose here on earth. He created you uniquely with gifts and talents to be exercised to help and serve others. If you don’t know God, if you long to believe but are doubtful that Jesus Christ died on a cross to atone for your sins, guilt and shame, to offer you eternal life and to give you a fresh start, you only need to call out to Him and tell Him. He is available 24/7. He’s listening and waiting for you to pray.
WHAT should we pray? Any thing and everything. There is no topic off limits!
WHEN should we pray? Any time and all the time. David models in Psalm 5 that his prayers went up each morning. But if you’re like I am you’re kinda in constant dialogue with God all day long. Maybe evening time is your favorite time to pray.
WHERE should we pray? Anywhere and everywhere. Some folks enjoy having a prayer room or a prayer closet, that cozy place to commune with the Lord. Truly every place is the best place to pray. We can pray when we’re trapped in bondage and in prison or when we’re walking in the light, yoked to Christ.
HOW should we pray? And this is where it gets interesting. We can order our prayers in the 5 Ps. Not only will we refresh our prayer methods, but we can also gain clarity of thought and mind in the process.
- Praise
- Petition
- Plead

LaurieAnn Campbell, award winning author, blogger, and podcaster shares her journey to overcoming her 30-year battle with bulimia nervosa. According to research from Current Psychiatry Reports Eating disorders, which include bulimia, anorexia, binge-eating, are the most lethal mental health conditions. The Eating Disorders Coalition reports that every 62 minutes, at least one person loses their life as a direct result of an eating disorder.
I snagged both of these resources from Amen Clinics where 160,000 brains have been scanned on patients in 150 countries. As a preliminary side note to today's episode, Dr. Amen writes this on his blog in an article entitled "What 'The Crown' Got Wrong about Princess Diana and Eating Disorders":
"Based on the brain SPECT imaging work at Amen Clinics——people with eating disorders tend to have abnormal activity in certain areas of the brain. Typical SPECT findings in eating disorders include overactivity in the anterior cingulate gyrus (associated with getting stuck on thoughts and behaviors) and basal ganglia (the brain’s anxiety centers), and issues in the parietal lobe (involved in sensory processing and direction sense and often seen in people with body dysmorphic disorder). Healing the brain with a targeted treatment plan is an essential part of the recovery process."
As regular listeners know, the Choose 2 Think Podcast we focus a lot on the BRAIN and nueroplasticity. LaurieAnn emphasizes the importance of accepting the past and moving and looking forward in life. She encourages those who suffer disordered eating, food fixation, restrictive eating, etc., to face their emotions and feelings instead of run from them, to accept the past and live in the moment. We also chat about toxic vocabulary that keeps those who feel stuck in harmful habits. Recovered now for ten years, LaurieAnn's mission is to help others, primarily midlife women, to find that peace. The unconditional love of her sister as well as her faith have proved pivotal aspects of her recovery journey. You can find LaurieAnn's books, podcast, coaching and social media links IAMTHATGAL.COM.

Your brain and mine are plastic or moldable, and if this isn’t the best news ever I’m not sure what is! Those negative, toxic thoughts and mindsets that seem to be hard wired into our brains circuitry can actually be deenergized and disassembled and then rewired with God’s Truth.
Truth leads us toward optimal emotional health and wholeness.
What you think matters A TON and if you’re not behaving in a godly fashion or if you find yourself stuck in otherwise toxic emotions, there is hope BECAUSE you can control what you think! And you can establish the habit of taking thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10: 3-5) and you can become transformed by the renewing of your mind (Rom. 12:2).
With God’s help and time or repetition, you may just stand amazed at how far you can go simply by choosing to think!
Today, we’ll talk about 6 ways and practical tips to store God’s Word in your heart. Then we’ll talk about how to establishing life-changing habits to help you become the person you most want to be!
Inspired excerpts from Session 5 of the Fired Up Mind Challenge!

This episode offers excerpts from Session 4 of the Fired Up Mind Challenge where we go deep to examine the spiritual and emotional roots that may be producing unhealthy behavior in our lives. Isn't it time to start living your best thought life? :)
STEPS to get to the roots:
1) Examine the "fruit" you are bearing in your life so you can identify the root
2) Examine your thoughts and self talk to reverse engineer and find the roots
NOTE: Often, bad roots are created when we need comfort...where do you go for comfort?
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23, NASB

Janelle Banks and I chat about the loss of her con-joined twin sons, Josiah and Josias in 2015. We start by talking about being moms, podcasting, and how it is to work with her husband. Then we move into the more intimate subject of her experience with her conjoined twin boys.
What gripped my heart during this interview was Janelle's awe-inspiring trust in God and her strong faith and acceptance of His ways, even when faced with losing her babies.
Janelle Banks, a former Public School Special Education Teacher and now a Homeschool Mom/Teacher and Homemaker, is wife to Joseph Banks, Jr. and mother of 5 children. She and Joseph host A Love Worth Dying For Podcast, a marriage and family podcast supporting a Biblical worldview. Janelle enjoys spending time with her family and friends and serving in the children's and women's ministries at church.

What a wonderful lesson about our emotions and mood foods. We start the session* defining what emotions really are and what causes them. We later dive into the brain / gut connection and those foods that affect our thinking, emotions and our moods. And if you listen til the end you’ll hear a few of the participants share their takeaways from this information packed session.
Kelly mentions something so important about the fear of expressing our emotions or freezing especially when it is with folks we know and love.
Later April shares such a great life example of a pesky issue she was dealing with – you are sure to relate to her story of the battle between doing and saying what we want to do vs. doing and saying what we don’t want to say and do.
And Julie brings to the discussion an excellent point about how to handle those troubling but REAL life scenarios and events that happen in our lives that happen to be negatively charged.

Discussing the sensitive topic of suicide can be quite sticky at times because it is emotionally charged. Today's guest Stephen Johnson, a licensed social worker who has been in practice for decades, reduces the charge on this issue by addressing it in a loving and God-honoring fashion.
I basically had only 2 questions for him:
1) Why would someone choose to take their own life?
2) What can the survivors (family members, friends, the community) do to deal with their grief and any guilt they may be feeling?
Stephen's counsel drips with wisdom and concern. In only a few moments of listening, you will notice his sincere desire to help those who are struggling from their own loss of a loved one or who are currently feeling discouraged and hopeless in their lives.
The practical tips that he gives may be just what you or someone else needs to put into play today to turn the corner and walk in a new, life-giving and healthy direction.

"You can give without loving. But you cannot love without giving." — Amy Carmichael, missionary to India
Today you'll hear from Grace Julius Ssembatya, Editor of UnWoke Magazine and Director and Evangelist with Grassroots Ministry in Mukono District of Uganda in Africa.
Grace will share the heartbeat of his mission: to not only take the "Good News" to those who would be blessed by it....but to start by lending a helping hand with the practicals first, such as food and clothing.
A quote on the Grassroots Ministrywebsite is from Bono: "God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them."
Grace will inspire you to love, to go, and to give. Please reach out to Grace, share this episode, and help us to get the Good News out to a world that desperately needs to hear the Truth.

Today’s guest is Adam Reid who is currently Amazon’s #1 best selling author for new releases in adult Christian ministry with his book called LOVE IS REAL Let me read a few excerpts from the press release:
“Love is Real” peels back the mask that allows depression and anxiety to silently grow beneath.
Adam Reid has deep roots across Kentucky from his hometown, Clay County, to where he now lives in Midway. He has spent the last seventeen years studying biology while getting his Masters from the University of Kentucky and teaching at Madison Central High School for a decade. Adam battled mental health issues in silence for thirteen years. In Love is Real, he shares the scientifically supported methods to fight the real enemy: shame.
You don’t willpower your way through cancer. Your work ethic doesn’t allow you to overcome a heart attack. You don’t refuse to take your diabetic insulin because your faith is enough for you to be healed. Similarly, your willpower and grit won’t overcome mental health struggles. Your mental health is not a sign of personal failure or a mark against your belief in God’s influence over your life. Just because you cannot see anxiety or depression doesn’t make their biological causes any less real.
A few key words and phrases to give you a taste of what we discuss include the following:
- wearing a "mask"
- earning salvation
- obsessed with productivity
- finding love
- self-punishment
- over achievement
- good deeds
- workaholism
- alcoholism
- depression
- anxiety
- shame
- worthiness
- avoidance
- negative thinking
- vulnerability

The new year for many folks marks new beginnings. We set goals. We dream. We make resolutions.
There is one thing, however, that all goals, dreams, and resolutions must have in order to succeed: A solid foundation.
Think of the foundation for your home or apartment building. It's probably not visible to your naked eye, but you'd guess it's made of something sturdy like concrete or rock.
Foundations basically serve 3 overarching purposes that you probably already know (and I also think you will start seeing the spiritual analogies here!). Foundations are designed to
1) bear a load
2) protect from external elements (water, wind, high and low temperatures, etc.)
3) resist movement of earth around it
Any endeavor you approach, any goal or dream you're hoping to achieve needs the proper foundation to come to fruition. Our life's pursuits are based on our purpose--and when we tap into our purpose as Bible-believing contributors to a world that needs to hear the Good News, well, we're off to a really good start!
Tune in today to remind yourself that God is all the energy you need, His Word is the Truth, and His Son the foundation to help you live out your wildest dreams!

This conversation with renown and award winning Christian author Rhonda Dragomir cuts right to the heart of the matter.
Rhonda Dragomir is a contributor to Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies, she is co-author of curriculum for the Women’s Impact Network, and if this isn’t enough, she was named the 2019 writer of the Year from Serious Writer, Inc. She and her husband live in Wilmore KY. With personal insight and humor, Rhonda invites her readers to consider a central truth: you are welcomed to the arms of a forgiving God who wants to shower you with His boundless love.
Today we take a deep dive into a concept Rhonda has coined as the ORPHAN HEART. She will walk us through fear, rejection, perfectionism, futility, unworthiness and ultimately how to live like an heir to the King, enjoying the inheritance of peace and joy as God promises His children. Now I know all of this sounds a bit fluffy. So keep listening as we unpack the Orphan Heart – ask yourself as we go if you have any of the symptoms Rhonda describes. What’s more, Rhonda shares so many stories from her life that help all of this to make sense in practical applications. If 2020 gave you a run for your money in the spiritual and emotional departments, this episode may be just what you need to set things straight once and for all.

On today's episode, Health & Wellness Accountability Coach Wendy Parmley shares her journey of both physical and emotional "weight loss." Physically she has lost around 100 pounds to date and has about that much more to go. She came to realize that her journey had more to do with falling more in love with Christ than it did the numbers on the scales.
Our topics include:
- food fixation, addiction & weight restriction
- hypocrisy and self-lying
- the dangers of justification and making excuses
- the importance of inner dialogue and the pitfalls from words such as "can't" and "only"
- the role of the church with these issues
Wendy is a Health & Wellness Accountability Coach. Connect with her on her Facebook group and YouTube. She also has a ROPES CHALLENGE you might consider joining. Be sure to share this link with a friend or family member who struggles with any type of food addiction.

In the "game" of 21st century life, we gotta be on guard to follow the rules that God has given us in His Word and by the example of Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit whose job is to convict us and guide us into all truth. But just how do we do that?
It all starts with our thinking! Tune in for practical tips on taking thoughts captive early in the game! And the benefits of "winning" are off the charts!

In the OT, birth names not only obviously identified someone – but the names exposed character of individuals, represented their identity, and often pointed toward some special meaning. Have you ever researched what your name actually means? It’s fun! And what about all the names of GOD?
I had so much fun in this episode reviewing 16 most popular names of God and studying them again using the online Blue Letter Bible as my resource!
Why are these names so important to us as Christians?
- They personalize our God.
- We are in relationship with Him. We desire to know him better each and every day!
- When we hallow or revere the name of God – we are showing Him such devotion, admiration, dedication, and love.
It is heart warming and mind grabbing to meditate on who God is, His character and His identity.
Join me today for a refresher on Who God Is.

What keeps you up at night?
- Worries about your family members?
- Your finances?
- Your health?
- Our country?
- Fear
- too much caffeine or a big meal closer to bedtime

Sleep is essential for optimal health and we spend about 1/3 of our lives doing it!
But these days anxiety levels are high and finding sufficient rest can be a bit of a challenge. This episode is mostly common knowledge (you know google-able)…you’ve heard most your life…but I wanted to pull all the info together, condense it, and to remind you that as Christians, sound sleep IS possible. So kick off your shoes and fluff up your pillow. Let’s take a deep dive into the notion of how to experience peaceful nightly sleep. And all this with the backdrop of Psalm 3!

Do you ever feel a bit battle weary from wrestling around with toxic or potentially toxic thinking?
Well, in today’s episode, I’ll offers you a 6-fold battle tactic plan especially if you are feeling a bit battle weary. We’re gonna see how King David kept his mind in the right place as he actually battled for his very life. His expectations and hope were in God alone.
The 6 tactics include:
- examination - we enter the battle with clean hands and hearts
- identification - we declare God's characteristics and traits
- expectation - we shift to the expectancy mindset to claim each victory
- recognition - we acknowledge that we need God's help as we battle
- devastation - we utterly destroy the lies of the enemy of our souls
- adoration - we give thanks to God, our Battle King

it’s just that time of year in Kentucky when we go hiking and camping! The nights are cooler and not so stuffy and the fireside is inviting to chase away the chill. We have a trip planned out to Red River Gorge within the next couple of weeks, and I cannot wait.
My favorite part is disconnecting from the world, reconnecting and being present with those I love the most in this life, putting my phone away, letting the dust from all my busy-ness settle down a bit, and slowing down to think and reorient a bit and relax. All the oxygen fills my lungs, God’s beautiful creation captivates my attention and the stress just rolls away. My heart fills up to full again – camping is right up there with a stroll on the ocean beach to me.
Camping has also been a way to bench mark a whole lot of memories, some really frightful like using a gallon of gasoline in a milk jug to attempt to ignite wet wood that was smoldering a bit – yeah, the flames leaped up onto the rim of the gallon jug—it is nothing short of a miracle that our camp site didn’t go up in flames taking with it the camper holding the jug – that is about my worst memory…but there are others to keep me in stitches years later—like the time a bear came sniffing around our tent that one night-- I just know it was a bear! C'mon, camper! I know you can totally relate! :)
Journey with me today to connect the dots between the essentials we need hiking literally and spiritually(as inspired by David's Psalm 25)! I found so many great practical applications for our faith:
ESSENTIALS for our journey:
- GUIDE
- PROVISIONS
- PROTECTION
- TOOLS

Our message for today is about experiencing the presence and glory of God.
From Psalm 24, I pulled 3 exercises we can do daily as examples to help us connect the dots between the philosophical and the practical when it comes to seeking God's presence.
How to enjoy God's presence:
1) we open
2) we learn
3) we grow
Tune in for all the specifics, a few helpful ideas on how to practically become energized as you seek God, His presence, His face, His favor.

Cheri Scott is the Executive Director for Avenues for Women -- a pregnancy center in Frankfort KY offering 100% free counseling and medical services for their clients. Not only does Avenues for Women advocate for the sanctity of human life in the womb, they also advocate for the sanctity of the life of the woman, young or old, who walks through their doors, takes a seat in their office, and is carrying that tiny life within her.
One of my favorite lines from the show was when Cheri said – when folks ask her if the organization is pro life or pro choice, her response is we are pro woman. I liked this line because to me it puts compassion, care, and love first with the steadfast and prevailing prayer that this kind of love will in part be the catalyst that leads the woman or the couple to a god-honoring decision.
But if it doesn’t, the relationship between the woman and AFW remains and there is still opportunity for future change, God willing. The heart of the ministry is to educate in a holistic supportive fashion in a nonjudgmental way and lend a helping hand practically and emotionally before, during, and after decisions are made.

The 15th most popular psalm is Psalm 31 – and in a nutshell it is a song of complaint and praise (as subtitled in the NASB).
As we examine the psalm we can study the way that David did this and then apply this technique to our lives. David historically was persecuted by Saul. He was treated wrongly, shamed by his enemies, was slandered – all of which had the potential to steal his joy and peace. But he had this unique expressive technique in his writing time and time again where he switched his complaint to praise.
He almost always ends all his psalms reaffirming God’s character and amazing goodness. It sounds simple, but it requires persistence and endurance.
In this episode, I share a story or two of personal quote “victimization” from theft – and persecution, if you will, from the enemy of my soul.

Part 3 ENGAGE! Let's gooo.
So this is where the rubber meets the road. Where our faith and our actions work side by side or at least they’re in the same ballpark!
Given that we are examining our hearts often and attempting to become better informed about the issues surrounding racism, are there things we can actually DO?
Yep…and in my journey, I’ve made a Sweet 16 list of can-do action items that I’m hoping to implement in my quest to engage. Remember to snag your PDF where you can follow along and take notes about these practical application items.
Why do we engage? Because LOVE is a VERB! And because others might see our good deeds and glorify the Father!
There are a whole lot of “other-isms” listed it the Bible. Let me give you a few paraphrased:
- We love one another because we were first loved.
- We’re to be kind and tenderhearted and forgiving because we have been forgiven.
- We treat others the way we would like to be treated.
- If we love God, we must certainly love our neighbors.
- We’re to look to the interest of our neighbors.
- We’re also to live peaceably with everyone.
- Everything we do should be done in love.
So I asked myself: How can I engage myself, my family, my community, my culture for GOOD and for GOD? Listen and be sure to get your free PDF study guide now.

In today’s episode, we’ll take a look behind the scenes of a fully recovered, former alcoholic. Pastor Helen Musick of LexCity Church opens her heart for us as she shares her candid experience with overcoming addiction. If you’ve ever been caught in the head winds of addiction…anything from pornography, alcohol, other drugs, food, gambling, approval, shopping, you name it …this encouraging message may offer you a fresh line of hope as you are in perhaps the battle of your lifetime.
And if this message is not for you directly, I’m quite certain you know someone in your circles who would really benefit from this word. Please, please share the episode link with your loved ones and friends.
Helen and I pull apart the mental anatomy of addiction – that is the impact of the thoughts and attitudes we may have regarding the addiction and the subsequent harmful or helpful behavior these thoughts and mindsets may provoke.
This is a message of surrender and victory all in one. It's about:
- The Power of "we"
- God's goodness
- a Grace Awakening
- the blessing of confessing
- walking in obedience one day at a time
- hitting the high bottom of addiction
- refusing to bow the knee to an idol
- the invaluable cost of choosing peace and obedience
- the pain and anguish of saying "no more"
- rewiring the brain
- developing stronger muscles

Here on the C2T podcast we are going to take a look at racism using a 3-pronged approach: examine, educate, and engage.
I’m inviting you to take a sneak peak into my own personal journey, to let you know how I’m attempting to find the meeting ground between my civic responsibility and my Christian worldview and duties. Please Know that I’m trying, I’m learning, and I’m willing to take the risk to invite you into this process.
We will start with definitions to set the stage and then move into Step 1 Examine. This step involves both internal reflection and the investigation of those external influences that likely shaped your thoughts and beliefs regarding race, etc.
Remember to snag your free PDF of the word list and question list from today's Step 1: Examine: (copy/paste) https://mailchi.mp/693af796b6d2/our-souls-have-no-color-examine-educate-engage-worksheet

Today we’re gonna take a deep dive into the whole notion of self-pity (the great pseudo-comforter).
Man, self-pity’s like an old friend to me. He comes knocking at my door fairly often. If I’m wise, I put in the earplugs and resist listening to him. Or better, I tell him to get the heck off my property. What does self-pity have in his arsenal? Well, for one, he’s got this uncanny way of comforting me.
Stay tuned to hear 4 lessons learned after dipping down into self-pity. There is a better way to confront this formidable foe that wreaks havoc on our emotional well being.

Did you know that journaling has become big bucks lately? There are journals for just about everything nowadays! We have beautifully colored journals for faith, gratitude, joy, prayers, blessings, our list of to-do items, reflections, meditations, Scripture, food, memories, creative writing, poetry, music. You may even keep a visual journal with your artwork, sketches, paintings. Perhaps you keep an audio journal where you dictate and record your voice because the thought of picking up a pen smacks of drudgery to you.
The good news is there is no language teacher looking over your shoulder, correcting your spelling or telling you to draw within the lines. Our journals can be authentic, raw, transparent.
What’s the big hoorah? Well science is telling us that journaling has been proven to reduce stress, increase immune function, keep your memory sharp, boost your mood, and strengthen your overall emotional health.
And how long should you write to enjoy these benefits? Research tells us only about 15-20 minutes a day will work wonders on our minds and bodies, but even one entry a week packs a significant punch on our emotional, spiritual, and physical health!
Tune in for some heavy duty validation on why journaling will help you in your spiritual journey!

In today’s episode, you will have the pleasure of meeting Cory Cooley of Cooltucky Creative, Woodford Charm, Woodford Trail, and Woodford to Go (and by the way, this is just the start of Cory’s resume!). He wears many hats and aims to promote local business owners as well as many of the exciting adventures, destinations, local attractions, restaurants and so much more right here under our noses in beautiful Woodford County, Ky.
What strikes me about all of these professions and endeavors is that serving others and helping people is the central aim. Cory doesn’t cower back from his creative pursuits and natural gifting. He has what it takes to get things done – I really learned a lot from him, and I think you can, too.

For today’s episode, we’re going to look at one verse from Psalm 35, subtitled in the NASB “Prayer for Rescue from Enemies” and written by David.
One verse about bones really caught my attention. In my research I discovered that bones mean strength in general. Spiritually speaking, it’s the kind of scaffolding strength that supports who we are at the deepest part of our being. What are your “bones” telling you? What is it that you know at the deepest part of your soul? If you know that God is your deliverer, your refuge, your rescuer, how does that impact how you live each day?

Covid-19 has really shaken us up and caused us to come face-to-face with a reality that many of us are not fond of. Not only must we deal with the economic crisis which directly affects so many of us personally, but we must also confront the emotional fall out this pandemic has caused.
We’ve all felt sad, depressed, distressed, and anxious. In a nutshell we are grieving. The type of grief we are experiencing may have little to do with loss of life. How do we handle this type of grief?
It's oh so helpful to know...."It's just a moment."
Mary Anna Rogers is the only certified grief recovery specialist in Kentucky who organizes group sessions twice a year using the Grief Recovery Method. These face-to-face classes help participants process their grief in healthy ways.
I had the privilege to chat with her recently about how to deal with grief and guilt that many of us are undergoing as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
She and I go back a couple of decades when our paths crossed as home educators. She taught drama to scores of homeschooled children and directed quite a few plays with our homeschooling co-ops. She’s fondly known as Miss Mimi.
Mary Anna’s family owns Rogers Funeral Home in Frankfort, Ky. The funeral home is listed as the second oldest private business in Ky, and the oldest business that has remained owned and operated by the same family. Now in their 7th generation, they continue to serve families with "dignity, compassion, and respect."
It was nearly eight years ago that Mary Anna’s husband John passed away, which no doubt only kindled her desire to share what she learned about grief with others who are hurting and also motivated her to pursue specialist certification with the Grief Recovery Institute.

Recently I interviewed the shining star Elizabeth Jones from Sweet Paradise Baking Company in Nicholasville, KY. Two years ago, Elizabeth launched her biz and hasn’t looked back! What fascinated me most about this interview was Elizabeth’s poise, sincerity, humility, work ethic, family and parenting values and her attitudes of productivity and gratitude. She comes from a long line of entrepreneurs in her family, a tag line she considers to be a huge generational blessing.
You need to know that her cookies are baked fresh the day she delivers and she uses only the finest ingredients. Her cookies are deliciously huge! Trust me! I’ve tasted Sweet Paradise Baking Company cookies and they are undeniably worth their weight in gold!
Elizabeth ships out of state via Fed Ex, has a cookie of the month, and her clients range from new and repeat customers, friends and family to larger businesses and special event organizers.
Placing an order couldn’t be easier! Click on the links below for more info.
Our chat was oh so much more than cookies. I think you’ll walk away jazzed not only about how Elizabeth does business, but how she does life. And it couldn’t be sweeter!

Before I read the longest psalm and chapter in the entire Bible, you may find it interesting to know that this psalm is a bit odd. It’s divided into 22 stanzas representing the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In the NASB it’s subtitled as "Meditations and Prayers Relating to the Law of God." Almost every verse says something about God’s Word, common synonyms would be statutes, law, commandments, precepts, ordinances.
Also used frequently are the words revive, heart, love, delight.
You’ll hear me try to pronounce the Hebrew letter of the alphabet that preludes each stanza. The written Hebrew alphabet is fascinating to me! I enjoy studying the connections between the ancient pictographic Hebrew and the paleo-Hebrew symbol. It's a lot of fun, and I'll give you a mini-Hebrew lesson in this episode!!
Also, I would love to know how you might answer these questions:
1) How is God’s Word a lamp to your feet and a light to your path? Specifically, how do you apply God’s Word to your life in practical ways?
2) How is it good to be afflicted?
3) Is God your portion? In what ways? What does this mean?
4) How do we connect Jesus with this beautiful psalm?
Email me your answers! :) I would LOVE to hear from you!

This episode is dedicated directly to the believer who has received God’s saving grace BUT who still struggles with the baggage and weight of shame. Perhaps you’d call yourself a prodigal where you went off track, God helped you back, but the disgrace and dishonor of your actions still haunt you. Maybe even now you are trapped in the mire of addiction and the boat load of shame that creates a toxic cycle of goof ups.
Hearing that word “shame” may conjure up an avalanche of memories, lies you’ve believed or still believe. Maybe you hear the enemy knocking at the door of your mind and heart accusing you for your missteps. Or maybe you’re your own worst enemy, saying things to your soul that do not come from God. Maybe the world, especially other Christians, remind you of your failures. Ouch.
This is the voice of shame. And we’re gonna face off with shame all right! Are you ready?
In this episode, I’ll tell you a story about my friend Sally. A while back she and I met to catch up at an outdoor café in Lexington. As we were sipping on iced tea she shared with me this huge skeleton in her closet that put a lump in my throat the size of Jumbo the elephant. Man, I watched the tears just roll down her face. Her eyes were racked with such pain and turmoil. And in her voice I heard the hatred that she was feeling for herself. It broke my heart.
I'll also share my 4-step process to kick shame out of your closet forever!

UPDATE: This interview was conducted weeks ago. I contacted Ken Glass for any comment on COVID-19 and he said that RR Drug "is here to take care of people when they need us!" RR Drug also delivers meds right to your doorstep.
_________________________
When you walk into RR Drug, it’s like walking into your grandma’s house. There are racks of candy, a fridge full of cold drinks, and ice cream! The atmosphere drips with nostalgia and warm vibes from the black and white checkered floor and red topped stools at the counter to the ancient and might I say giant apothecary records book on display in the back. Ken and his wife Amanda have created an ambiance that both welcomes and serves. It’s a delicious mix of past and present. You may just walk out the door thinking you are the most important person in the world by the way you are treated. It is truly health CARE at its finest.
The interview was conducted live in the store during business hours, so occasionally you may hear Ken greet a customer or two. You might just hear the phone ringing, someone being served at the soda fountain up front or the faint whistle of the train as it chugs down Main Street. I loved everything about this interview. It’s been both the hardest and easiest to conduct! Easy, well, because it’s Ken. Hard because he shared so much awesomeness I had no idea what to cut.

Let’s talk corona-virus.

3) by serving others in gratitude
4) by prayer

This is the concluding part 3 of our study on beauty. You’ll remember in part 1 we discovered just how intricately and intentionally we were formed in our mother’s womb as echoed in David’s beautiful song lyrics from Psalm 139. God is ever present and ever knowing and this offers us much comfort in our journey. In Part 2, we explored beauty in the physical sense and we learned that there are a few god-endorsed action items that we can do that can literally change our physical image and impression. Today we’re going deep to the very bones of who we are so to speak! We’ll discover what it means to outwardly display our inner beauty. This is an echo of last week, but a bit more focused. I offered 3 outer beauty tips and this week we’ll go for 3 inner beauty tips. And my lands! When you’ve got your outer beauty turned on and your inner beauty blaring, well, you will be sizzling! one hot mama or papa, I’d say!

This episode is called Beauty and Her Beast because the quest for beauty and perfecting the outward appearance has generated quite the beast, if you will. Today we’re gonna face off with that beast. You might remember that our series on beauty started last week as we jumped into Psalm 139 and took a look at the time period in his life when David penned this lovely psalm. We recognized God’s omniscience and omnipresence and were called to action to really examine our thoughts about God and about what He says about us. Let’s go a bit deeper and snapshot societal and trending views on beauty. Is it accurate to say that most folks have struggled or do struggle to some degree with their body image? And finally, is there anything we can do to become more physically attractive?

Few folks really believe just how beautiful they are. I think it's safe to say that we all may find ourselves chasing beauty from time to time. In Part 1 of this series on beauty, we will explore the historical backdrop to Psalm 139 and zoom out to see how the magnificent words of this song impact us today. I'll leave you with a charge to examine your thoughts and beliefs about yourself, how you were created, as well as your beliefs about God.

In today’s episode, we’ll shine a little light on the local entrepreneur Annette Grahl of the lovely, historical Scottwood Bed and Breakfast in Woodford County, Kentucky. I loved chatting with her. Grab a tall glass of sweet tea and meander alongside us as we chat about what it’s like to own a B&B, the importance of community, and how to foster gratitude despite life’s setbacks such as loss of job and difficult physical hindrances such as a stroke. Please support our local Kentucky artisans and small business owners. They're an integral part of what makes Kentucky a great place to live and visit!

This is the last episode in our series on rejection where we discover that the only thing we must do to overcome the toxicity that rejection leaves in its wake is to CHOOSE TO THINK. In Part 1, we were challenged to identify those times that we have been hurt, shunned, rejected and to double check to see if we were harboring a bitter root of rejection. In Part 2, we learned how the life of Christ, His example, can melt our hearts and give us a really good reason to desire to forgive those who have wronged us. We looked at the issue of exactly where we go to find comfort and where we ought to go if we want lasting healing. Here in Part 3, we unpack a few toxic thoughts and learn how to replace them with Truth Leads instead. Answer the question, friend: Do you want to be healed?

Let's dig a bit deeper into the topic of rejection and that root of bitterness that make be lodged in our hearts. In Part 1, we were challenged to identify those times that we have been hurt, shunned, rejected and to double check to see if we were harboring a bitter root of rejection. Here in Part 2, we will learn how the life of Christ, His example, can melt our hearts and give us a really good reason to desire to forgive those who have wronged us.

*This interview was my first guest interview ever. I was ever so sad to learn of Tony's passing in August of 2020 after a tragic accident. May he rest in peace.
_____________________________________________________
Bend your ear to hear a bit from Tony Davis--entrepreneur, handcrafter, proud US marine veteran, and the owner of Kentucky Knows Bourbon Barrel Coffee and Handcrafted Gifts Shop in Frankfort, Ky.
In this episode, he shares a bit of advice on being an entrepreneur and the importance of gratitude.
You can sign up to receive a newsletter from Tony at https://www.kentuckyknows.com/ On his website you can view several videos about the history of his business, purchase coffee as well as a myriad of handmade barrel crafts. What was Tony's first craft? He writes: "Food represents family, home cooked meals, and community. That's when I came up with my first craft; the cutting board. And that's where it all started." Don't you love that?! Tony's website is absolutely fascinating! I found myself lost in time, lost in thought, and really educated in the meantime. Please drop by to see Tony in downtown Frankfort. Order a cup of coffee and tell him Victoria sent you!

Yeah. We've all wondered why from time to time.
Tune in to Part 2 of the Psalm 121 reflection to hear a personal story and application of how to trust God no matter our earthly plight. Life is hard, but we are not alone in the journey.

One of the secrets to lasting happiness and joy is harvesting the ability you have to CHOOSE. You can choose what to think about which in turn will affect your emotions and your actions. Listen to the story of Linda and how when she turned 89, she decided to bake her own birthday cake--just a small example of how she lived her tragic-ridden life with peace, joy, and determination to show the world her love for her Creator.
Also, here's a little gift for you to say THANK YOU!!!! After you rate this podcast, write a review, and share the link on social media, skip on over to my website. There you will find that scrumptious black walnut cake recipe that Linda made. It would mean the world to me to share this with you! The black walnut cake has become the symbol for perseverance and God's faithfulness in my family. And you MUST use black walnuts - don't compromise! :)
You might even consider making this cake as a gift of encouragement to someone you know who has lost a loved one or who is struggling with breast cancer. The day that my grandmother died, two of my dear friends came knocking on my door with this cake in hand. Needless to say, I was overcome with gratitude and love.
