How to Take Control of Your Thoughts (2 ...

Madison Prewett Troutt
About this episode

In this episode, Grant dives into 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 and unpacks one of the greatest battles every believer faces: the battle of the mind. Our thoughts shape our emotions, influence our decisions, and ultimately impact the direction of our lives. But not every thought that enters our mind is from God, and Scripture calls us to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that spiritual warfare often begins in our thought life. Grant shares how the enemy often attacks through lies, strongholds, and distorted thinking, and how God's truth gives us the weapons to tear them down. He discusses practical ways to recognize unhealthy thought patterns, renew your mind through Scripture, and walk in the freedom that comes from aligning your thoughts with Christ.

My prayer is that this episode would help you identify the lies you've been believing, replace them with God's truth, and experience the peace and victory that come from taking every thought captive.
