Our brains are three-pound supercomputers, processing up to 70,000 thoughts a day. In a world filled with bad news, economic stress, and constant worry, it’s easy for our thoughts to spiral out of control. Have you ever wished you had tools to rein them in?
Let’s start the year by renewing our minds (Romans 12:2). Using Max Lucado’s book as a guide, we will spend 7-weeks talking about how to Tame Your Thoughts. The good news is that our brains really can be reshaped through Scripture and healthy habits. Anxiety, guilt, shame, and lingering questions don’t have to have the final word. Let’s learn, grow, and practice new ways of thinking—together.
