11. Guard Your Mind: Take Every Thought Captive

If you don't guard your mind, the world will do your thinking for you. Jonathon Ennis explains how renewing the mind in Christ is essential to true health and faithful obedience, and he identifies common mental attacks: noise, fear, distraction, propaganda, and false teaching. The episode gives practical daily disciplines—guard inputs, test every thought, train focus, master reactions, and feed your mind with truth—and a simple 3-step framework: set a morning boundary with scripture or focused reading, examine one dominant thought before bed, and share your progress with others to rewire thinking through steady practice.
