EP 18 - The Battle for Your Mind

from Equipped to Lead Podcast · host Equipped to Lead Podcast

Most battles in my life do not start where people can see them. They start in my mind.In this episode, I look at 2 Corinthians 10:5 and what it means to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. I talk about how lies, temptation, fear, bitterness, anxiety, pride, and discouragement can take root in our thinking before they ever show up in our actions.This episode is a challenge for us as men to stop living mentally passive and start fighting for a clean, steady, Christ-ruled mind.Listen in and share this episode with another man who needs encouragement in the battle.We would love to hear from you on how this episode has helped or challenged you.
