Perfect for growth-minded Christians ready for real, sustainable change. What You’ll Learn: → A clear definition of “bad habit” (and why not all bad habits are sin) → The Habit Loop (cue → craving → routine → reward) and how to interrupt it → Romans 12:2 + 2 Corinthians 10:5: renewing your mind and taking thoughts captive → Why beliefs drive behaviors (belief → thoughts → emotions → actions) → Replacement > removal: swap routines while keeping the same cue/reward → Practical swaps: late-night scrolling, stress-drinking, and more (prayer, worship, journaling, movement) → 3 journal prompts + one identity-based affirmation to start today Want to learn more about Mark Hummel?
