    It's Mind Change Monday!
    Cancer often starts with one cell mutation. If the body fails to detect and eliminate the mutated cell, then it can grow from that single cell into a disease that can kill us. Thoughts work the same way. In this episode, we discuss the importance of taking our thoughts captive, interpersonal neurobiology and limbic resonance, and a method for you to perform self-brain surgery to prevent these thought cancers from wrecking your life.

    It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!
    You have an incredible gift: you can choose to think about what you think about. The question is, what will you do with that gift?
    In this episode, we learn the self-brain surgery of calming our minds and learning to direct the show of what happens in our thought life. You get this right, and you'll become healthier, feel better, and be happier. If you don't, you'll bounce around from circumstance to circumstance, and they will lead you into a progressively more cynical and negative life. The good news is, it's so easy to learn how to change that program into one that blesses you and others, and leads you to hope.

    Your facial nerve allows you to close your eyes when you need to. And so does hope. Lees meer

    Good morning my friend!

    Today’s dose of hope is a story from my new book, Hope Is the First Dose. Click on the button above to hear the audio version. Paid subscribers can also check your email for a video version of the episode.

    If you don’t like to listen, here’s a link to the PDF transcript you can read. (Note: these transcripts are computer generated and aren’t perfect. I noticed it transcribed Kearney, Nebraska as “Carney,” but it’s pretty close overall).

    In the transcript and the episode, you will learn that the facial nerve allows to make most of your facial expressions, and allows you to close your eyes and smile. Here’ why that’s so important after we face TMT in our lives.

    Here’s a few other doses of hope for you this week!

    * A great reflection on hope from our friend, the wonderful podcaster/blogger Katherine Singer.

    * A terrific post about the threads he saw in the arc of my three-book journey from the Iraq War to Hope from Dr. Jon Swanson.

    * An opportunity to sponsor or spread the word about our friend Kristin Smedley’s powerful children’s book, What I Can Be Is Up to Me.

    * Our friend Tommy Walker has released the epic, orchestral masterpiece he’s been working on for over two years! Spend 7 minutes with Tommy today worshiping with He Is the Lord!

    Movies Mentioned: The Book of John in Song Kids by Tommy Walker Ministries, and Because of Bethlehem

    From Tommy Walker Ministries: The Book of John In Song KIDS project is our first full-length animated adventure. It takes our characters, Teddy and Wendy through different lands, teaching children and adults alike the different aspects of who Jesus is while pausing to sing and worship with songs written from scripture.

    From Max Lucado's Team: Check out the Because of Bethlehem movie in a theater near you December 5-7! Religious-based films are killing it at the box office and Max Lucado’s Because of Bethlehem Event (more here) is primed to be one of the biggest for the rest of the year, especially with the Christmas theme!

    Max, together with some pretty special guests like Matthew West, Matt Maher, CeCe Winans, Anne Wilson and Evan Craft are featured for three nights in the Because of Bethlehem film. It will air on December 5, 6 and 7 as a Fathom Event in movie theaters. As of today, more than 1500 screens have been confirmed nationwide.

    This movie, which is inspired by his bestselling book, Because of Bethlehem: Love is Born, Hope is Here shows how the Bethlehem story with all its fumbles, awkwardness, and longing, illustrates how God is with us in ways we could never imagine!

    Hope and Help for Families in These Stressful Times!
    Join me for a great talk with author Kayla Craig about how to build a life that helps ground your kids in their faith, cement them together as a family centered on Jesus, and build them into people who can withstand the pressures of today's hectic life.
    Lees meer

    About Kayla's new book, Every Season Sacred, from Tyndale:
    What does it look like to live a flourishing, messy, wonderful life together?
    As parents, we’re tasked with nurturing and guiding our children, even as we navigate our own wonderings about faith. In the overwhelm and constant demands of life, is it possible to tend to our own souls and to our family’s flourishing?
    With tender curiosity and contemplative wisdom, Every Season Sacred is a weekly invitation to grow spiritually alongside our children. Blending thoughtful musings and practical resources, author Kayla Craig meets parents right where they are, offering
    honest and hopeful reflections for every season of the parenting journey;
    encouragement to parent with intention and imagination, presence and purpose; and
    open-ended discussion prompts and prayers to explore and practice as a family.
    Every Season Sacred is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together. You don’t have to have all the answers―and if we’re honest, many answers aren’t ours to have. This is the beauty of faith.

    As you parent your children and explore your questions together, may God reveal sacred moments to you―in each season of your life.

    What was the biggest idealogical mindset shift in Western civilization in the past 200 years?

    What cultural credo did we pick up from Shakespeare, and why is it so ironic?

    Today’s Mind Change Monday episode gets into the philosophical underpinnings of modern Western thought, and two lies of the devil that have shaped so many people’s thoughts on happiness:

    Live your truth

    What makes you unhappy is anyone telling you what to do or not to do

    Join me for another incredible conversation with New York Times Bestselling author, Philip Yancey!

    From Amazon:
    OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD!
    Lees meer

    It's the most powerful force in the universe, our only hope for love and forgiveness, and a foretaste of eternal life: amazing, radical, life-changing grace.

    Millions of lives have been changed by award-winning author Philip Yancey's startling exploration of grace at street level. Grace is the one thing the world can't duplicate, the healing force we need, and the key to transforming a broken world.

    In his personal and provocative book, Yancey offers true portraits of grace's life-changing power. These stories, set in the midst of life's stark realities, evoke such questions as:

    If grace is God's love for the undeserving, how do I get it?

    How well are we dispensing grace to a world that knows far more of strife and unforgiveness than it does of mercy?

    Can grace make a difference in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust, and how can it withstand the brutality of hate?

    With powerful stories, rich theology, and practical suggestions, Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately needs to know, What's So Amazing About Grace?
    From Philip:

    What’s So Amazing About Grace? has been in print for over 25 years.

    In that time I have received several thousand letters of response. Mostly, they tell stories. The man who shot John Lennon, now studying the Bible in a New York prison. An Emmy-winning actress working to heal wounds from childhood. The rock band U2, who studied the book together.

    U2’s lead singer, Bono, had the most concise summary: “When you boil it down, the universe runs by either Karma or Grace. I’d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I’m holding out for Grace.”

    Today, we have a special guest! Dr. Michael Guillen, a best-selling author, Emmy award–winning journalist and former physics instructor at Harvard, used to be an Atheist―until science changed his mind. Once of the opinion that people of faith are weak, small-minded folks who just don’t understand science, Dr. Guillen ultimately concluded that not only does science itself depend on faith, but faith is actually the mightiest power in the universe.
    Book mentioned: Let Creation Speak!: 100 Invitations to Awe and Wonder by Dr. Michael Guillen
    From Amazon:
    Is the universe more than just a cosmic accident? Is there more to life than the daily grind? Is it possible you have a divine purpose?
    Yes, yes, and yes. Everything around us is striking evidence that God exists, that he once appeared in human form, spoke to us directly and made us for a specific purpose. Wherever you are in life—whether you’re a person of faith, a skeptic, or something else—this book is an invitation to find and embrace the radiant, resilient, relevant person you were created to be.
    From three-time Emmy Award winner, bestselling author, and former ABC News science editor Dr. Michael Guillen comes a book of fascinating and inspiring daily essays that explore the astonishing scientific facts about the universe in a fresh new way, including these topics:
    -The infinite size of the universe
    -Unusual numbers we see in nature
    -A sperm whale’s super-powerful voice
    -Symbiotic relationships that make coral beds possible
    -The wily, carnivorous Venus flytrap
    -The bird with the longest wingspan—the wandering albatross
    Let Creation Speak! is a 100-day adventure designed to rescue you from the monotony and smallness of everyday life, to change you, radically and permanently. Journey alongside Dr. Guillen, and starting right now let God and his creation speak directly to you!

    One night last year, there was a terrible storm, and I couldn't sleep. After hours of tossing and turning, I remembered a song from Matt Redman called Songs in the Night. One of the lines is, "So when I am in the storm, Lord the storm is not in me."

    Then I remembered Psalm 77, in which Asaph handles anxiety and insomnia by singing... songs in the night!

    Most of the time when I can't sleep, though, it's not because of a storm outside. Usually, it's in my own brain.

    Join me for quiet time this morning and we'll get our minds right for the coming day.

    We finish with prayer and a song from Highlands Worship, Jesus You Alone.

  44. All-In: Fear is a Liar, but Doubt Can be Helpful

    Doubt isn't your enemy. You just have to change your mind about it. Lees meer

    Self-brain surgery tip #8:

    Doubt is not a symptom of faithlessness. It says, “I don’t know,” & is a fork in the road. Fear says, “No.” Faith says, “Yes.” Doubt isn’t weakness; it’s an opportunity to trust in the Yes.

    Scripture:

    Romans 4:18

    It’s a new month, and God wants to do new things in your life. But sometimes, it feels like he’s fallen silent, like he’s not answering our prayers or coming through for us.

    Why?

    Today’s podcast looks into how we can’t expect God to do new things if we refuse to change old things that are holding us back.

    Scripture: Isaiah 43:18-19, Hebrews 12:1-2
