Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.
As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.
All too many of us struggle under the weight of life, convinced we need to work harder to prove to ourselves, to others, and to God that we are good enough, smart enough, and spiritual enough to do the things we believe we should. What if there was a new way?
We can find freedom from self-induced pressure by admitting we’re not enough—but Jesus is.
We can admit our greatest needs and watch them be filled by the only One who can meet them.
We can make it our goal to know and love Jesus, then watch what He does in and through us.
A call to following the Lord's obedience even when the call seems crazy that He is asking you to.
Running the Race that the Lord has called you to and living out of the gifting he has given you.
