Episode 127: Take the Thought Captive: How to Escape the Spiral of Fear & Worry

<p>Have you ever received one piece of information and, within minutes, your mind has created an entire story about what might happen next?</p><p>That happened to me this week.</p><p>One situation involving someone I love sent my thoughts spiraling into fear and worry, and for one night, it robbed me of sleep. But something I’ve been learning about spiritual warfare brought me straight back to a command in Scripture:</p><p><strong>Take every thought captive.</strong></p><p>Not some thoughts. Every thought.</p><p>In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I stopped letting those thoughts run unchecked and actually put 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 into practice. What started as something I honestly didn’t have time to do became an exercise in freedom that I think I’ll come back to again and again.</p><p>Because sometimes fear takes a possibility and starts treating it like a prophecy.</p><p>And when that happens, we need to know how to fight back with truth.</p><p>If fear, worry, stress or the endless “what ifs” have been taking up too much space in your mind lately, grab your journal and listen to this one. I’m walking you through exactly what I did and how Scripture can help us renew our minds and loosen the grip of the thoughts keeping us stuck.<br></p><p><strong>Scriptures Referenced</strong></p><p>2 Corinthians 10:4–5<br>Philippians 2:10–11<br>Romans 15:13<br>Proverbs 10:18Proverbs 17:17<br>Romans 12:2<br>Romans 12:17–19<br>Psalm 121:2–3<br>Ephesians 6:14–18</p><p><br></p><p><strong>A Quick Note From Me</strong></p><p>If you’ve been noticing changes in your skin lately, less firmness, uneven tone, fine lines, crepey-looking skin, sagging or even that moment when you look at the skin on your neck or legs and think, <em>When did THAT happen?</em> I have something coming that you’re going to want to know about.</p><p>I’ve been testing MAKE Wellness’s new Beauty peptides, designed to support your body’s own natural processes from within, and I’m putting together a VIP list for the women who want the details as soon as I’m able to share them.</p><p>I can’t tell you everything yet.
