Jamie Winship spent nearly 30 years living and working in conflict
zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all
human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a
false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's
false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive,
fully human, and fully free. Unpacking the power of knowing our
true identity in Christ, Winship takes us on a journey of telling
ourselves the truth, changing our mindsets, and experiencing actual
life transformation that leads to radical courage in the face of
all that life throws at us. With humor, clarity, and real-life
practicality, Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely
to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person
he created you to be--and also about all those other people he
created and loves. If you want to discover the incredible
difference abiding in Christ will make in your life and faith, get
ready to do "a new thing" with God.
In this twelve-lesson workbook, pastor and New York Times
bestselling author Craig Groeschel pairs modern psychology and
biblical teaching to reveal how to win the war in your mind and
restore daily peace in your life. What you think shapes who you
are. If your thoughts are out of control, your life will be as
well. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this
is true. In recent years, a discipline of psychology called
cognitive behavioral therapy has gained popularity. This discipline
is rooted in an understanding that many problems--from eating
disorders to relational challenges, addictions, and even some forms
of depression--are rooted in negative patterns of thinking.
Treating those problems begins with changing that thinking. This
has many parallels with Scripture. In Paul's letter to the
Philippians, he writes about turning our thoughts to certain types
of things (truth, purity, loveliness...) and putting them into
practice so that we experience God's peace. In this workbook, Craig
goes deeper into the principles outlined in his book (sold
separately) to reveal the strategies he has discovered that will
change your mind and, by extension, your life for the long-term.
Each lesson includes biblical exploration, reflection and
application questions, and practical exercises to help you: Gain
insight into how your brain works and how your thoughts affect your
reality. Identify your destructive thought patterns and eliminate
them from your life. Become a thought warrior and replace the
enemy's lies with God's truth. God has something better for your
life than your old ways of thinking. It's time to change your mind
so God can change your life.
