Have you ever had a day where your emotions felt overwhelming and suddenly your thoughts started spiraling into anxiety, fear, or discouragement? In this episode, we’re talking about something so many Christian women struggle with: letting emotions control our thoughts. While emotions are real and valid, they are not always reliable. When we allow feelings to determine what we believe, we can easily start believing lies instead of the truth of God’s Word. In this honest and encouraging conversation, I share a personal moment where I realized I had been letting my emotions lead my thinking — and how God reminded me of the power of taking every thought captive. You’ll learn how trauma and stress can make emotional thinking stronger, why the enemy often uses our emotions to plant lies, and how we can begin renewing our minds with truth instead. This episode will give you simple, practical ways to start your day grounded in truth so your emotions don’t take over your thoughts. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained lately, this conversation will encourage you and remind you that God’s truth is stronger than the lies in your mind. In This Episode We Talk About: • Why emotions are real but not always trustworthy • How trauma can intensify emotional thinking • The biblical meaning of taking thoughts captive • Recognizing lies the enemy plants in our mind • Practical steps to start your day with truth instead of fear • Learning to lead your emotions with God’s Word Scripture Mentioned 2 Corinthians 10:5 — “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Romans 8:28 — “God works all things together for good.” John 8:32…","meta_description":"Welcome back to the podcast, sweet friend!
