Tame Your Thoughts: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life

"NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Read by the author. When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of anxious, out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life. Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. 'Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind' (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life! In Tame Your Thoughts, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado explores three key thought management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: anxiety, guilt, rejection, and others. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind. Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. You will learn to: - Take thoughts captive - Test each message against the truth of Scripture - Interrupt poisonous thought threads - Think and act like Jesus If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness? Take God at his word. 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind' (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, you will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge. We can tame each thought, friends. Figures, reflection questions, and a scripture database can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download."

Tame Your Thoughts Bible Study: Audio: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life

"Renewing your mind will lead to a transformed life. Have you been feeling weighed down by worry? Or caught up in a web of self-critical thoughts? The good news is that with God's help, you can learn to renew your mind, break free from negative patterns, and become a little more like Jesus every day. This six-session Bible study explores three scripture-based tools for managing your thoughts: Practice Picky Thinking: Monitor the airspace of your thoughts and don't allow the destructive ones to land. Identify UFOs: Scan for any untruths that are creating false narratives that are leading to overreactions. Uproot and Replant: Don't let the ugly weeds of Satan's lies grow. Pull them up by the roots and replace them with God's truth. These three tools will help you take every thought captive and test the messages that replay in your mind against the truth of God's Word. You will also learn to overcome common thought traps like anxiety, guilt, rejection, dissatisfaction, and more. No matter who you are or where you come from, progress is possible.

This study was born in a hard season—a pandemic that locked down the world. Church doors closed. Students were stuck at home. Masks hid smiles. And as if this weren't enough, the ancient sin of racism and hatred seems to be trying to undo us. Many of us are left wondering if this season will ever pass. To all these things, God has a six-letter word of encouragement: E-S-T-H-E-R. The book that bears her name was written to be read in hard seasons. It was crafted for those who feel outnumbered by foes, outmaneuvered by fate, and outdone by fear. In the You Were Made for This Moment five-session audio Bible study, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado presents the story of Esther in all its drama, urgency, and hope. Esther's is a story that reaches out of the past to our present circumstances with a singular message: God is present, and he will act. It's a story that demands from us a singular response: what will we do when he does? Sessions include: - Cozy in the Culture (Esther 1:1–2:18) - A Moment of Decision (Esther 2:19–4:14) - Heaven Set in Motion (Esther 4:15–6:14) - The God of Great Turnarounds (Esther 7:1–8:17) - Remembering God's Faithfulness (Esther 9:1–10:3)"

Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails Bible Study: Audio: Love is Born, Hope is Here

"Because of Bethlehem/He Chose the Nails is a collection of two audio Bible studies for Christmas and Easter by Max Lucado. Because of Bethlehem Because of Bethlehem, God knows what it's like to be human. Because of Bethlehem, when we talk to him about tough times, he understands. He's been there. He's been here. Because of Bethlehem, we know he doesn't say, 'Clean up before you come in.' He offers, 'Come in and I'll clean you up.' Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record... just grace. In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, Max will help you: - Revive your wonder that the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us. - Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas who offers lasting hope. - Lay down your endless Christmas to-do list and receive what Jesus has already done. - Heal your heartache by embracing the God who is always near you, always for you, and always in you. He Chose the Nails The last moments leading up to Jesus' death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn't have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more. In this Easter season study, Max will help you: - Experience Lent as a time not to just give up something, but to prepare to receive good gifts from God. - Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life. - Receive the grace of Christ's work for us, and cooperate with God's work in us to make us more like him. - Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God's presence, no matter what you've done.
