Can You Trust Every Thought?

Main message: You can't control every thought that arises, but by taking each thought captive to Christ (2 Cor 10:5) you can choose not to believe, entertain, or cultivate thoughts that are contrary to God and instead form a Christ-centered thought life.

Key points:

• Thoughts will arise that are shame-driven, regretful, or random; their presence isn't your fault.
• You can control how you respond to each thought — you don't have to give it time, energy, or belief.
• 2 Corinthians 10:5 commands taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.
• Studying Jesus and Scripture develops a filter to recognize which thoughts align with God.
• Intentionally cultivating thoughts that reflect God's character brings freedom and stops unhealthy thought patterns.
