You Would Think

🦝 Who let all these raccoons in?! Have you ever noticed how quickly one thought can take over your entire day? "I'm a failure." "They must be mad at me." "I'll never change." "If people knew the real me, they'd leave." In this episode of You Would Think , we're unpacking one of the most practical verses in the New Testament: "We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." — 2 Corin...

Do you ever feel responsible for everyone else's happiness? Do you replay conversations in your head, avoid conflict at all costs, or feel guilty whenever someone is disappointed with you?
