We live in a day and age where stress, fear, worry, and anxiety are running rampant in our culture and society. However, these factors are not a part of the abundant life and plan in which God destines for you to experience. However, II Corinthians 10:5 reminds us of a strategy to overcome the negative, maladaptive thoughts in our lives by stating, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Joining us today to provide additional guidance and wisdom from this passage is a renowned speaker, author, and Bible teacher, Margaret Feinberg. Host of the popular podcast, The Joycast, Margaret Feinberg is a popular Bible teacher and speaker at churches and leading conferences such as Extraordinary Women, Thrive and Women of Joy. She is also the creator of best-selling coloring and creative books for grown ups. Her other books, including  Scouting the Divine, Fight Back With Joy, Taste and See: Discovering God Among Butchers, Bakers and Fresh Food Makers, and their corresponding Bible studies, have sold over one million copies and received critical acclaim and extensive national media coverage from CNN, the Associated Press, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and more. She was recently named one of 50 women most shaping culture and the church today by Christianity Today. Margaret lives in Utah with her husband, Leif, and their superpup, Zoom. She believes some of the best days are spent around a table with amazing food and friends.
