Podcasts about thought life

Ryan wrestles with a piercing question sparked by Charlie Kirk's testimony: Are we actually called to purity—or is purity the assumed condition of a life on mission for Christ? Drawing from Kirk's own words about victory over pornography and Psalm 97:10, Ryan reframes purity not as an end in itself but as the necessary overflow of loving Jesus and pursuing His calling with focus.Topics DiscussedPurity vs. purpose: which is the calling and which is the conditionLessons from Charlie Kirk's testimony and focusThe danger of letting the “fight for purity” become a lifelong distractionPractical safeguards (accountability, tech tools) in their proper placePsalm 97:10 and hating evil as an expression of loving GodMoving from abstinence-mindset to satisfaction in ChristSimultaneously growing in purity while stepping into God's missionKey TakeawaysPurity is not the destination; it's the runway for a Spirit-led life on mission.A life that can “comfortably accommodate” impurity is misaligned with calling.Tools and accountability help, but transformation flows from loving Christ first.Get on mission now; don't postpone obedience until you feel “fully pure.”As love for Christ increases, purity increases—because there's more of you reserved for Him.Resources & LinksCharlie Kirk's original interview: ListenCovenant Eyes — accountability software for purityReady to download the Cord App?

We all struggle with negative thoughts, voices in our head and even poor self-talk. How do we sort it all out and recognize Gods voice in the noise. The guilt/shame crazy cycle can be so damaging. Remember this- no one talks to you more than you do, so start understanding how your thoughts toward yourself are a reflection of how you regard God. 

Ryan Swanson introduces The Cord 2.0, highlighting two big additions—Check‑In Streaks (consistency‑focused medals) and bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges—and explains why accountability tools are meant to lead us to Jesus, not replace Him as the answer. He also unpacks motivations (relationships, ministry, family) and shows how these secondary motives should funnel us back to Christ as the true source of purity and victory. You'll also hear a refresher on The Cord's core features like daily 1–10 check‑ins, 90‑second video reflections, and the SOS button rooted in Ecclesiastes 4:10 (never alone).Topics DiscussedWhy The Cord exists: daily light and never‑alone accountability (Ecc. 4)How daily 1–10 check‑ins + 90‑sec videos keep it sustainableSOS button: instant “I'm not alone” signaling during temptationThe Cord 2.0 Feature #1 – Check‑In Streaks (consistency over “purity streaks,” with medals at 7/30/100 days and beyond)The Cord 2.0 Feature #2 – Bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges (trusted preachers; keeps groups Christ‑focused)Motivation vs. the Answer: letting strong motives lead you to Jesus, not replace HimKey TakeawaysAccountability is a means, not the end; Jesus is both the end and the means of purity.The Cord 2.0's Check‑In Streaks reward consistency, closing the “skip‑a‑bad‑day” loophole and keeping daily light on your heart.Short, bi‑weekly devotionals inject life and keep the focus on Christ so groups don't drift into a “dry confessional booth.”The SOS button helps you refuse isolation: you're known, prayed for, and expected to give account—tonight.Ready to download the Cord App?

Sexual sobriety is about more than your behavior—it begins in your thought life. In this episode of Beauty Beyond Betrayal, Lisa Limehouse unpacks why your thoughts matter, how they shape your feelings, beliefs, and actions, and why true freedom requires taking every thought captive and submitting it to Christ. You'll discover: The biblical foundation for renewing your mind (2 Corinthians 10:5, Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:8) What neuroscience reveals about how your thought patterns create or break addictions How to rewire your brain through God's truth 5 practical steps to take every thought captive and walk in lasting sexual sobriety If you've ever struggled to break free from lust, pornography, or sexual sin, this episode will give you both biblical wisdom and brain-based strategies to help you finally overcome.

In this Extraordinary series message, Chris Vessey speaks about how God heals our minds and equips us to win “the battle for your thought life.” Drawing from Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:6–7, and Matthew 6:25–34, Chris shows how both external noise (the constant busyness, stimulation, and distraction of our culture) and internal noise (worry, anxiety, fear, and negative self-talk) rob us of the peace God promises. Looking at Jesus' own example in passages like Luke 5:15–16 and Mark 1:35, he urges us to regularly withdraw to quiet, solitary places to be with the Father, hear His voice, and receive His love and affirmation. In that “furnace of transformation,” we can take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:3–5), overcome the lies of the enemy, fix our eyes on Jesus, and receive the perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3) that only He can give.

Part four of the "Head Games" series. Pastor Richard continues on the subject of your THOUGHT LIFE. He gives us key points on how to take control of your thoughts and how to subdue storms in your soul.

Join us for a sermon about awakening our thought life and emotions from Ps Derek Peters.

Did you know it's impossible to live a positive life with a negative mind? The Bible tells us about the type of thoughts that should fill our minds. Philippians 4:8 reads, “Think on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, things that have a good report, thoughts that are excellent and praiseworthy.”

Jerry or "Randy") shares how his walk with God took a dramatic turn when he stopped obsessing over answers and started seeking a Person. Through his honest testimony, you'll hear how this shift brought clarity, peace, and real purity into his life. Whether you're wrestling with God's will, struggling with temptation, or just want to grow, this episode calls you to aim higher—toward Christ Himself.Topics Discussed:Why pursuing God's will isn't the same as pursuing GodThe confusion that comes from conflicting counselHow to overcome anxiety over decision-makingPractical steps Jerry took to eliminate sources of impurityWhy purity must be about seeking Christ, not just avoiding sinThe transformation that happens when you truly delight in the LordThe freedom found in aiming for a relationship, not just resultsKey Takeaways:Freedom comes not by focusing on sin, but by focusing on Christ.You can aim higher than just staying clean—you can know God deeply.Practical boundaries are wise, but heart-level change comes through Jesus.God's will is revealed in relationship, not just in research.“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God”—and that's the point.Ready to download the Cord App?

Episode SummaryIn the final episode of the Mind War series on the Satisfied program, Ryan Swanson tackles a difficult but crucial topic: desire. Is the struggle in our thought life something we must simply manage forever, or does God offer more? With biblical clarity and pastoral empathy, Ryan shares the hope that victory isn't just about saying “no”—it's about saying “yes” to Jesus, and discovering the peace of a transformed mind.Topics DiscussedThe distinction between temptation and desireCan God change your desires?Testimonies of men battling addiction and cravingIsaiah 26:3 and the key to perfect peaceReframing the battle: it's not a yes/no choice, it's a multiple choiceDesire, availability, and isolation in thought life strugglesWhy saying “yes” to Christ is the only path to victoryWhat David teaches us about longing in Psalm 63Encouragement to fight the battle, but aim for peaceKey TakeawaysThe goal of spiritual warfare isn't just a good fight—it's peace.Saying “no” to sin is not enough; victory comes by saying “yes” to Christ.God may want to do more than help you resist sin—He may want to change what you desire.Perfect peace is possible, not when you try harder, but when your mind is stayed on Christ.Your journey is not just about fighting gratification but about learning to be satisfied in Jesus.Ready to download the Cord App?

Episode SummaryIn this opening episode of the Mind War series, we tackle the thought life as a critical battleground in the fight for purity. But is focusing on thoughts sometimes a way to avoid dealing with deeper struggles? This episode challenges listeners to look beyond surface-level battles and identify root issues that drive cycles of failure. Discover practical insights and biblical truths that will help you move toward real and lasting victory.Topics DiscussedMinistry updates, including purity seminars and recent travels to Urbana, Ohio.Why the thought life is often seen as the biggest issue in the fight for purity.Exploring three key areas of struggle: thoughts, viewing, and self-gratification.Why thoughts may be the easiest struggle to admit but often not the root problem.The dangers of denial and optimism in personal purity battles.Job 31:1—making a covenant with your eyes to address deeper purity issues.Encouragement to embrace desperation as the starting point for deliverance.Key TakeawaysThe Thought Life Isn't Always the Root Issue: While important, thoughts are often the result of deeper struggles, like viewing or self-gratification, and need to be addressed at the source.Denial Hinders Victory: Honesty about struggles is critical—without admitting the true nature of the battle, real change is impossible.Desperation Brings Deliverance: Becoming desperate for victory in purity is the first step toward experiencing true deliverance.Practical and Biblical Strategies Work Together: Making a covenant with your eyes, as Job did, is essential for maintaining integrity and overcoming the cycle of failure.Ready to download the Cord App?
