Podcasts about toxic thoughts

In Part 1 of our new series, Love That Won't Quit, we step into one of the most unsettling stories in the Bible—the story of Hosea and Gomer. This is not a romantic love story. It's a revelation of covenant love, redemptive love, and a God who relentlessly pursues people who keep running away.Main Scripture: Hosea 1:2-3, Hosea 4:12, Colossians 3:5, Romans 1:24-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18-19Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# Even after healing, breakthrough, and victory, the enemy will attempt to re-enter through the battlefield of the mind. Toxic thoughts, negative thinking, fear cycles, and mental strongholds do not mean you have failed—they reveal where spiritual warfare is actively taking place. In this episode of Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, Kathy DeGraw exposes how lies, vain imaginations, and false perceptions infiltrate the thought life and begin looping into worry, stress, depression, and fear. Many believers struggle not because they lack faith, but because they have not been equipped to capture and confront thoughts before they become strongholds. Kathy teaches the biblical strategy of recognize, reject, and replace, rooted in 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 and Romans 12:2. Learn how to break agreement with toxic thoughts, partner with the Holy Spirit, and replace lies with God's truth so your mind can be renewed and rewired. This teaching connects spiritual warfare, neuroplasticity, and biblical authority to help you experience lasting freedom. If you are battling repetitive thoughts, fear of the past repeating, anxiety about the future, or mental exhaustion, this episode will equip you with practical tools to walk in peace, authority, and divine health. Healing is possible, and freedom begins in the mind. #MindBattles #PropheticSpiritualWarfare #BreakMentalStrongholds #ChristianDeliverance #RenewYourMind **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/ Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - Receive a free prayer pdf on Warfare Prayer Declarations at https://kathydegrawministries.org/declarations-download - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

In this message, Pastor Mark Bonilla explores the "health epidemic" of isolation, noting that social disconnection carries a health risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. He proposed that the only remedy is authentic biblical community. You will learn:True community requires looking intently at each other, not just passing by.Like an egg must be broken and moved vigorously to change state, we must allow others to "irritate" our status quo for growth.It isn't just praying "for" someone; it's walking "with" them and literally lightening their load.You don't sharpen a knife with a rag. You need "no-people" and challengers who are stronger or wiser to hone your character.Main Scripture: Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 27:17Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

We all want a new year to feel different.But most change doesn't fail because of a lack of desire.It fails because of a lack of positioning.Jesus didn't say try harder.He said draw nearer.Fasting isn't about punishment.It's about clarity.It's not about what you give up. It's about what you make room for.This year doesn't begin with louder goals.It begins with healthier habits.With prayer.With surrender.With leaning into God at your inflection point.Some breakthroughs don't come from effort.They come from alignment.This is my year because this is my posture.Not a diet. Not a trend.A posture of surrender.Who's fasting something this week?Main Scripture: Luke 2:11-20; Philippians 2:3; Proverbs 4:20-22; Genesis 12:1-4; Nehemiah 8:10; John 3:16Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

This message confronts the deeply held belief many people carry that they are disqualified from God's love, purpose, or calling due to their past, their pain, or their perceived inadequacy. Mary's story reminds us that God does not wait for us to feel worthy before He works through us. Instead, He meets us in our fear, speaks purpose over us, and invites us to trust Him with what feels impossible.This sermon reveals that God's grace does not ignore our unworthiness it overcomes it. The arrival of Jesus is proof that God draws near not to the impressive, but to the humble, the hesitant, and the unsure. Like Mary, we are invited to surrender our doubts and say yes to a God who makes us worthy through His presence.Main Scripture: Luke 1:26–38Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

Joy is not the product of circumstances; joy is the overflow of recognizing that God is already at work—even when what He's doing doesn't yet make sense. What do you do when life doesn't look like what you prayed for?

Jesus doesn't just bring peace — He is peace. True peace is not the absence of problems; it is the presence of Christ in them.Recognize why peace feels so elusive,Understand Jesus as the source of true biblical peace, andExperience peace in tangible ways through surrender and trust.

Christmas doesn't have to be either great or hard. There's a hope that overcomes anything. On a silent night, a light broke through the darkness. The world watched in awe as love stepped in. Jesus changed everything—including the life that's possible for us. We can experience the wonder of our Savior. Together we'll reflect on the hope, peace, joy, and love found in Him with our series, The Arrival.

Welcome to Vision Sunday 2026—a day not just of information, but impartation.  “Enlarge your tent… do not hold back… for you will spread out to the right and to the left.”This message is for anyone asking:“What is God doing next in my life?”“What is the future of the church?”“How do I step into God's calling with confidence?”“What does it mean to live on mission in today's world?”Main Scripture: Isaiah 54:1–3

Even in chains, in storms, and through shipwreck, Paul's story in Acts 28 reminds us that God's purpose cannot be stopped by life's problems. What looked like disaster—a storm, a snakebite, a shipwreck—became the very stage where God showed His power and opened hearts on the island of Malta.This message will inspire you to see that your detours are often divine appointments, and what the enemy meant for harm, God uses for healing and salvation. When life breaks your plans, God is still working His plan. The same Spirit that carried Paul through the storm is carrying you through yours.Main Scripture: Acts 28

Everyone faces storms. The question isn't if they'll come — it's how you'll survive them. In this powerful message from Acts 27, Pastor Armando Palazzo unpacks the incredible story of Paul's shipwreck and shows how God can use even your biggest storm to steer you toward purpose.You'll learn how to:Stay anchored when life feels out of controlKeep faith when the “ship” seems to be sinkingRecognize God's voice above the chaosSee how breaking apart might actually be part of God's rescue planWhether you're dealing with financial struggles, family conflict, or spiritual fatigue — this message will lift your faith and remind you that storms don't destroy God's promises. Main Scripture: Acts 27

In Acts 26, the Apostle Paul stands before powerful leaders, falsely accused, and unfairly judged — yet completely unshaken. What looks like another delay or setback is actually part of God's divine strategy to position Paul exactly where He wants him: in Rome, fulfilling his calling.This message reminds us that God is sovereign. It is a powerful reminder that God will use flawed people to accomplish His goals on the Earth. Main Scripture: 1 Corinthians 26

In Acts 25, the Apostle Paul stands before powerful leaders, falsely accused, and unfairly judged — yet completely unshaken. What looks like another delay or setback is actually part of God's divine strategy to position Paul exactly where He wants him: in Rome, fulfilling his calling.This message reminds us that when our faith is on trial, God's purpose is still on schedule. Even when we're misunderstood, mistreated, or caught in systems of politics and power, God is quietly working behind the scenes to advance His kingdom through us.Like Paul, we're called to stand firm, speak truth, and trust that no human authority can derail a divine assignment. What may feel like a courtroom of defeat can actually become a platform for the gospel.

In this powerful message, Pastor Armando Palazzo unpacks the Apostle Paul's bold statement in 1 Corinthians 9:27 — “I discipline my body and keep it under control.”Learn what Paul really meant when he said he beats his flesh into submission, and discover how spiritual discipline, self-control, and integrity are essential for every believer and leader today.Whether you're battling temptation, struggling with consistency, or simply hungry for a deeper walk with God, this teaching will equip you to live with focus, victory, and purpose.

In Acts 23, the Apostle Paul stands before the Saducees and Pharisees people and the authorities to share his life-changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In this message, we explore how God can transform your past mistakes, setbacks, and struggles and use those very setbacks to propel you forward. Learn how to:Accept the past Allow the past to propel you forward  Turn your past into a platform to help others move forward Main scripture: Acts 23

In Acts 22, the Apostle Paul stands before the people and the authorities to share his life-changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In this message, we explore how God can transform your past mistakes, setbacks, and struggles into a powerful testimony that inspires, influences, and impacts others.Learn how to:Share your personal story with boldness and clarityTurn challenges and pain into platforms for influenceLive courageously for Christ even in the face of oppositionMain scripture: Acts 22

In Acts 21, We see Paul boldly walking into God's calling, even when he knows hardship is ahead. This message dives deep into:How to discern God's will in challenging seasonsTrusting the Holy Spirit as your ultimate “warranty” through trialsCourage and faith in the face of oppositionLessons for today's believers about obedience, perseverance, and God's provisionWhether you're stepping into a new calling, facing trials in ministry, or simply wanting to grow in your faith, this message will encourage and equip you to walk faithfully with God.Main scripture: Acts 21:1–36

When anxious feelings rise, our first instinct is often to push them away. But true calm comes from nourishing the mind, body and soul — creating space for presence, connection, and grounding. In this episode, I'll guide you through simple yet powerful practices that you can weave into daily life to find more peace, even in busy seasons. We'll talk about mindfulness, journaling, reframing thoughts, spiritual connection, and gratitude — practical tools that help restore balance and clarity. You'll also hear how supporting your body's foundation with doTERRA's wellness supplements can give you that extra layer of resilience, but the focus here is on nourishing your inner world. What You'll Learn:

Ephesians 4:23-24 (CEV) reads, “Let the Spirit change your way of thinking and make you into a new person.” How?...

Today's message is from Acts 20, one of the most powerful chapters in the book of Acts. In this passage, the Apostle Paul gives his emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders, reminding us to:Serve the Lord with humility and tearsPreach the whole counsel of GodGuard the flock against false teachingFinish the race with joy no matter the costMain scripture: Acts 20:17–38; Acts 19; Luke 3:16; 

In Acts 19, we see what happens when the gospel of Jesus Christ collides with the idols of culture. Revival breaks out, lives are transformed, and an entire city feels the impact. But with transformation often comes opposition. Join us as we explore the power of the name of Jesus, the reality of spiritual authority, and the call to turn from idols to the living God.Main scripture: Acts 19

In Acts 18, we see the Apostle Paul arrive in Corinth, partner with Priscilla and Aquila, and boldly proclaim the gospel despite opposition. God speaks to Paul in a vision, reminding him: “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking, for I am with you.”This chapter reminds us that God strengthens His people in times of weakness, raises up faithful partners in ministry, and advances the gospel even in difficult places.Main scripture: Acts 18:1-4, 7-8; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Psalm 23

Podcast from Nfluence Church | Granger, IndianaFeaturing: Dr. David ImesThis week, Dr. David Imes shared a powerful message on the importance of renewing our minds, drawing from Romans 12:2: "Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God."Dr. Imes addressed the struggles many of us face with anxious thoughts and the impact of our thought life on our well-being. He explained that science and faith both affirm our ability to change and grow—our brains are "neuroplastic," meaning they can be reshaped by our thoughts and choices. God has given us the spiritual DNA to become more like Christ, and we are called to take every thought captive, replacing negativity with the truth of God's Word.Key practical steps included:Regularly reading and meditating on Scripture to shape our thinking.Taking time to quiet our minds and listen for God's voice.Speaking God's promises over our lives and others.Remembering that our identity is rooted in Christ, not in fear or past mistakes.Dr. Imes encouraged us to see ourselves as God sees us—loved, forgiven, and empowered to live out His will. As we renew our minds, we not only experience personal transformation but are better equipped to share hope with a hurting world.Let's commit this week to renewing our minds through God's Word and living out our true identity in Christ!Timestamps:01:38 Anxiety in Our Society02:12 Topic Introduction: Renewing Your Mind02:56 Faith, Science, and the Brain03:39 Key Scripture: Romans 12:204:59 Metamorphosis Analogy06:11 Spiritual DNA and God's Promises07:23 Changing the Way We Think08:27 Mind vs. Brain & Neuroplasticity10:00 Conscious and Non-Conscious Thoughts11:00 The Brain's Capacity for Change12:07 How Thoughts Become Physical13:47 Toxic Thoughts and Taking Thoughts Captive14:57 Epigenetics: Science Confirms Scripture16:22 Victim Mentality vs. Renewed Mind17:42 Neurogenesis: New Mercies Every Morning18:34 Faith, Healing, and the Power of Belief20:43 Taking Every Thought Captive21:44 The Power of Choice and Resting the Mind23:06 Quieting the Mind to Hear God24:15 Positive Self-Talk and Identity in Christ25:32 Practical Steps for Renewing the Mind28:10 Confessing God's Word Over Your Life

Acts 17, Paul stands in the heart of Athens—surrounded by idols, philosophies, and endless searching—and proclaims the truth about the God they didn't even realize they were missing. In a culture filled with noise, distractions, and false promises, this same message is just as urgent for us today: The God you're looking for is not unknown. He has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ.Main scripture: Acts 17; 1 Corinthians 3:6-7; Ephesians 5:15-16; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Jeremiah 14:14
