Summary
We talk to ourselves all day long—often without even realizing it. And while we may not be able to turn off the constant chatter happening inside our minds, we can learn to change the conversation.
In this episode, author and Moody Radio host Jon Gauger shares how self-talk can be either destructive or redemptive, depending on whether you speak lies or biblical truth to yourself.
So today, Jon will teach you how to identify the lies you're believing, replace them with Scripture, and invite God to renew your thinking. You'll also hear practical ways to memorize Scripture, why the Psalms are such a powerful place to start, and how speaking truth to your soul can bring peace, patience, and hope into your everyday life.
Plus, Jon offers a FREE download to help you shift gears in your mind and hide God's Word in your heart.
