In this program, Chip turns the mic over to guest teacher Jennie Allen for her series “Get Out of Your Head.” Don’t miss how we can guard our minds against toxic thoughts that threaten to destroy us.
Introduction: There’s an enemy that wants to kill, steal, and destroy our generation through our minds.

v.3: For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.
- There is a spiritual war that is waging against us and it’s not of the flesh.
v.4: For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
- Repetitive negative thoughts build strongholds.
v.5: We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
- God gives us the power to destroy strongholds. --- Romans 12:2

- The sum of our lives will be rooted in what we think about. --- Proverbs 23:7a
