If I could use two words to describe our current society, they would be noisy and isolated.

Now those words may seem like opposites, but hear me out.

Like never before, we're inundated by the sounds and distractions of everyday life.

And at the same time, we're becoming more and more distanced from one another.

That's today.

Thanks for joining us for this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.

We are an international teaching and discipleship ministry that encourages and equips Christians to live like Christians. Well, in just a minute,

we'll continue our series, Get Out of Your Head, taught by our guest speaker, Jenny Allen. She's a best-selling

author, experienced Bible teacher, and the founder of the If Gathering Events. Today, Jenny begins

identifying toxic thoughts that pollute our minds and the biblical remedies that can stop them.

And to help you learn more about this idea of taking every thought captive,

let me encourage you to get Jenny's book, which this series was based on.

Visit Living on the Edge.org or the chip and grap to get your copy.
