Hello, my friends, and welcome back to The Morning Mindset.

Are you ready?

Are you ready to get your mind aligned with the truth of God?

That's what The Morning Mindset is about, and that is what this particular series of

episodes is about.

I'm calling it Mind War, and we are learning how to equip ourselves to fight the battle

that goes on in our mind every single day.

Did you know The Morning Mindset is a listener field project that means listeners have come

alongside to financially support what we're doing.

It's our desire, my wife's desire in mind, to produce even more resources in the future.

In fact, we're working on a new podcast together about the topics of Christian parenting, and

partners are making this happen.

If you want to come alongside and help us, produce even more content to help Christian

families, to help Christian men, women, boys, girls, live the Christian life more effectively,

there is a link in the description for this episode where you can find out more.

Alright friends, we are diving in again to this series on Mind War.

We are working to put ourselves in a place where we are able to fight the battles when

they come up in their lives, and today I want to talk about the issue of affliction.

Now, if that's kind of a big word and you're not exactly sure what it means, it basically

means when something painful or hurtful or damaging has come into your life, it could

be a sickness.

It could be some sort of persecution, it could be some sort of loss that you've experienced.
