Today, from guest teacher Kyle Eidelman.

The stronghold in the ancient world was this fortress.

It was built on the highest and most defensible point in the city. It had thick walls,

reinforced gates. It was designed to be impenetrable. It was considered to be too strong to be brought down.

And Paul uses this language to talk about the thoughts that are on repeat in our minds.

Is there a lie you've believed for so long? It just feels like who you are? I've always been an

anxious person. I'm not worthy of love. I always mess things up. Well, those thoughts aren't just

habits. They're strongholds. The good news is they can be torn down.

Today, on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram brings to the stage guest teacher Kyle Eidleman

for an important lesson on keeping every thought captive and why strongholds must fall.

Here's Chip Ingram to introduce today's guest teacher. This whole series is

about something that happens inside your mind and my mind, and that life change actually happens,

and the root of all life change is in our thinking. And so we need to get the truth in our mind.

What I love about Kyle's teaching in the series is I know Kyle. He's authentic.

He's real. He's sharing real life stuff that you struggle with, I struggle with. And then he

helps us learn through scripture and science how to put into practice taking every thought

captive so that the spirit of God can take the word of God

in the context of community and see those areas that need to change in your life and my life

become a reality. Today's message from Kyle Eidleman is titled, Strongholds must fall.

There are some strongholds in your life that maybe you didn't choose.

They were handed down to you.

Maybe it wasn't purposeful, but here you are.
