Summary
God's Word tells us to take every thought captive to Christ, encouraging us to submit our minds to the truth, freedom, and hope found in Jesus. Today's podcast is a beautiful reminder of the healing power of Scripture when the enemy attacks our minds.
Piper Rinehart, from our Tulsa, Oklahoma community team, vulnerably shares her story of how the Lord graciously met her in a season of spiritual warfare as she was being bombarded by extremely fearful and intrusive thoughts. As Piper recounts the battle in her brain, you are going to see firsthand how the armor of God protected and defended her and how His voice took her from darkness to light.
