What you feed your mind will shape the direction of your life.
#BattleDrillDevotional #MindsetMatters #FaithInFocus #ChristianLiving
In today’s episode of Battle Drill Devotional, we explore the quiet but powerful influence of our thoughts. Based on 2 Timothy 2:22, this reflection unpacks the call to “run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts” and instead, “pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace.” The Bible doesn’t invite us to manage toxic thoughts - it invites us to flee from them and fill our minds with something better.
Thoughts grow. Bitterness multiplies. Grace multiplies too. What we dwell on is what we draw near. This episode invites you to consider what loops in your mind and how it might be shaping your words, your choices, and your relationships.
We’ll reflect on practical examples - from The Salvation Army’s frontline ministry to personal stories of transformation - where a single thought shift changed the whole course of a life. And you’ll be gently encouraged to take your next step: not in guilt or shame, but in grace and trust.
What are you thinking about today? And is it pulling you towards Jesus or pushing you away?
🎧 Listen now and consider what you’re chasing - and what might be chasing you.
