Ep 8 - Craig Groeschel: Winning the War Inside Your Mind

The Paula Faris 'Faith & Calling' Podcast - A podcast by AccessMore

Award-winning author, speaker and pastor of Life.Church, Craig Groeschel sits down with Paula, in Edmonton, Oklahoma, to talk about overcoming the loud, opinionated, and often harsh voice inside your head - which is also the focus of his new book, Winning the War in Your Mind. He opens up about his experiences with counseling and his journey to creating healthy work-rhythms, which include setting limitations and admitting when you’re struggling. Before creating Life. Church more than 25 years ago, Groeschel was told he wasn’t cutout to be a pastor, but as he explains: a no isn’t always forever, and it’s who you turn to in the aftermath that matters the most in your journey forward. He also talks about using the truth to create new pathways in your brain in an effort to renew your mind. Craig even shares his secret to discovering gratitude on a daily basis and the importance of your physical health when it comes to winning the battle inside your mind. “Your life is always moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts.” “The fastest way to kill something special, is to compare it to something else.”
