REVIEW OF THE WEEK: 

Christine Coughlin – Life Changing – 5 Stars

Hi Trish, I can’t thank you enough for how much hope and encouragement you have been giving me. I started listening to your podcasts a couple of weeks ago and I haven’t been able to stop since. No one has ever spoken in a way that resonated with me and encouraged my heart and my faith in such a deep way. I’ve been struggling with depression and body dysmorphia for years after an extremely traumatic surgery. But God has been faithful and He’s healing me more and more every day. Listening to your story of overcoming trauma and body dysmorphia and now helping so many people through your pain has inspired me to fight even harder for victory over this struggle. I know I will use my story to help others like you have. Thank you for giving me the hope and courage to walk in confidence in the calling God has for me.

LIKE HOW MANY OF GOD’S BEST STORIES START

I didn’t plan for this part of my life. I would have laughed if you told me years ago I’d be here blogging, writing, and speaking. There was a lot of wrestling with God at the beginning, questioning things he’d placed in my heart that I couldn’t seem to shake. I was caught between feeling like my life was already so full and not wanting to miss the “even more” God had for me.

As we get to know each other, you’ll learn quickly that I’m a catalytic leader and the type to take risks. Because God has an impeccable sense of humor, I married an even crazier, riskier leader- my husband Zac. Along came four crazy, risky dreamer kids who’ve never stopped surprising us. Even the one who grew in my heart (instead of my tummy) came hard-wired to rule the world. As a crazy, risk-taking family, we love God with everything we have and are on a daily mission to give that crazy love away.

With every word I write, I hope the underlying message will ring out loud and clear: God sees you. He loves you. He has invited you into the beautiful story He’s written for this world. And, because He is a God of abundance, He wants to use you to bring more of His love into a world that desperately needs it. I’ve seen for myself the crazy and miraculous that Jesus does when we release the grip of control and step fully in. It’s never a mistake to step into where He’s leading you. Let’s do it together. You in?

QUESTIONS FOR HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD:

We are in charge of our thoughts, our thoughts are not in charge of us.

It’s an epidemic, toxic thoughts, right? Can you speak to why this trend is happening and how we start breaking the cycle of whatever is perpetuating it?

Jeannie – let’s talk about seasons of life when fear overwhelms and takes over the space of the brain. Have you ever been stuck in that cycle and what have you done when that has happened?

Girl, I’m definitely a right-brained gal, so let’s talk left-brain, shall we? Can you speak to the science behind why our thoughts can change our life?

You speak about thought choices we can make – can you walk us through that process?

Jeannie, I’m also eager to learn from other believers who are walking with a wisdom focus — who are living counterculturally to the busyness of the world. Do you mind sharing your personal time with God looks like and or some of your most important daily habits?

BELIEVING IN YOUR ABILITY TO CHANGE AND BE CHANGED

God changes us through the transformation of our minds.

Training our thoughts isn’t just a novel idea from psychology or personal development – it’s as old as time itself.

When we pay attention to our thoughts, we are able to make clear and right decisions.

1. Draft out a timeline of how you have changed
2. Think about people you know who have done a 180 in life
3. Detox the phrase “people don’t change” – because they do, when they want to.

Dear Trish,

I have just discovered your podcast and site. In the past three days, I have listened to you talk about making changes in my thinking and my mind and I am so ready for this! I’ve struggled with negative self talk my entire adult life, and at age 54 finally feel like I can do this! I can’t wait to continue my health journey, with you as a part of it. I truly can’t thank you enough for sharing what you share, and in a format that is accessible.

Sincerely,

Andrea Garrett
