About this listen

Every Thuoght Captive is a faith-centered podcast for anyone who has felt mentally exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, or quietly stuck in their own thoughts. Hosted by Lisa Menke, this podcast explores the inner battles we all face: fear, doubt, anxiety, shame-and gently brings them into the light of Biblical truth. Rooted in scripture and lived experience, Every Thought Captive isn't about pop psychology or quick fixes. It's about learning how to notice our thoughts, hold them up to truth, and surrender the ones that are hurting us. This space is for honesty, compassion, and hope, and faith.Lisa Menke Christianity Spirituality

    This episode is an encouragement for anyone who has replayed words, questioned themselves, or carried criticism longer than they meant to.

  • Guarding Your Mind When Everything Feels Loud
    Mar 19 2026

    Episode 10: Guarding Your Mind When Everything Feels Loud

    When everything feels loud: your thoughts, your responsibilities, the constant noise of daily life ... peace can feel out of reach.

    But Scripture tells a different story.

    In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to guard your mind in the middle of the noise. Not by escaping your circumstances, but by anchoring your thoughts in truth.

    We’ll walk through:

    • Why peace doesn’t come from quieter circumstances
    • How to recognize what you’re carrying that was never yours
    • What it means to take thoughts captive in real time
    • And how God’s Word becomes your filter when everything feels overwhelming

    This isn’t about having perfect thoughts.

    It’s about learning how to recognize, release, and realign.

    Key Scriptures (NASB):

    • Romans 8:28
    • Psalm 46:1–3
    • Matthew 11:28–30
    • 1 Peter 5:7
    • 2 Corinthians 10:5
    • Philippians 4:6–8
    • Isaiah 26:3
    • John 14:27
    • Colossians 3:15

    When your thoughts get loud… the truth needs to be louder.
