  • Why Willpower Isn’t Always Enough: A Kinder, Stronger Way to Make Lasting Change

    Why Willpower Isn’t Always Enough: A Kinder, Stronger Way to Make Lasting Change
    Jul 8 2025
    Willpower can be helpful, but relying on it too much can wear you out. A professor from the University of Toronto suggests a more empowering approach: instead of just resisting temptations, try shifting your mindset by embracing a new identity—like saying, “That’s not who I am” or “That’s not my kind of food.” This simple change can make healthy choices feel more natural. Reminder: seeking guidance from God can provide strength and support on your journey of personal growth.

  • Brant Hansen on Choosing What Fills Your Mind

    Brant Hansen on Choosing What Fills Your Mind
    Jul 7 2025
    Brant and Sherri's convo today will make you stop and think. In Colossians 3 we’re reminded to focus our minds on things that truly matter: what’s pure, lovely, admirable, true, and noble. It’s not just a nice idea; it’s something each of us has to choose to do every day.

    Sure, there are tons of tools and resources out there to help—apps, devotionals, sermons—but at the end of the day, no one else can steer your thoughts for you. That part’s on us. It’s a quiet kind of responsibility, one that happens in the background of our daily lives. But when we take it seriously, it can really shift how we see the world and how we show up in it.

    It’s comforting, in a way, to realize that while we can't control everything, we can choose where we let our thoughts dwell—and that can make all the difference.
