John's books are focused on spiritual growth, leadership, marriage, and the practical and applicational aspects of following Jesus.  In his discussion with Dr. Brad, he focuses on the overarching message of his latest book “Dwell on These Things.”  John believes you can change your life by changing the messages that enter your mind! Learn to see yourself through God's eyes by spending thirty-one days feeding your heart a new, biblical message of encouragement in his book “Dwell on These Things.”  Every day, our hearts and minds fill with messages—about ourselves, the world, and God—that we replay again and again. Some of these messages are accurate and helpful. Others run counter to truths that God wants us to understand and embrace.  Thankfully, you don’t have to live at the mercy of whatever thought pops into your mind. In fact, you can choose exactly which messages you wish to repeat and believe. Replace feelings of discouragement with a sense of God’s goodness. Practice seeing yourself in the loving way God sees you. Exchange negative self-talk for positive biblical messages. Learn to face the day with hope in your heart.    Episode 151 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast is a great and entertaining listen to the person of faith and the person exploring faith as a vital piece of facing and navigating through adversity to achieve a promised life. In Episode 151 you will learn that there’s no need to remain stuck thinking unhelpful thoughts. Learn how you can fill your mind with encouraging, life-enriching truths through a gospel-saturated, thirty-one-day challenge that can help you replace a destructive mindset with a positive, empowering, and godly one.
