Losing Your Mind (And Gaining the Mind of Christ)

How to Overhaul Your Brain for Faith, Focus, and Flourishing

Beschreibung

We live in a time when a healthy, right mind feels rare. Have you ever wondered if your spiritual life and the state of your mind are connected? The Bible says they are-your thoughts shape your feelings, actions, and even your destiny. Yet, how often do we think about training our brain for discipleship? Many Christians don't realize that following Jesus requires transforming the way we think. Love or rejection? Peace or torment? Joy or misery? Life or death? Whatever path you choose, your mind is the key to getting there. God wants to renew and transform your mind to reflect Christ, while the enemy wants to trap you in destructive patterns. What is the mind of Christ? In short, it is the foolishness of the world. The mind of Christ goes against the grain of worldly knowledge and seeks to do the will of the Father. It is formed by Scripture and focused, controlled, and led by the Holy Spirit. In Losing Your Mind (And Gaining the Mind of Christ), Dr. Peter Bellini brings together science and Scripture to explore how discipleship impacts your brain. Through practical steps, biblical wisdom, and relatable insights, you'll discover how to renew your thinking, overcome mental struggles, and deepen your spiritual walk.
