Going Dark Challenge Podcast

Join me as I go through my 5 day Going Dark Challenge. I talk about Priorities, Routines, Execution, Reflection, and the Self Discipline that comes with taking a few minutes out of our day and the courage to accept the challenge that stands in front of you.

Mark Batterson walks us through a story about Benaiah who literally chases a lion into a pit and comes out victorious. He challenges us not to be the believers that are constantly worried about not sinning, but rather look for opportunities to be God's hands and feet. By Going Dark and breaking communication with the world around us. We can free ourselves up to the opportunities God puts in front of us. So when opportunity does creep up on us. We will be the ones chasing the lion.

What do you do the second you don't have anything to do? Surveys have shown that people would rather do something destructive rather than be alone with their thoughts. In a world that is becoming more and more reliant on electronics stimuli such as social media and apps to fill every need including our communication needs. Meeting together with people has almost become a thing of the past. Much less stopping for any amount of time to spend time with God. Join me this week as we conclude a two study in Dr. Caroline Leaf's Think, Learn, Succeed as we talk about the dangers of not controlling our thoughts and the importance of taking every thought captive to the obedience of God. Rejecting toxic thought patterns and accepting good ones.

Join me as I merely review the first chapter of Dr. Caroline Leaf's book Think, Learn, Succeed: Where we discuss the importance of having a positive mindset vs a negative mindset. Well dig deeper and talk about What happens When you think , Genetic Expression and Mindful Thinking, and even talk about how our minds are Wired for Love. As I share some of my personal experiences with anxiety how Social Media, Video Games, and Life can take over in a second. How I was able to find strength and comfort by seeking solitude in Christ and Challenging you to Go Dark. Removing all the static noise that can be found in a busy lifestyle and developing a private line of communication with you and God.
