Are you losing sleep over political tensions? Has concern turned into obsession? In this candid episode, Dr. Randy Turpin addresses a crisis many believers face but few acknowledge: being consumed by perceived opposition rather than filled with the Holy Spirit.

Dr. Turpin explores the spiritual cost of fixating on adversaries—whether political figures, cultural movements, or ideologies—and how this obsession robs us of peace, damages relationships, weakens our witness, and displaces our focus from Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:5, Philippians 4:6-7, and Colossians 3:1-2, he offers a biblical pathway from captivity to freedom.

Key Topics:

• Recognizing when concern becomes unhealthy fixation
• The spiritual cost of outrage-driven living
• Why our citizenship in heaven changes everything
• Practical steps to break free from mental captivity
• The radical discipline of blessing those you oppose

If you're exhausted from the constant battle, this episode offers a different way—one that leads back to the peace that passes understanding and the One who truly holds all things together.

"Whatever dominates your thought life is what you're worshiping."
