Bob Hamp is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, author, and founder of Think Differently Academy, and in this episode he delivers one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations ever featured on Headsmack.

Blending neuroscience, change theory, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and kingdom theology, Bob explains why most personal growth fails, why religion often produces shallow solutions, and how true life change happens at the level of thought process, paradigms, and the heart—not willpower or behavior modification.

You don’t need better thoughts.
You need a different thought process.

Freedom isn’t fixing your life.
Freedom is becoming yourself.

Most people are solving the wrong problem.
Jesus didn’t come to fix behavior.

This episode will mess with your categories—in the best way.

This is a conversation about identity, freedom, and learning how to live from the Tree of Life instead of the Tree of Knowledge.
