April 17, 2025 Who’s Sponsoring Your Thoughts? | Part 4
Every thought has a source—and the ones we entertain shape how we live, love, and relate to God. In this episode, Graham invites us to examine the origins of our thoughts and teaches us how to respond with peace, joy, and grace instead of reacting from fear or frustration. When we think with God, speculation gives way to clarity, and we begin to experience life through His eyes.

Key Scriptures:

+ 2 Corinthians 10:5. “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”

+ Philippians 4:8. “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.”

+ Romans 12:2. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

+ Galatians 5:22–23. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
