Choose 2 Think: Renew Your Mind. Live with Purpose.

Join me today as I discuss my struggle with worry and anxiety, specifically regarding my aging parents. I explore the negative effects of worrying on our bodies and identify five common triggers for anxiety.

I share 6 practical tips to deal with worry, including seeking God's guidance, practicing gratitude, and choosing thoughts carefully.

Throughout the episode, I provide personal examples and relevant Bible verses to encourage you to find peace, joy, and a healthier perspective in the midst of uncertainty.

I encourage you to make your own CAN / CAN'T CONTROL LIST and then to surrender those things you cannot control to God. He will do all the CARING and CARRYING for you!

This interview with Cristóbal Krusen will touch the deepest parts of your soul especially if you or someone you know has struggled with mental illness. We take a behind the scenes look at the full-length feature film LET ME HAVE MY SON for which Cris wrote the screenplay, directed, and played the leading role. The film offers a poignant message about breaking the stigma of mental illness and encourages you to become more compassionate and empathetic to those suffering from the clutches of mental disorders.

As the founder of Messenger Films (1988), Cris has worked as a writer/director of film and television ever since, helming productions in more than twenty countries. He is best known for Final Solution, More Than Dreams, Undaunted, Sabina K. and most recently, Let Me Have My Son. Over the last several years, Cristóbal has also begun fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a writer. He is the author of Undaunted, They Were Christians, and Let Me Have My Son.

Working in multiple languages as a filmmaker, Cristóbal is known for a poetic visual style and the ability to draw intimate performances from actors. Above all, he is a “storyteller” who delights to engage his audience while addressing the deepest needs of the human heart.

ABOUT THE FILM LET ME HAVE MY SON:

This is the storyline of Let Me Have My Son (formerly titled The Puzzle Factory), a semi-autobiographical, emotion-laden tale of a father coming to grips with his son’s devastating mental illness. The topic could not be timelier; the National Institute of Mental Health reports that fully 1 out of 5 of our nation’s children now suffer from debilitating mental disorders.

Let Me Have My Son is based on the true story of the writer-director’s compelling journey with his firstborn son, Daniel, as told in the book of the same title. Principal photography for this feature film has been completed and post-production is well underway.

Did you know that one in five Americans is adversely affected by mental health conditions? In all likelihood, someone you know is among that number. Partner with Messenger Films to help start a movement addressing people’s spiritual, mental, and physical needs in the area of mental health. The opportunity to increase mental health awareness is now!

Everything you think is not necessarily TRUE.

Resisting your negative thoughts and all out rejecting any lies you may be believing is the 2nd R in the 7 R's for Living Your Best Thought Life!

How might you do this?

Ask yourself:

By challenging negative thoughts, you can start to break their hold on you and develop more realistic and positive ways of thinking.

Isn't it time to honor God with your thinking? Don't play on Satan's team any more or come into agreement with what he says!

Tune in for details on rejecting toxic thoughts! Do you relate to the story told at the beginning?
