    • 189: Want to Change Something in Your Life? Try These 5 Affirmations to Improve Brain Function & Give You HOPE for Your Future BRAIN POWER SERIES, Part 4

      Your brain believes what you tell it most and what you visualize the most! Every single day your body responds to your thoughts! Simply thinking about anything causes your brain to fire signals and to release neurotransmitters which control or impact bodily functions - even your emotions, moods, and mindsets!

      In a nutshell this is the essence of your brain’s neuroplasticity!

      This is the 4th video in our BRAIN POWER series that drops every Monday through December! And I am super pumped about today’s topic because it gets a lot of press these days: 

      It’s all about affirmations - And we’re gonna focus on affirmations in a godly sense! 

      What you say to yourself REALLY matters. Use these 5 POWERHOUSE AFFIRMATIONS plus check out 5 Benefits on today's show!

      THEME VERSE: 

      Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6-7

    • 187: Self-directed Neuroplasticity: Astounding Benefits of Rewiring Your Brain Guaranteed to Make You Happier Every Day! BRAIN POWER SERIES, Part 3

      Today, we’re gonna briefly tackle neuroplasticity or the scientific fact that it is NEVER too late to form new brain neurons and connections. 

      This means you don’t have to stay stuck in the same old moods, mindsets, or states of being. 

      You have considerable control over your feelings BUT if you are in negative think /feel loop, you’re gonna have to work hard to rewire your brain. 

      Essentially because you can think yourself sick, you can conversely think yourself well.

      Tune in to hear the many benefits of rewiring your brain with God-honoring thoughts!

      Be sure to get your devotional today so that you can start each day on the right thought!

    • 186: Start Your Day with Godly Devotion as Inspired by Don Hocker, author of Just Me, Lucy, and the Lord

      What an encouraging chat I had with Don. You're gonna love his heart for God and his stellar model of a man after God's own heart.  

      Tune in for reminders of just how important daily devotional time with God really is and how it impacts your life!   

      Don, a certified lay speaker in the Methodist church, has spent time in prayer and Bible study every morning for the past 11 years with his beloved dog, Lucy, at his feet. After the passing of Lucy, Don was inspired to write Just Me, Lucy, and the Lord, a 31-day devotional about the discipline of daily devotional time with God (link below).

      T R U S T   is everything!
