Your thoughts shape your life. Left unchecked, toxic thinking can pull you away from God’s truth, distort your perspective, and keep you stuck in defeat. But God’s Word shows us how to take control of our minds and walk in freedom.

In 2 Corinthians 10:3, Paul reminds us that though we live in the world, our weapons are not of the world—we have divine power to demolish strongholds in our thinking. And in Matthew 16:22, Peter’s misguided thoughts show how even good intentions can become toxic when they’re not aligned with God’s plan.
