About this listen

Overcome bad thoughts and discover lasting inner health that transforms your life and faith by the renewing of your mind.

Your thoughts don't have to control you. You can control your thoughts—if you know how. And that's exactly what Judah Smith (New York Times bestselling author and popular pastor) and Les Parrott (New York Times bestselling author and trusted psychologist) will teach you.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, the principles of Christian formation, and their unique relationship as therapist and client, Smith and Parrott give you a fresh, easy-to-understand, and highly practical guide to curbing your compulsive negativity and finding inner health that lasts.

In this book, they dive into what they call the "Big 5"—the most commonly held self-destructive thoughts—revealing what they are, why they happen, and how you can overcome them. You'll be equipped to:

  • Let go of false guilt and discover the road to grace
  • Cure your disease to please and cultivate authentic relationships
  • Extinguish self-doubt and rekindle your confidence
  • Put pride in its place and embrace humility
  • Quit questioning your personal value and receive God's gift of love

Smith brings the sermon. Parrott brings the science. Together, they're dedicated to helping you retrain your brain and refresh your spirit.
