About this episode

Rev. Linda L. Adkins discusses how thought patterns create strongholds and how God's Word can renew the mind.

In this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda L. Adkins continues her transformative teaching on the mind of Christ, revealing how our thought patterns can create strongholds that hold us captive—and how God’s Word renews, heals, and delivers the mind. She explains how repeated thoughts carve deep pathways in the brain that eventually shape our beliefs, emotions, and responses. These mental “ruts” can trap us in cycles of fear, offense, or victimhood—but through the Spirit of God, they can be torn down and replaced with truth. Using vivid examples from Scripture, including John the Baptist’s moment of doubt, the Red Sea crossing, and David’s victory over Goliath, Rev. Adkins shows that every believer faces defining moments: Will you live as a victim, or rise victorious through the mind of Christ?
