An algorithm is a set of sequential steps and processes that should be followed to solve a problem. As followers of Jesus, our algorithm is the Word of God, not the opinions of people or the ideology of our culture. It takes intentional discipline on our part to think differently, and Dr. Randal Langley shares why biblical thinking should be the benchmark and standard for all areas of life.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Your life will flow in the direction of your dominant thoughts, so you’d better be sure you’re thinking the right things if you want your life to go in the right direction! Too many Christians are suffering from a case of spiritual amnesia. Stress or trauma has caused them to lose their true identity, and they have spent years of their lives trying to figure out who they really are.
Don’t let the world squeeze you into its mold. True identity is not found in the world or in the opinions of others; it’s found in the Word of God and what He says about us! We must think biblically first, not emotionally, politically or otherwise.
