EPISODE OVERVIEW

Four Mindset Shifts to Help You Think Biblically

1. Shift your thoughts from passive to active. Our natural disposition is to seek comfort, but we can’t just sit around and do nothing and expect our minds to be transformed.
   • Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. — Romans 12:11 (NIV)
2. Shift your thoughts from concerned to confident. What you do with your worry is where the battle lies. You can’t stop worry from coming, but you can replace it with prayer or a proclamation of God’s truth.
   • Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. — Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)
3. Shift your thoughts from scarcity to abundance. Scarcity mentality is the belief that you will never have enough. An abundance mindset asserts that you have more than enough. It’s not about playing mind games or denying the facts, but instead looking past the facts and tapping into the supernatural, miracle-working provision and power of a mighty God.
   • The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. — Psalm 23:1 (NIV)
4. Shift your thoughts from can’t to can. God will move mountains and provide everything you need to do what he has called you to do and be who he has called you to be.
   • I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. — Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV)
