Do you wake up to the same negative thoughts every morning? Thoughts like "I'm not enough," "This will never change," or "I'm too broken"? You're not alone, and those thought patterns aren't permanent.
In this episode, we explore the story of the woman who bled for 12 years - a woman whose thought patterns ran deep from isolation, suffering, and disappointment. We'll see how one desperate touch changed everything, and how Jesus rewrites our thought patterns with His truth.
In This Episode, You'll Discover:
- Why negative thought patterns feel so permanent (and why they're not)
- How God's Word creates new neural pathways in your brain
- The bleeding woman's story from Mark 5 and what it teaches us about transformation
- The Joy Practice: A 4-step biblical tool for rewiring anxious thinking
- How to receive joy instead of trying to manufacture it
- Why gratitude + God's Word = brain change
The Joy Practice (4 Steps):
- Name your thought rut - write down the sentence your brain offers regularly
- Find a Scripture that speaks truth to that lie
- Practice gratitude - write three specific things you're thankful for today
- Rest in your joy - write one way you see God at work
Key Scriptures:
- Isaiah 61:3 - "To give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit"
- Mark 5:25-34 - The woman who touched Jesus' garment

- You struggle with repetitive negative thoughts
- You've been stuck in the same thought patterns for years
