Artwork for the class Winning the War in Your Mind

Our thoughts are powerful. They shape our perspective, steer our decisions, and settle into habits — sometimes without our permission. And when negative, unhealthy thinking digs in, it can feel like there’s no way out. This September we’re giving four Wednesday nights to learning what it means to take our thoughts captive and win the war in our minds.

Each week Jan will lead us through a video teaching from Pastor Craig Groeschel of Life.Church, and then we’ll talk it through together around the tables. Nothing fancy — dinner at 6:00, teaching and honest conversation from 6:30 to 7:45, done in time to get kids to bed.

Miss a week? It’s all here. Each week’s page has the teaching video, the discussion questions, and a guide you can download — so you can catch up at home, go deeper on something that stuck with you, or come back to it long after the class wraps up.
