In Episode 8, Caroline sits down with Brooke Lovingood, Women's Ministry Director at Watkinsville First Baptist Church. Brooke is married to Tyler and is a proud new mom to 10-month-old Ella. As a mom and ministry lead, Brooke's days revolve around caring for her daughter and passionately supporting women in the local church. She dedicates herself to equipping and encouraging women and making a meaningful daily impact in her community. Whether navigating motherhood, ministry, or daily anxieties, this episode invites you to deepen your trust in God and gain a renewed sense of strength and clarity when managing your thoughts.

You’ll Learn:

• Brooke's experience with cancer at a young age and her battle with anxiety and fear.

• Common obstacles we face in the pursuit of renewing our minds.

• 5 habits to successfully renew your mind and take captive anxious thoughts.

Key Takeaways:

• A renewed mind can only happen if you figure out the pattern in your thoughts.

• Sometimes, there is pressure to have dedicated quiet time with the Lord in the morning, but it can often be unrealistic (especially if you have young kids). We can use our "middle minutes" to focus our hearts and minds on Christ in those in-between moments.

• God is most glorified in our weakness, not our strength because our weakness causes us to depend on Him.

Scriptures Mentioned:

Psalm 51:1-2: “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.”

Matthew 10:29-33: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.”
