It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!
We're learning a new way to pray and learn to use our minds to change our brains, and help us seek the abundance and peace Jesus promised us in John 10:10!
Today, we take the ABIDE practice one level deeper, and learn a self-brain surgery operation that will help us become healthier, feel better, and be happier in any area of our lives. Neuroscience and faith smash together hard in this one!

Erin Loechner had a million followers on social media. She was at the top of her game as an influencer when she realized that something was very wrong. Join me for a compelling conversation with Erin about why she decided to walk away from that career, and from social media altogether, to start a new life with her husband and kids as an Opt-Out Family.
Her new book, The Opt-Out Family: How to Give Your Kids What Technology Can't is an incredibly important new idea for families, parents, and grandparents. 
From Amazon.com
Discover a new and hopeful path forward as you consider your family's approach to social media, screen time, and technology.
We've all heard the mind-boggling statistics about technology and social media use. The numbers don't lie; our obsession with smartphones and social media is slowly eroding the very essence of our homes and families. We see it. We feel it. We know it.So what do we do about it?
Spoiler alert: Forget parental control apps, time limits, or reward charts. This revolutionary path takes us into the heart of the beast itself: the social media algorithm. Former social media influencer and trailblazer Erin Loechner has seen the perks and pitfalls of social media usage, and she knows how to hack the strategies of tech wizards and platform experts so you can borrow their billion-dollar playbook to engage your family in meaningful ways away from screens.
The Opt-Out Family is packed with eye-opening research and startling insights, as well as practical encouragement and creative ideas to transform your family's relationship with today's ever-evolving technology. As a result, you will:

Experience more quality time with your children that doesn't revolve around screensCreate healthy habits as a family that will set your children up for success in the futureDiscover what your kids actually need from you, and learn how to delight and engage them better than a device canAnd, ultimately, establish true and lasting influence within your own four walls--and far beyondThe Opt-Out Family unlocks a world where genuine connections flourish and technology takes a backseat. It's time to reclaim your home and build a tech-free family culture that's stronger than your Wi-Fi signal.
Erin Loechner is the founder of global tech-free movement The Opt-Out Family. She is a former social media influencer who walked away from a million fans to live a low-tech lifestyle—and is now teaching others how to do the same. Her cutting-edge work has been praised in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Huffington Post, as well as on the Today Show. When she’s not scrawling on her trusty steno pad, Erin, her husband, and their three kids spend their days chasing alpenglow, reading Kipling, and biking to town for more tortillas.
Check out Erin's website here to find a ton of helpful resources, statistics, and other information if you're considering making the opt-out decision for your family as well.

It's Frontal Lobe Friday!Today, a conversation with Dr. Josh Axe. He shares his powerful story of healing from a devastating infection, and we talk about how you can learn to change your mind with his incredible new book, the New York Times bestseller, Think This, Not That: 12 Mindshifts to Breakthrough Limiting Beliefs and Become Who You Were Born to Be.
About Dr. Axe:Renowned physician, entrepreneur (founder of Ancient Nutrition) and best-selling author Dr. Josh Axe is revolutionizing how we look at collective health, both through his podcast and through his social channels ( 3.7 million combined followers; 2.2 million YouTube subscribers). He specializes in functional medicine, regenerative medicine and longevity. He also is a leadership expert, earning his Master's at Johns Hopkins University. 
From Amazon.Com:
Instant New York Times BestsellerUnlock your potential by cultivating self-awareness and curating a fulfilling life full of self-improvement, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset. Leadership expert and entrepreneur Dr. Josh Axe teaches 12 revolutionary mindshift transformations to beat the grind and reach the life you've always wanted. Redefine success and replace the limiting beliefs of yourself with the healthy mental toughness to think this, not that.Perhaps you're busy but still feel empty. Maybe things haven't turned out how you'd hoped, and life seems stale and unfulfilling. What if you could wake up every morning excited about your purpose, knowing you're fulfilling your greatest potential?A more meaningful life is within your reach, and it starts in one place: your mind.Living with a mindset of false narratives will keep you stuck, locked in a prison of unpursued dreams and goals. But cultivating a new mindset based on what is actually true will set you free—free to start exploring and growing beyond the limits you thought you had.
In Think This, Not That, Dr. Josh Axe unpacks the top twelve mental barriers holding people back from realizing their potential and becoming the greatest version of themselves, and contrasts each one with a new empowering mindset, such as:

Don't simply drift; clarify your purpose.Don't define success based on what you accomplish; base it on who you become.Don't be the victim; be the hero.Don't be a slave to your vices; overpower them by building virtues.Don't live by popular opinion; follow enduring principles of wisdom.Don't allow unintentionality; visualize a strategy.Whether you want to improve your physical or financial health, raise the quality of your relationships, or take your career to new heights, these mindshifts will help transform your life.It's time to break through your limiting beliefs and find out who you can become, to build a meaningful life through new thoughts and actions, and to make the switch from what's stalled you toward a life of ultimate significance.3
