Choosing to Rise - Episode 3: The Voice in Your Head Doesn't Always Tell the Truth
Negative thoughts. Inner critic. Spiritual growth.
In Episode 3 of Choosing to Rise: A Podcast About Growth, Faith, and Transformation, Dr. Carolyn Kennedy reveals why the voice in your head doesn’t always tell the truth — and what to do about it.
Through her unique “spider-thinking” metaphor, Carolyn explores how worry, perfectionism, and comparison can spin webs of self-doubt. But here’s the truth: not every thought deserves a seat at your table. Drawing from scripture, personal stories, and soul-deep reflection, this episode offers practical tools to help you take every thought captive and speak God’s truth over the lies.
📖 Bible Verse:
“We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)
