About this episode
Every man fights invisible battles—fear, self-doubt, shame, and the lies he tells himself over and over about who he is and what he is good at. In this episode, John Heinen sits down with Devin Schadt to expose the real front line of spiritual warfare and personal growth: your thoughts.
Together, they unpack how negative thinking becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, why social media magnifies feelings of inadequacy, and how unchecked mental habits shrink your brain and strangle your soul. With raw honesty and practical wisdom, John and Devin walk through a three-step battle plan rooted in Scripture and backed by neuroscience-to help you take control of your thoughts, hold them captive, and experience the freedom, success, and joy God intends for your life.
As Devin says, “The very fact that those thoughts make you feel bad… is proof that you’re good.” This episode will equip you to stop living in fear and start thinking with clarity, truth, and power.
