Reform Your Mindset Summit
Change your Thoughts and Gain Interior Peace
Thursday, December 11 | 12 - 1:30 PM ET
Friday, December 12 | 12 -1:30 PM ET
The types of thoughts that we cultivate determine the kind of life that we live. How we look at reality, contemplate our circumstances, and consider our trials will either provide us with peace or anxiety.
Saint Paul reminds us that guarding our thoughts is vital for our well-being.
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things” (Phil 4:8).
Our thoughts have the power to produce peace in our hearts. If they do, they will radiate peace to others. Likewise, they have the power to create anxiety and discord. Learning to think as God thinks is one of Jesus’s most important messages to Saint Peter (Mt. 16:23).
He wants to help us do the same today.
The way we think is a learned habit and deeply ingrained in us. Thoughts come to us from a variety of places, including our experiences, the outside world, and our interior life. But God has given us the capacity to retrain the way our minds approach reality. We can observe our initial reactions and then consider alternate ways of approaching a given situation.
We should always consider how God sees the same set of circumstances. That is what our minds are ultimately made for.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
— Proverbs 3:5-6
We invite you to join us for this summit and learn how to reform your mindset so that you can find peace in all circumstances, nurture thoughts that are life-giving, and help you to more perfectly love as Christ loves.
