Note: This is a guest post by a young friend of mine who has been truth journaling for several years. Be sure to read all of her thoughts down the left side of her truth journal chart. I wrote this in the cafeteria my freshman year in college – on a piece of scrap paper […]
Truth Journaling: The List Method
Today I’d like to show you another way to truth journal. It’s called the list method. Instead of writing out your thoughts, you begin by asking yourself a question: What am I believing that’s making me not want to work on my goal? Or what am I believing that’s making me want to do my […]
Truth Journaling
Today I want to dive into our first renewing of the mind tool. It’s called truth journaling, and many of you are already familiar with this tool from my Bible Study Freedom from Emotional Eating. Truth journaling is a practice that sprang out of a little self-improvement project I started ten years ago. I was […]
Refining Your Goal
Hi everyone, I’m back from a week of camping and hiking with my family (like my hair after five days without a shower?) and ready to get started on my new renewing of the mind project. Here it is: Make a daily list and renew my mind every time I don’t feel like doing the […]

A Renewing of the Mind Project
It looks like I’ll have to keep posting any Bible studies or worksheets over at my other blog until I can figure out how to transfer Word documents directly to WordPress (if it can be figured out!). For today’s post, click here.

Not a drop of light anywhere. You’re standing there with a stack of papers in your hand. […]
A Love Grown Cold: Bible Study

A Love Grown Cold
It’s been forty years since I prayed the sinner’s prayer, but I still remember the beauty of the moment. It felt like God was wrapping me up in a blanket of love. I was at a David Wilkerson crusade, down on the stage with a bunch of kids who were emptying their pockets of drug […]
