The Prison Door Was Never Locked
What if the greatest limitation in your life isn't your circumstances, your past, or even other people-but the thoughts you've accepted as truth? Craig Groeschel discovered this the hard way. As the senior pastor of one of America's largest churches, he appeared to have it all together. Yet privately, he battled crippling anxiety, negative self-talk, and the haunting belief that he'd never measure up. His breakthrough came when he realized a startling truth: we live imprisoned by lies we've accepted as reality, much like a pastor who once stayed locked in a closet for hours, never realizing the door was unlocked the entire time. This revelation launched Groeschel on a journey combining ancient biblical wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience, resulting in a battle plan that's transformed thousands of lives. The premise is deceptively simple: our lives always move in the direction of our strongest thoughts. But implementing this truth? That requires understanding how to win the war raging in your mind.
