#18 You Are Not Your Thoughts: Breaking Free from the Inner Critic
Manage episode 495666655 series 3660679
What if the thoughts in your head aren’t actually you?
So many believers are walking in condemnation, not because they’re sinning—but because they believe every thought that pops into their head is them. A lustful thought. A shameful memory. A mental image they didn’t ask for. And suddenly, they’re spiraling.
In today’s solo episode, Richard Young breaks down one of the most powerful mindset shifts in the journey to freedom from pornography and shame:
You are not your thoughts.
Just like you aren’t your kidneys or your heartbeat, you’re not your brain’s random mental noise. You’re the observer. And once you stop taking every thought personally, freedom becomes your new normal.
Inside this episode:
- Why Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount don’t mean every lustful thought is your identity
- How to separate random brain static from the real “you” in Christ
- The science of inputs and how years of porn exposure still echo—but don’t define you
- A simple mindset shift that defuses shame and puts you back in control
- How we help men in our coaching program take thoughts captive without legalism or fear
If your thought life has been the final stronghold keeping you in shame, this episode is your jailbreak.
