If all your thoughts on any given day were recorded and transcribed, how would it read?
More importantly, how would those thoughts line up with Scripture? Would you be able to flip open your Bible and say, “Yep, this is a truth!” or would you more likely struggle to find a biblical principle that supports that way of thinking?
With as much time as I spend teaching the Word, it really is amazing how often I find my thoughts filled with shame messages shaping a twisted perspective about who I am in Christ and how God’s promises are as true for me as they are for you. Maybe you feel the same way too.
Well, friend, it’s time to circle the wagons on our thought life and carve out a new way of thinking and therefore living. Join me for this episode of the More to Be Podcast as we study Romans 8 together. This powerful chapter paints a picture of what it means to think biblically and live transformed as an overflow of belonging to Christ. Sister, we don’t have to be dominated by the flesh, for the invitation stands before us to be led by the Spirit, embracing our full identity as God’s beloved child and experiencing the overwhelming victory secured for us by Christ.
By the way, this episode is part of the Let Go and Live: A Vision for Breakthrough Bible study, which you can get access to as a member of the Sisterhood. If you would prefer to watch a video of this episode instead of listening to it (hello, learning styles) and download all the related study resources, join us in the Sisterhood.

Get Access to the Bible Study
The Let Go & Live Bible study is designed to help you discover how to apply biblical principles alongside practical tips for addressing emotional wellbeing so that you can show up in your relationships, work, and ministry without the triggers getting the best of you.
Each month you can listen to the Let Go and Live episode on the More to Be Podcast or watch the teaching video in the Sisterhood, and then use the resources (accessible exclusively in the Sisterhood) to dive deeper into Scripture and to help you apply the principles to your relationship with God and others. In the Sisterhood, you’ll find these Let Go & Live resources, plus hundreds of others:
- Let Go & Live Printable
- Let Go & Live Bible Verses
- Podcast Reflection Guide
- Audio Recording and/or Video Teaching
- Let Go & Live Scripture Writing Worksheet
- Let Go & Live Prayer Journaling Worksheet
- Let Go & Live Wellbeing Guide
- Scripture Screensavers
You might be wondering how this study could fit into your life? It’s as flexible as it can be. At the beginning of each month, you’ll get the content through the Sisterhood and then you can set aside a few hours a month (yep, a month, not a week) to study the key passage and embrace the process of Scripture memory, prayer, and reflection.
So what are you waiting for?
This is the year, sister, to let go of whatever is holding you back from the life God designed for you to live — a life in which you become brighter and more beautiful, more like Jesus, through a fresh encounter with Him and His Word.
