In many respects, identity can be classified as a mental concept that manifests in natural form. If we believe that we are hopeless, then we are indeed hopeless. But if we believe that there is always hope, then there is certainly always hope (Proverbs 23:7). If we can get our minds right, then there is a great possibility that the rest will follow in our lives. And so, in honor of gathering our thoughts, here are three devotionals that focus on identity and the mind.Â

Every Thought Captive (Bible Study) by Kyle Idleman
The mind has a way of racing ahead of our actions when we allow it to run wild.

Every Thought Captive by Kyle Idleman is a five-session Bible study meant to challenge you to be intentional about your thinking. This guide includes access to five streaming videos as well as personal study in between sessions and video notes for those looking to go deeper into the subject matter.Â
