Yes.

Yes.

Yeah, that exactly that. That's the, that's the process. So I have an issue. Let's say I have, um, let's take something that's common. Someone has a pornography habit in addiction. Okay. So the first thing you do is say, thank God I'm equipped to get through this and not let this steal any of my joy or any of my peace. I immediately need to involve somebody else.

And accountability is wildly overrated. If the person lies to themselves, accountability is only as good as I'm honest. So I can meet with you every morning. Like I'm accountable. I had pure thoughts last night. Haven't looked at my computer, like, but I'm lying to myself. This is a waste of time.

I've already been honest with myself. I've already been honest with God. So now I can sit across from you and say, all right, Bryce, here's the truth. You know, this week had some huge misses in this area. And here's what I'm going to do about it. What do you see? How can you help me? Let's go with this plan. It's a plan of attack. It's not a plan of surrender. And I think there's a lot to that.

So for me, if you find something in your life, I immediately flip it. So if someone's like, I really struggle with negative thoughts. OK, cool. From this second on, let's think about how beautiful our mind is and how much power God's given us to renew our mind. Let's never think of it like that again. I struggle with bad thoughts. Okay.

Well, that entire strain of thinking will be defeated just like that. You'll be defeated. You'll be, you know, somebody who's kind of down a lot. But if you immediately switch and go, I have the power, Bryce, to think clear. And that's what I'm going to fight for. Here's how I'm going to do it. Negative thoughts doesn't even get in the sentence. Doesn't even get in your paragraph.

So it's a lot of... I think real, the essence of our faith is here. We look at kind of the actions of it and kind of what happens outside. And that's important. But Jesus was always looking at people's brains. Yeah. Always. And that's why even the essence of salvation is a brain move. Whoa. repent. That's a brain decision. Romans 12, renew your mind. That's a brain decision.
