Anchor Thoughts
It's Mental Health Awareness Month. On Mornings with Tom and Tabi the conversation surrounds dealing with anxiety and depression. Tabi leads a discussion on a strategy known as 'anchor thoughts.' These are thoughts or phrases that are based in truth that you can choose to focus on, rather than the issue facing you. She provides practical tips to help you implement this strategy to help you take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

Brant points out six decisions to make which will set them apart from others and help them become the young men we need.

When The Back-Up Plan Takes Center Stage
Joseph Wingfield serves on the Citizen's Committee of the Chattanooga Area Leadership Prayer Breakfast. He also served as the back-up person for the Keynote Speaker, should that person not be able to perform. Joseph wasn't worried because in the over 40-year history of the Prayer Breakfast, the speaker always made the event. Until 2022. That was the first time the back-up speaker, Joseph, was thrust onto center stage.
Countries of Particular Concern

Lee Truax, executive director of Disciplemaking Mission, has devoted much of his life toward teaching others about the importance of discipleship. Lee says it's basically just relationship (sometimes messy) with truth spoken into it. Learn more about how to disciple and be discipled at https://disciplemakingmission.org/.
