Episode 250: Tame Your Thoughts | Max Lucado

Hole In My Heart Podcast

Friday, November 21, 2025 - 50 minutes

People have 70,000 thoughts per day and about 80% of them are negative.

What is that doing to our emotional health? What is that doing to our actions? How is that affecting our very DNA?

Global bestselling author and pastor, Max Lucado, is here to help us understand not only the science behind our thoughts but the heart beneath them. 

How can we “take every thought captive?”

How does something like anxiety and depression factor in?

Is this just plastering a smile on a bad day or a rough life?

Let’s talk about it all.
