Influence and discernment

Take Possession of Your Mind

Explore how conversations, media, and repeated habits can influence us—and how discernment, boundaries, and deliberate choices can help us direct our attention.

3:36 · Includes opening and closing disclosures

What we receive can shape what we carry. Take Possession of Your Mind explores influence, offer and acceptance, and the practice of discernment through the Resonance Model. Notice what a message invites. Compare it with the teachings of Jesus Christ, correct your course, and cultivate prayer, scripture, gratitude, service, and healthy relationships. Being affected is not the same as agreeing; taking possession of your mind can include seeking help and setting boundaries.

Follow the ideas further.

Receive thoughtfully

Encouragement can strengthen hope; repeated contention can deepen distress. The film uses the model’s language of Combine and Compound to examine what we receive, repeat, and practice.

Discern without surrendering agency

An invitation is not a command. Popularity and authority do not make every message true. Being affected by pressure or manipulation is not the same as consenting to it.

Compare, correct, and cultivate

Examine the message and the actions it encourages. Prayer, scripture, gratitude, service, and trustworthy relationships can support deliberate choices and a continuing return to Christ.
