Who are they? What do they believe? What values are they reinforcing?

What books, novels, magazines, articles, and blogs are you reading?

What sermons, lessons, radio, and podcasts are you listening to?

What movies, TV shows, video lessons, and reels are you watching?

How much time do you spend on these compared to the things of God?

All these influence your thinking. Many times, they are shaping your thoughts more than the amount of Bible you read and the sermons you listen to each week.

If I took all the information and entertainment that was poured into your mind, heart, and soul this week, what conclusions could I develop about you? Would I see that you are walking in the way of Jesus?

Your thoughts come from somewhere, and someone, so you have to ask, “Is that someone I want to become?” because their voice is shaping your life.
