Rewire Your Mind: The Power of God's Word | Chad Johnson

March 9, 2026

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue."

Guest speaker Chad Johnson brings a raw and passionate message about the transformative power of God's Word. Drawing on his daily experience training horses, Chad explains how we must actively retrain our own minds to break free from fear, anxiety, and old habits.

Using the simple metaphor of an apple and its seed, he breaks down how the Word of God is the only seed that can produce the true fruit of the Spirit in our lives. If you want to change what you are producing, you have to change what you are planting. Pastor Jeremy closes the night with a strong reminder that God's Word must be the final authority in everything we do.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Power of Confession: What you speak over your life dictates your direction.
2. The Seed Metaphor: You cannot produce lasting fruit without the Word planted deep in your heart.
3. Guarding Your Inputs: How to protect the Word using your mouth, eyes, ears, and mind.
4. Discipline: Growth requires the discipline to stay in the Word even when you do not feel like it.
