Some thoughts quietly follow us through the day. They sit in the background of our minds while we work, drive, or try to sleep. Over time, those thoughts can slowly shift from small worries into heavy fears. And before long, we start believing things that simply aren’t true.In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson shares a simple, practical way to break the stronghold of negative, fearful thinking through what he calls a “Truth vs. Lies” strategy.

It’s a battle report from everyday life — and a simple approach you can try this week if your thoughts have been drifting toward fear, discouragement, or anxiety.Ken walks through a practical “whiteboard” method that helps separate what fear says from what is actually true.

Some weeks begin with a quiet sense of pressure. Something important has been left too late. The task is still sitting there, but now it’s wrapped in guilt, frustration, and that heavy feeling that you should have handled things better.It’s a familiar experience for many people. The work itself might not even be the hardest part — sometimes it’s the shame and self-criticism that drains the energy needed to move forward.In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson gently explores how God’s grace meets us even in moments of poor time management and procrastination.

Why does putting things off make life heavier? Not because of a crisis or a major problem… but because small things have been sitting in the background of your mind all week.
