Pastor and author John Stange on Wake Up Right

John Stange joined Tim and Doug on Wake Up Right on September 7 to share about his new book, Dwell on These Things. A former staff member at WRGN, John is now a pastor, author, and podcaster and he recently wrote a devotional Dwell on These Things so you can learn how to fill your mind with encouraging, life-enriching truths. Dwell on These Things is a gospel-saturated, thirty-one-day challenge that can help you replace a destructive mindset with a positive, empowering, and godly one.

Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things.

Listen in on this great conversation with Pastor John Stange!

About the Book

Change your life by changing the messages that enter your mind! Learn to see yourself through God’s eyes by spending thirty-one days feeding your heart a new, biblical message of encouragement.

Every day, our hearts and minds fill with messages—about ourselves, the world, and God—that we replay again and again. Some of these messages are accurate and helpful. Others run counter to truths that God wants us to understand and embrace.

Thankfully, you don’t have to live at the mercy of whatever thought pops into your mind. In fact, you can choose exactly which messages you wish to repeat and believe.

  • Replace feelings of discouragement with a sense of God’s goodness.

  • Practice seeing yourself in the loving way God sees you.

  • Exchange negative self-talk for positive biblical messages.

  • Learn to face the day with hope in your heart.

There’s no need to remain stuck thinking unhelpful thoughts. Learn how you can fill your mind with encouraging, life-enriching truths through a gospel-saturated, thirty-one-day challenge that can help you replace a destructive mindset with a positive, empowering, and godly one.
