Discover how to break free from the chains of negative thinking and experience true freedom from unhealthy thoughts and emotions.
The Enemy is constantly seeking to fill your mind with destructive and harmful thoughts – whether of fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, envy…. It’s all too easy for Satan to manipulate his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and Jesus, and to try making himself at home in your mind. It’s an ongoing battle, but one you can win!
In Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, best-selling author and pastor Louie Giglio shares practical ways to overcome the Enemy’s lies and instead find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. By drawing from Psalm 23 as a framework, he offers biblical insight on how to:
- Cancel the lies that will wreck your life.
- Take empowering steps to live fully alive in Christ.
- Stop the spiral of shame, temptation, and insecurity.
- Restore peace and rest in your life.
- Embrace the true purpose behind your journey through challenging circumstances.
- Break free from the endless cycle of destructive thinking.
You can find freedom from the war inside your mind – if you allow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to lead the battle. Learn how to find encouragement, hope, and strength no matter what valleys you face. It’s time to reject the lies and listen to the truth.

(NASHVILLE, TN) — Authors Paul and Arlene Samuels are illuminating the voices of bipolar and other mental illnesses in their new book, Mental Health Meltdown. The groundbreaking book features theirs and thirty-five other first-person stories available everywhere from HigherLife Publishing.
Leading the way, the authors exclaim that a psychiatrist’s diagnosis of Paul with Bipolar 2 at age 55 and medication was “one of the best days of our lives.”
Married for almost five decades, Arlene writes as a loved one affected by mental illness by providing guidance to others in similar situations. “Most marriages face problems,” writes Arlene. “Often, feelings of love disappear. Outrageous commitment must kick in when feelings desert us.”
In the pages of Mental Health Meltdown, readers identify with varied voices of people affected: spouses, children, and the diagnosed person. The book portrays the dilemmas from a mental illness. Some are solved, while others are not. Yet all the contributors affirm that there is hope. The contributors are not psychiatrists, yet their experiences help the reader recognize symptoms, seek diagnosis, adjust to the impact, and most importantly hold on to hope.
Paul is quick to say, “No one chooses a mental illness – or a physical disability. The stories educate others to help erase cultural stigmas.” Paul and Arlene are hopeful that Mental Health Meltdown will help the public view mental illnesses with the same compassion offered to those with physical illnesses.

(NASHVILLE, TN) — CCM Magazine, the preeminent voice of the Christian music scene, has been acquired from Salem Media Group by Logan and Amanda Sekulow. Plans for a full brand relaunch will be announced at a later date, however new content will begin immediately at CCMmagazine.com, YouTube and social media platforms.
The new owners will be creating a network of exclusive content with an expansive editorial and digital team, including streaming video, podcasts and much more.
“CCM has decades of incredible archives and we are diving in,” says Logan Sekulow. “We grew up on CCM and it’s time to give proper respect to the history of the genre and to those that got us here.”
Originally founded in 1978, the iconic music publication was the first to coin the phrase “CCM” for Contemporary Christian Music which had previously been known simply as “Jesus Music.” As the Contemporary Christian Music scene mushroomed into a billion dollar industry, “Christian music” became widely regarded as an actual genre, even though it included rock, pop, hip-hop, punk, metal and other styles of music.
“Salem and the Sekulow family have worked together for more than 30 years,” says David P. Santrella, Chief Executive Officer at Salem Media Group. “As Salem focuses more on the audiences related to our Christian Teaching and Talk and our News Talk content, we’re thrilled to put CCM Magazine into the hands of a passionate and capable group that will grow and maintain the integrity of the product.”
“We look forward to partnering with and showcasing Christian media and creators in all forms,” says Amanda Sekulow. “We believe the future is very bright for Christian media. We have seen amazing creators arrive to the scene and CCM Magazine will once again be the premier outlet to showcase how God is moving in creative ways. The new era begins now.”
