Week 1: Introduction — The Problem Is in Your Head

1.Allen opens by describing a moment of personal crisis — a spiral of dark, anxious thoughts that she couldn't seem to stop. Have you ever experienced a thought spiral like the one she describes? What triggered it, and how did it end?

2.Allen argues that the enemy's primary strategy against believers is not external — it's internal. He wants to "get in your head." How does this reframe the way you have typically thought about spiritual attack?

3.She presents Romans 12:2 — "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" — as the foundation for the entire book. In your own words, what do you think it means to have your mind "renewed"? Is this something that happens to you, or something you participate in?
