YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK: “Nine Levels of Thought that Make You YOU”, Lesson 1

God created you such that your brain has been going through a nine-step thought process since before you were born. It begins with information and culminates in making you the person you are. Understanding how your mind works allows you to take more control of the processes, direct them in a positive, God-honoring way, and become the best version of yourself that you can, for your good and His glory.
Lesson One: The Proverbs Triplet of Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom.
