Renewed Minds & Transformed Hearts:
Understanding Our Thoughts and Emotions in Light of the Gospel

An Online Workshop | Saturday, October 25 | 10am–12pm EST | $20

Do you ever feel like your thoughts won’t stop running and your emotions keep pulling you in different directions? The world says to “follow your heart” or “think happy thoughts,” but those solutions only go so far.

The gospel invites us to a deeper way of living—where our hearts are renewed, our minds reshaped by truth, and our emotions become pathways to peace and intimacy with God.

In this 2-hour live workshop, biblical counselor, Ashlyn Lanni will invite us to gain biblical insight into understanding our thoughts and emotions for the glory of God, and provide simple tools to experience hope in the areas that might feel overwhelming.

We’ll cover:

  • The heart as the control center of life—why your thoughts and emotions matter so deeply to God.

  • Cultural lies vs. biblical truth—how messages like “be true to yourself” or “just think positive” fall short of the gospel.

  • The role of thoughts in shaping emotions and worship—and how to “take every thought captive” to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5).

  • God’s design for emotions—as signals that reveal what we love, fear, and value, and how to bring them into His presence.

  • Practical tools—simple, biblical steps to renew your mind and engage your emotions in ways that lead to deeper faith, freedom, and peace.

This isn’t about quick fixes or “positive vibes.” It’s about learning to walk with God in the very place where your mind and heart feel messy or overwhelming.Together, we’ll discover how to move from confusion to clarity, from self-reliance to surrender, and from cultural noise to the voice of Christ.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER

Ashlyn Lanni loves to see people's lives changed through the hope of Jesus Christ, as He has graciously changed her own. While experiencing hardship throughout her childhood, Ashlyn grew up believing that if there was a God, He was too distant or simply didn’t care. However, a personal encounter with Jesus while reading a Bible she purchased online radically transformed her heart, mind, and life during her young adult years.

Ashlyn holds a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with certifications in Biblical Counseling and Christian Trauma Care. She is also currently pursuing additional certification in Biblical Counseling through the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF). Ashlyn spent over 10 years working in higher education in administration, counseling, and teaching at the university level. She also served for several years in vocational ministry at her local church in Florida until God moved her to New Jersey, where she led women’s discipleship at Princeton University.

Ashlyn cherishes her roles as a wife and mother and spends her days providing virtual biblical counseling to women across the country and leading online Bible studies. She is passionate about helping women pursue the Word of God and apply its sufficiency to all of life. She believes that when women know the truth and believe the words of Jesus, He can turn sorrow into joy, tears into laughter, and death into resurrection.
