THE PROOF THAT MAKES TRUTH AND FAITH STRONG By Durrell Dixon | Faith-Based Personal Development Coach & Christian Psychology Advocate Truth and faith operate on Subjective (Internal) and Objective (External) Proof Truth and faith don't live on feelings alone—and they do not rest on facts alone either. Truth and faith operate on both subjective and objective proof. We need both types of proof working together to make the truth and faith strong. When one is missing, faith and holding on to truth become either emotionally fragile or spiritually hindered. But when both are present, holding on to faith and the truth becomes anchored, confident, and unshakable. In simple terms, one form of proof tells you what God has done in you, and the other tells you what God has done in the world. Together, they form a complete structure of belief—one that can withstand storms of doubt, pain, delay, and uncertainty. Subjective Proof: What You Know on the Inside Subjective proof is based...
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE A MORE ABUNDANT LIFE?    By Durrell Dixon | Faith-Based Personal Development Coach & Christian Psychology Advocate What Jesus Really Meant When He Said “Life More Abundantly” When Jesus said, “I have come that they may have  life, and have it more abundantly  (John 10:10) ,” He wasn’t painting a picture of material excess or a life padded with comfort. He was inviting us into a deeper, Spirit-filled way of living—a life rooted in Him. A life that transforms how we think, how we feel, and how we respond to the world around us. The kind of life that can withstand storms because its strength comes from God, not circumstances. The word Jesus uses in John 10:10 is zoē —God’s own life. Not biological life ( bios ), not psychological life ( psuchē ), but the supernatural life that flows from God’s presence and fills every part of your being. Zoē is the life that restores your soul, reshapes your identity, and rebuilds what the enemy tried to st...
HOW DO YOU HANDLE OFFENSE WHEN IT CONTINUES TO GO ON By Durrell Dixon | Faith-Based Personal Development Coach & Christian Psychology Advocate                                                                      The Purpose Behind Slow and Painful Experiences God sometimes leads us into offensive experiences —those difficult, frustrating seasons that seem to drag on forever. He already knows we’d rather avoid them, yet He uses them with divine intention. These experiences reveal what lies deep within our hearts: it could be a tendency to doubt Him, dependency on our own strength, or leaning more on our way than on the faith He gives us. Just as gold is refined through fire (1 Peter 1:7), our faith matures through slow, uncomfortable testing. In psychology, this process aligns with transformational resil...
ARE YOU TRAINING YOUR MIND FOR TRANSFORMATION  By Durrell Dixon | Faith-Based Personal Development Coach & Christian Psychology Advocate When Paul wrote,  “Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ”  (2 Corinthians 10:5), he was describing something both spiritual and psychological. Science now confirms what Scripture has always taught: what we repeatedly think about shapes who we become. Two key processes—rumination and neural sensitization—can either imprison us in cycles of negativity or free us to walk in joy, gratitude, and peace. Let’s explore how these processes work, what the Bible says about them, and how we can apply them for transformation. The Power of Rumination:  Rumination means replaying a thought, emotion, or memory over and over. It can feel like a record on repeat—“Why did this happen?” “What if I fail?” “What they did was unfair,” or " God is working this for my good."  "God's got this." "I am able" The Neg...
  CONTROLING YOUR DESIRES By Durrell Dixon | Faith-Based Personal Development Coach & Christian Psychology Advocate The Hidden Power Beneath the Surface Most psychologists agree that subconscious desires dominate human behavior more than conscious desires. While the conscious mind can set goals, the subconscious often holds the powerful, underlying motivations, emotions, and memories that truly drive one's actions and choices. When I reflect on this truth, I see the parallels in Scripture. The Bible repeatedly points out that what is hidden in the heart eventually shows up in a person’s life: Proverbs 23:7. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”  The subconscious is, in many ways, the heart that Scripture speaks of—the deep place where beliefs, emotions, and memories reside. And if that’s where our real power is, then it makes sense why transformation must begin there. Why the Subconscious Prevails The Conscious Mind is Slow and Limited The conscious mind is a...
