The classes were held for a women’s ministry under a Calvary Chapel Church. I want to add a little caveat here-where I attended the classes is not my home Church. So this book took me a lot longer to critique because of the 6-week classes I attended. I decided for this critique, to attend the classes along with reading the book. Because of this, these types of studies are bought in bulk by Churches, to which the laity then purchases the book and attends the weekly study in Sunday School or separate Ministry classes. Miss Allen makes a claim that this is a Bible study or at least a study in the book of Philippians.
Her book claims to be a study in Philippians accomplished in six sessions. Experts believe this difference arises from a combination of hormonal fluctuations, brain chemistry and upbringing: women more often feel responsible for the happiness of others, such as their children or their spouse.”( article titled: “anxiety disorders more common in women”-July 1st 2013).Īnd this is why Jenny Allen wrote her study “Get Out of Your Head: A Study in Philippians”. Scientific states: “The lifetime rate of diagnosis of anxiety disorders is higher in women, with 33 percent experiencing an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, as compared with 22 percent of men. And this is also why women have a higher rate of being diagnosed with anxiety than men do. And women are especially prone to this due to our relational nature, and the hormonal by-products of our body.
Or perhaps it can mean you over think things, or are ruled by fear and anxiety.Įverybody experiences negative thoughts about themselves, about others, about life, and about the world in general. But I will leave that discussion for a following episode.īut I think When people talk about getting out of your head or being in your head it implies that you are thinking negative thoughts, which affect your mood and behavior, that you should get rid of. In fact all of Psalm 119 is about God’s Word and how it sanctifies and causes us to walk in faith, in righteousness, in humility, in joy, etc. Now I read this section of Psalms 119 to show how meditating on God’s law and His Word benefited the Psalmist. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding therefore I hate every false way. I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me. I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word. I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. As a Christian woman, I’m thinking (is this a bad thing that I’m thinking since it is in my head…?) I’m thinking… well, by that definition being in my head doesn’t seem so bad especially, if I were to say that I WANT to constantly be thinking about Christ and God’s Word.
#Get out of your head bible study free
So I asked the world’s Bible -Google-what it means to get out of your head- “idioms by the free says getting out of your head means- manage to forget someone or something to stop thinking about or wanting someone or something. What does that mean? What does it mean that you’re in your head? What does that look like? How do you get out of your head what does that look like? Anybody ever tell you to “get out of your head”?
