What negative thoughts are messing with you?
Using the truth of scripture, the how of neuroscience
Get control of your thoughts
In Romans 12:2 we are told:
"Don't be conformed to this world
(your life before Christ, the messages of the culture)
but be transformed
(be more like Jesus)
by the renewal of your mind"
(changing the way you think)
If transformation happens by changing the way we think, how does that happen? Neurobiologists have proof that we can rewire our brain. When we consistently change our thoughts our brains adapt to take on this new way of thinking. Something that our Creator has been telling us for thousands of years.
Changing our thoughts, one at a time, is our choice. That's our part. God brings the deep inner work of making this our new normal. It is a life-long process of becoming more and more like Jesus.
The great news is that you can start seeing results rather quickly. This is the area that I support clients in. You learn to recognize your thoughts and choose if they are worth keeping or not. We implement tools and strategies to quickly separate, address and keep or replace the thoughts. Consistency is key. The truth replaces lies in our mind and our brain adapts.
How we think impacts every part of our life. As we train our minds to think according to the truth our view of ourselves, our view of others and our view of God gets aligned with truth instead of the lies that try to control us and mess up our lives. We experience the power of life in Christ.

Simple-yes Easy-no
But we were never promised easy.
And when you think about it, going from an unfiltered mind that allowed all kinds of thoughts to take up residence in our brain to having the mind of Christ, well that's a feat. Some amazing work of rebirth and transformation happens when we first repent-which literally means a change of mind. When we decide that God is God after all and we are not. And that He is worthy of our love and gratitude. That He is worthy of the effort to get to know Him.
And then we enter into the process of transformation. Some people stop here and figure good enough is good enough. But that is not scriptural. Our Christian walk is described in the Bible as warfare, as a race, as us being a living sacrifice.
As we walk the path of transformation we get to experience growth and positive change in every area of our lives. There is joy and lightness in the wins!
There are also times when it gets really, really hard to continue to make the choices that will renew our minds. That's where a coach, a spiritual mentor can be a tremendous help.
I would love to support you to greater victories in the battles taking place in your mind. Together we will share the joy of you gaining greater intimacy with Jesus.
By consistently making choices for renewal we rewire our brain. The scientific data shows it. God has been telling us this for thousands of years.
Imagine being free of the thoughts and resulting actions that leave you feeling defeated. Like you will never get it right. Feeling like this cloud of guilt will always be with you. These thoughts rob us of the joy of intimate relationship with God.
Without that what we are doing is just religion. There is no reality to it. We feel empty and wonder what is wrong with us.

The word repentance is the Greek word"metanoia" translated to change one's mind, to change the inner man.
Dallas Willard said, "reconsidering our considerations and rethinking our thinking, when well done with true repentance as it's highest objective, the kingdom of God is close at hand. "
Submission to God, obedience starts in our mind. So does disobedience. God's work of transformation starts and continues in our mind. Cooperation with God's work in us starts and continues in our mind.
Repentance-the act of changing our mind is an ongoing practice of cooperating with God's work in us to make us more like Christ.
Making way for the truth of the gospel to fill our minds
and change our lives
The recent work of brain science gives us insight into how the brain changes. What was thought to be a static brain after a certain stage is now seen through brain images to be actually very fluid and responsive to changes. Neuroplasticity-the science of the changing brain-is giving deeper understanding into how renewing our mind happens.
We don't need science to tell us that this is possible. The Bible tells us that it is possible. It's the how along with consistency and accountability that we sometimes need to help us make progress.
I work with clients by combining science, scripture, examination and structure to work through steps to rewire their brain. Learning to practice renewal and creating the habits, the rhythms, set you up for a lifetime of spiritual growth and increasing intimacy with Jesus.

Destructive thoughts and mindsets
Are these and others leaving their mark?
I'm not...
- Smart enough
- Educated enough
- Pretty enough
- "Good" enough
- Accomplished enough
- Liked enough
- I'm not enough
Disempowering mindsets
- I could never...
- Past failures will predict future outcomes
- It's too hard to follow Jesus
- I have no purpose
- I have to earn God's love
- What will others say, think
- Imposter syndrome
"I am fortunate to have Linda Gall as my life coach. She is present, thoughtful, compassionate, aware and trusts the process of her individual client's needs. This is HUGE. I asked for her guidance and accountability on a business acquisition. It has been much, much more. You know those areas within you that you may not always be conscious of, premise deep within, and will continue to be there and get in your own way until you work through them. Linda provides clarity and guidance in a loving way. It's a gift these foundational pieces are showing up for me to evolve because wherever I go, I take myself with me, in my personal and business endeavors. I am so incredibly grateful for Linda."

My areas of work
Many times in scripture we are told the importance of choosing our thoughts carefully. We are told that transformation happens by the renewing of our mind. Neuroscience with the help of technology shows that we actually rewire our brain by repeatedly changing our thoughts. This is our part in our transformation-to choose thoughts that align with truth, with goodness. I help clients learn to recognize disempowering thoughts and replace them with the truth.

Filler text. Please replace with your own text.
You have a divine purpose, aspirations given by God, and a vision for who you are called to be.
At the most inopportune time those nagging negative thoughts pop up and stop you. The accusations, the thoughts that make you doubt yourself. At the very least they slow you down.
At their worst they threaten to sabotage not only your God-given calling, but your relationships, your view of God and yourself and everything that is important to you.
Learn how to cooperate with God in transforming your mind. Create space for your thoughts to work in agreement with Truth and not against it.
Change is hard at the beginning
Messy in the middle
Glorious at the end
You Really Can Experience Transformation
Some say that no one really changes. I don't believe it.
That has not been my experience nor has it been what I have seen in my clients.
We are constantly changing, intentional or not. If by default we can change negatively why can't we make intentional positive change? The one thing we have control over is our thoughts. We get to choose them and choose them we do. In allowing negative thoughts to disrupt our progress we are choosing to keep them.
When we work together we will address the unwelcome thoughts that are causing stumbling blocks in your business, in your relationships, in your sense of identity. Instead of running from them you will learn to face them head-on, discern truth from lies and find pathways to peace.

“Linda has shown me the Value I did not know I was missing in a Life Coach.
No matter how much I could figure out on my own, having Linda ask the right questions has helped me understand what I'm trying to do more deeply and focus more precisely on what to put to memory and where to act. It has already helped me get over a phase of inaction and moving in the direction I have been wanting to move.”

“I highly recommend Linda Gall based on my personal experience working with her for both life coaching work and career discernment activities this past year (2023).
As a younger, working mother, I was seeking to connect with a life coaching professional who helped me to (i) determine my strengths/weaknesses , (ii) life priorities and (iii) a better way to realize a happier, healthier life balance in my daily life. Linda Gall was just the person to help me with this need/support.” Anne K
“Linda's communication skills, wisdom and direct questioning abilities make her a skillful life coach. Working with her has helped me to focus on achieving a major life goal that I had been struggling with for several years. Immediately after the first session, I had more clarity. I was able to begin taking sequential steps that brought me closer to my goal. Linda's charming and warm personality is reassuring yet she encouraged and challenged me to push forward to be "The Best I Can Be". ” Sally M. 12/2020
“My son took a career assessment with Linda in his senior year. I participated in the report consultation, and was very impressed not just with what the assessment covered and the insights for my son, but also in the way that Linda led the conversation and explored the findings with him. She was thoughtful, inquisitive, probed gently, and left him with much to consider. I recommend Linda and this approach to any high schoolers looking to explore their career options and alignment with their interests, skills, and values. Thank you Linda!” Judy C.
“Linda's recommendations and personalized test for our son really helped him have a better sense of direction for his future. Great way for parents to also connect with their kids and support them through some of the junior and senior year anxiety.” Jessica S.
“Linda, Thank you for going through the career packet with me. I’ve learned a lot about myself that I was never able to put into words. It’s been an eye opener and a thrill to peek into how the Lord designed me. I already catch myself thinking about my strengths, weaknesses, and things that bring me excitement on a daily basis with my job and relationships. I’m excited to use the tools you’ve given me to prayerfully make some changes in the future.” Irina B.
Linda is truly a blessing. Her guidance has helped me through many transitions in my career. From interview preparation to starting my own business and helping me keep my momentum going. The care she has for her clients truly shines through. She offers practical and realistic guidance on how to reach your goals. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am to have Linda’s experience and help. Marissa Martz 1/2025
