Lana Savchuk

Lana Savchuk was born in Moscow, Russia, a fifth-generation Christian and a pastor's daughter who grew up knowing about Jesus long before she knew Him personally. She moved to the United States in 2005 and encountered God in a way that changed everything.

Growing up as a Christian in Soviet society was not easy. "You were either looked down upon or people mocked you," she has shared. During her teenage years, she struggled to fit in, fell in with the wrong crowd, and spent time in the party lifestyle - searching for something she could not name. What she found eventually was not religion. It was freedom.

That freedom came at a cost. Early in her marriage to Vladimir Savchuk, lead pastor of HungryGen Church in Washington state, Lana went through a spiritual battle that she describes in this book with unusual honesty: nightmares, torment, depression, and an inability to pray. She received deliverance. And then she discovered that breaking mental strongholds required a second battle entirely.

That journey is what produced this book. Lana now ministers, speaks, and writes with the credibility of someone who has walked through both sides of freedom - not just the initial deliverance but the long work of renewing the mind, demolishing strongholds, and walking in the lasting freedom in Christ that most Christian books for women in this space never fully address.

Together with her husband, Vladimir, Lana leads HungryGen Church - a multi-cultural congregation dedicated to soul-winning, healing, deliverance, and the raising up of young leaders. Their ministry YouTube channel has 857K subscribers. They have one son, Samuel, born in 2024 after thirteen years of waiting.

Klappentext

You can get delivered and still be in bondage.

That is the truth nobody talks about. You go through deliverance. The demon leaves. And yet the fear is still there. The dark thoughts still come. The patterns that were there before are still running. And you wonder what went wrong.

Lana Savchuk knows exactly what that feels like. Early in her marriage, she went through a spiritual battle that left her tormented - nightmares, fear, emotional heaviness that made no sense in the natural. She received deliverance. And then she discovered that deliverance is only half the battle.

The other half is this: You cannot cast out what you are still agreeing with.

Strongholds are not just demons - they are thought patterns, belief systems, inner agreements that give the enemy continued access even after he has been driven out. Winning the war in your mind requires more than deliverance. It requires renewing the mind with the truth of God's Word until every thought captive is brought into alignment with who He says you are.

Change Your Mind is a practical, Scripture-based guide to dismantling the mental strongholds that survive deliverance. Lana walks through the battlefield of the mind with the authority of someone who has fought and won -- not in theory but in real life.

In this book, you will:

• Understand the difference between deliverance and breaking strongholds - and why you need both
• Identify the hidden thought patterns that keep you in bondage after freedom should have come
• Apply practical steps to freedom in Christ based on Romans 12:2 for renewing the mind
• Break free from spiritual warfare in your mind using truth - not just prayer
• Walk in lasting freedom in Christ that goes beyond a single deliverance experience Freedom has two sides. This book gives you the second one.
