What is Mentality as a soul strength and soul kink?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics

Mentality is a soul strength that, when paired with a positive attitude, leads a person to choose to use their mind for Bible study. This is the area where the spiritual battle is most heated because the enemy seeks to prevent us from using our minds to understand the Word of God.

As a soul kink, if we do not fill our mind with the Word, we will instead fill it with emptiness and vanity. This results in living in a state of torment of soul, similar to Lot.

Also asked: What is the role of mentality in a person's spiritual growth and battle against evil? · What happens to a person's soul when they fail to fill their mind with the Word of God and instead fill it with vanity and emptiness?
Also asked, more loosely
How does having a strong mentality help someone choose to use their mind for Bible study and avoid spiritual emptiness?
