Renewing Our Minds in Love: Integrating Neuroscience and Scripture for Wholeness and Healing

Are you a Christian leader who isn't sure how to integrate science and the Bible in helping your community find healing?

Integrating neuroscience with the Christian faith is critical because leaders are ignoring the need for the brain to be rewired. They need the tools to facilitate this process. Pastors and counsellors remind people to think, read, meditate, and more, but that does not address critical realities of neuroscience that have been proven through countless scientific studies.

Unfortunately, there has been the perception that science and the Bible cannot be integrated into a greater awareness of how people can help, which has resulted in opposition from both the scientific community and the Christian community. The body of Christ must remember that we are designed in the image of God, with the capacity to heal through the rewiring of our brain.

In this research-based, faith-centered book, you will learn:

• The harmony that exists between science and Scripture
• Why it is important to tend to the brain and the body while pursuing healing
• Tools to overcome fear and to pursue love and community
• How to grow the fruits of the Spirit in relationship
• The value of truly being with people where they're at
• How to create a safe space in your sphere(s) of influence
• The source of true freedom, peace, love, and healing

We can help people as we bring together the disciplines of Bible study, prayer, and christian practices with neuroscience. Our brains can reform and become healthier when we develop healthy thought patterns, self-talk, spiritual disciplines, and relationships. The fact that we have the capacity to change our brain has profound implications for science and for spiritual transformation and discipleship. Renewing Our Minds in Love is the foundation for tearing down our walls and healing our wounds.
