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.
