Back to Episodes347: How God Designed the Christian Brain with Dr. Tim Jennings
Description
In this episode, Dr. Tim Jennings, psychiatrist and author of The God-Shaped Brain, explains how our beliefs about God influence the way we think, feel, respond to stress and experience our faith.
We unpack why so many Christians carry an underlying fear of God, how seeing Him as angry or punitive can keep us operating from fear and survival, and what happens when we replace those beliefs with truth, love and trust.
We also tackle some BIG questions: Have we misunderstood the God of the Old Testament? What was really happening in the story of The Flood? And do we see God as Creator - or as a dictator who makes rules and punishes us when we break them?
Dr. Jennings also dives into how our thoughts and beliefs become encoded in the brain, the fascinating connection to quantum biology, and why Scripture tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile the loving Jesus of the New Testament with the God you thought you saw in the Old, this conversation may completely change the way you think about Him - and your brain.
