Executive Function + Faith (Part 1): Impulse Control, Working Memory & Emotional Regulation

In this first episode of a series, we begin a sacred conversation at the intersection of Executive Function and Faith.

Together with neurodiverse Christian couples coach Robin Tate, we gently explore three foundational executive function skills—Impulse Control, Working Memory, and Emotional Regulation—and how they might shape the ways we love God, others, and ourselves.

What happens when you act impulsively before you've thought something through?
When you forget something important, even moments after it was said?
When emotion floods or shuts you down, and you wonder if you’ve somehow failed at being faithful? 

And, how might there be strengths intertwined with these challenges?

Here, we offer grace.
We offer language.
And we begin reclaiming these struggles as holy places of connection with the One who created us!
