There Is Nothing Wrong With Your Faith — Your Nervous System Was Just Never Shown the Right God

This episode goes underneath the neuroscience and into the quantum biology, ancient Hebrew word studies, and thousand-year theological history that explain how the fear-based God of Western Christianity was built — and what full restoration looks like in the body of a human being who finally encounters the God who was never their threat.

This is a DEEP DIVE on my latest Youtube Video: https://youtu.be/368DcafGt28 


IN THIS EPISODE:

— HeartMath Institute research on heart-brain coherence

— The observer effect, neuroplasticity as quantum biology, and epigenetics

— Why epigenetic fear may be heritable — and why it is also reversible

— Five Hebrew word studies: Shalom, Yirah, Shav, Nephesh, Shabbat

— The neuroscience of awe versus terror

— Anselm of Canterbury, Calvin, and the 1,000-year history of the fear-based God

— Christus Victor — the atonement framework the early church used for a thousand years

— Four embodied formation practices to begin the neurological rewiring process
