The God Shaped Brain | Dr. Timothy Jennings

What if the way you think about God is literally changing the structure of your brain? In this episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben sits down with psychiatrist, author, and kingdom thinker Dr. Timothy Jennings, MD to explore one of the most profound intersections of neuroscience and biblical truth we have ever covered on this show. Dr. Jennings, author of The God Shaped Brain, breaks down how our thoughts, beliefs, and the lies we believe are not just spiritual issues but structural ones. Every choice we make encodes into the deepest substructures of our neurons, literally changing the resonant frequency our brains operate on. When we believe lies, especially lies about who God is, it shifts us from a spirit of love and trust into a spirit of fear and survival. And that shift has cascading consequences on every area of our health and our lives. In this episode you will learn how sin is better understood as a violation of God's design laws rather than a legal infraction, why the wrong view of God can damage the part of your brain responsible for love and connection, how trauma, addiction, and negative thought patterns encode into the brain at a subcellular level, the role of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex in mental and spiritual health, and what it actually means to renew your mind in light of modern brain science. This one will change how you read Scripture and how you understand yourself. Check out all of Dr. Jennings' resources including a free 13-part seminar coming soon at https://comeandreason.com/
