#43 – Soul, Body, and Loving God

In this episode, we continue our series by discussing Chapter 9 of Stan’s new book, Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What problems arise when we reduce spiritual formation to just the physical
  • What problems arise when we reduce spiritual formation to just the immaterial
  • How we should understand the unity of the body and soul as it relates to spiritual formation
  • What it looks like to take a both/and approach to spiritual formation in our lives
  • How this topic has impacted our churches
  • How Dallas Willard’s model of growth in Christ differs from what neurotheologians offer
  • God’s role and our role in spiritual formation
