49 min - 376 | Let’s Talk Upstairs and Downstairs Brain
In this episode of our “Train Your Brain” series, we discuss the “upstairs” and “downstairs” of our brains. We unpack the functions of the frontal lobe (upstairs) and the limbic system (downstairs), what it looks like for these areas of our brains to be integrated, and why that integration matters.
Also, in this episode…
- What’s actually happening in the brain when someone “flips their lid”
- Strategies for building and reinforcing a metaphorical “staircase” between the upstairs and downstairs brain so they are more fully integrated

35 min - 375 | Whole Brain Discipleship
In this episode of our “Train Your Brain” series, we’re talking about how understanding the functions of the left brain vs. right brain can have major implications when it comes to spiritual growth and discipleship. If you have found yourself frustrated by the lack of transformation you’re experiencing in your own life (or in the lives of those you lead), perhaps you’ve been neglecting the most important part of the brain for such transformation to actually occur!
Also, in this episode…
- How character formation happens through the brain
- The necessity of community for transformation
- Practical ways to engage your right brain

Also, in this episode…
- The importance of accessing both logic and emotion
- A thought-provoking definition of “mental health” from Dr. Dan Siegel
- Strategies for engaging both the right and left hemispheres of the brain

36 min - 373 | Why Talk About the Brain?
We are so excited to be kicking off a new series entitled “Train Your Brain.” Mercy Multiplied strongly believes in the idea of holistic healing because we are holistic (spirit, soul, and body) beings. In this series, we will talk about God’s design for our brains and how our brains powerfully impact our personal growth and healing (and vice versa)! In this episode, we’ll discuss why we believe it’s so important for people to have a basic understanding of their brains and how God designed their brains to function, develop, heal, and change.
Also, in this episode…
- Why Christians should never fear science
- The primary functions of the brain
- Brain integration – what it means and why it matters
