Two halves make a whole. This is true for everything. But it is uniquely true for our brains. Each half, the left and the right, bring a wholeness that without either one, we are much less than half. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Ted Witzig Jr., Brian Sutter, Kaleb Beyer and Kathy Knochel help us better understand the vast wonder of our created brains and give us a vision for healthy functioning that uses whole brain living.

Show notes:

The left brain (hemisphere) is understood to be the seat of rational logic. It excels in language, math and science.

• The right brain (hemisphere) is understood to be the seat of emotional perception. It excels in music, art and fantasy.

• It is common that people tend toward one side over the other. That is, they view the world, engage in relationships and respond to their environments by leading with one side of the brain over the other.

• Whole brain living is seeking to understand the value that each brain hemisphere brings.

• It is possible to grow in our ability to use whole brain thinking. In fact, whole brain living will aid connection in our relationships, understanding of other people, processing our environments and the worship of God.
