You Are Not Just a Brain — Why the Church Must Reclaim the Soul


Listen Later

Ever wonder if your brain is all there is to you? Join us as we unravel the deep mysteries of the mind with author Stan Wallace, and discover what the Bible, neuroscience, and philosophy say about being truly human.

We’re tackling big questions about the mind-body connection, the nature of the soul, and the impact of brain science on our spiritual formation. Stan Wallace, president and CEO of Global Scholars and author of “Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing," unpacks how his book clarifies common misconceptions in neurotheology and provides a robust biblical anthropology. 

Discover why understanding the distinction between the brain and the soul is crucial for spiritual growth, effective Christian ministry, and even navigating modern issues like AI and human identity. This discussion will equip you with a deeper understanding of human nature, spiritual formation, and the profound implications of our beliefs about the mind.

This episode is perfect for anyone interested in faith and science, Christian apologetics, spiritual growth, and a deeper understanding of Christianity’s view of the human person.
