#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
