Christianity has tended to focus on right beliefs and right choices as the keys for personal growth. But biblical evidence and modern brain science show that our character is shaped more by whom we love than what we believe.
Through conversations he had with Dallas Willard at the Heart & Soul Conference shortly before Dallas’s death, Jim Wilder shows how we can train our brains to relate to God based on joyful, mutual attachment—which leads to emotional and spiritual maturity as our identity and character are formed by our relationship with God.
This is Jim Wilder’s brief introduction to the Heart and Soul conference. He speaks about how Jane and Dallas Willard paved the way in his experience to learn how vital it is to welcome the real-time and interactive presence of Christ into the healing and maturation process for all Christ-followers.
