The Other Half of Church

What does brain science have to do with spiritual growth?

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY. BRAIN SCIENCE.
OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL STAGNATION.

After a lifetime following Christ and a career as a spiritual formation pastor, Michel Hendricks was disappointed: why does spiritual transformation seem fleeting? And why do Christian communities often seem shallow? That’s when he met neurotheologian Jim Wilder and discovered what’s been missing from his church community and spiritual life.

THE OTHER HALF OF CHURCH INVITES YOU

to join Jim Wilder and Michel and revolutionize your spiritual growth by understanding how the brain works. Learn the roles of the brain’s left and right sides and how they’re both critical to experience lasting, full-brain transformation. You’ll then learn the four ingredients necessary to develop and maintain a vibrant, transformational community:

  1. True joy found through connection and relationships
  2. Hesed love of securely attached communities
  3. Group identity based on the character of Christ
  4. A culture of uplifting, healthy correction
