September 16, 2024

In this episode, we continue our series by engaging Chapter 1 of Stan’s new book, Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing.


In this episode, we discuss:



  • Why is it critical that Christians acknowledge well-done science?
  • What are some implications of the assertion that the brain is fundamentally what we are?
  • The difference between Dallas Willard’s “VIM” model and Jim Wilder’s version.
  • Tips for listeners who want to be more aware of places where they have absorbed Physicalist assumptions.
  • What can we know about what we are? Where does that information come from?
