Could brain science be the key to spiritual formation?Why does true
Christian transformation seem fleeting? And why does church often feel
lonely, Christian community shallow, and leaders untrustworthy? For many
Christians, the delight of encountering Christ eventually dwindles-and
disappointment sets in. Is lasting joy possible?These are some of the
questions Michel Hendricks has considered both in his experience as a
spiritual formation pastor and in his lifetime as a Christian. He began
to find answers when he met Jim Wilder-a neurotheologian. Using brain
science, Wilder identified that there are two halves of the church: the
rational half and the relational half. And when Christians only embrace
the rational half, churches become unhealthy places where transformation
doesn't last and narcissistic leaders flourish.In The Other Half of
Church, join Michel and Jim's journey as they couple brain science
with the Bible to identify how to overcome spiritual stagnation by
living a full-brained faith. You'll also learn the four ingredients
necessary to develop and maintain a vibrant transformational community
where spiritual formation occurs, relationships flourish, and the toxic
spread of narcissism is eradicated.
