241: How Neuroscience Validates the Need for U.S. Prison Reform with Fiona Givens
Series Title: Atonement & the American Criminal Justice System [Part III of IV]
Welcome to this episode where Valerie and special guest Fiona Givens dive deep into each of their favorite topics: neuroscience & trauma (looking at you Valerie!) & healthy atonement theology (now looking at you Fiona!).
A significant portion of the discussion focuses on the impact of trauma on individuals, especially those within the criminal justice system. Fiona brings insights from scholars and trauma experts, emphasizing that what is often perceived as deviant behavior is deeply rooted in trauma and human woundedness.
Fiona and Valerie advocate for a theological vision committed to healing and redemption, affirming that a compassionate approach can lead to true transformation and restoration. This one is a must-listen and quite possibly will have you pondering things you haven't ever connected before!
