Mind Change Monday: Designed to Heal
Our Bodies Are Designed to HealI received the most amazing email yesterday from Dr. Bem Culiat, a brilliant scientist who was on the podcast last year with her co-author and friend, Dr. Jennie McLaurin. Dr. Culiat’s message gave me great hope, and reminded me of the wonderful conversation we’d had about how faith and science work together to show us God’s incredible healing design for our bodies and lives. I decided that here on Mind Change Monday, it would be great to go back and hear that talk again. Join me for a fascinating and hopeful throwback conversation from with Dr. Culiat and Dr. McLaurin to discuss their book, Designed to HealWhat the Body Shows Us about Healing Wounds, Repairing Relationships, and Restoring Community(Note: The free copies have already been claimed.
