Attaching to God: Neuroscience-informed Spiritual Formation

NOTE

Neurotheology - What Are My People?

Identity, joy, and one's people are interconnected through the concept of character, which is the fast-track response part of oneself. Shaming individuals for bad behavior does not lead to effective change; instead, delighting in them, offering grace, and modeling new ways of living is crucial. Churches need to move beyond managing sin and focusing on belief systems to truly transform individuals. The concept of the 'Azif person,' who acts differently for better results, is prevalent in Christian contexts but can create discrepancies in behavior. Connecting one's Christianity with a deeper attachment to God is essential for authentic and consistent living.
