Our brains are the most important, but least understood part of our body. In this episode, I interview Michel Hendricks about the fascinating place where faith and brain science intersect.
Michel is the co-author (with Jim Wilder) of The Other Half of Church: Christian Community, Brain Science, and Overcoming Spiritual Stagnation, which I listed as one of my top ten books in 2023.
If a conversation about brain science sounds intimidating, it’s not. Both the book and this conversation put the cookies on a low shelf for all of us.
Michel is the Director of Life Model Consulting at LifeModelWorks.org where he works with churches and organizations to help bring maturity and the transformation of character back into the center of Christian practice.

While the Church Growth Movement created larger churches and opportunities, it also created larger dangers.
De-sizing The Church: Overcoming The Arrogance/Shame Cycle
“In the first twenty years of the movement, research focused on principles; lately the focus has been on discovering new techniques, programs, or methods.” (Elmer Towns)
