A Failure to Integrate Hurts

 

Many Christians struggle to integrate questions of mental health, trauma, and psychology with their journey of faith.

  • How do you integrate your journey of faith with questions of mental health?

  • How does our struggle with trauma, abuse, addiction, and broken relationships connect to the gospel?

What We Do

We mine all the resources God gave us...
 

  • from brain science to Bible study,

  • from spiritual direction to theological doctrine.

 

And practically connect all this to the everyday life of faith so that you can...
 

  • faithfully grow

  • in relational capacity

  • and spiritual maturity.

So that you can become UNSTUCK in your spiritual and relational lives, growing into the people God has made us to be.

What is neuroscience-informed spiritual formation?

The way Cyd would explain it:

An embodied faith includes:

  • Securing your ATTACHMENT to God.
  • Embracing the hidden PARTS of yourself.
  • Feeling grounded in your BODY and EMOTIONS.
  • Clarifying and integrating your PURPOSE to feel more whole.​

How Geoff would explain it:

Making sure our spiritual practices take seriously our...

  • EMOTIONAL LIVES: emotions are the God-given energy of life connecting us to other people
  • ENCODED EXPERIENCES: our cognitive life is always slightly out of our control—coming to us already shaped by life experience, relationships, and culture.
  • EMBEDDED RELATIONSHIPS: who we love and who loves us back shapes how we think and feel
  • EXTENDED MINDS: we always live outside ourselves through culture and technology.
