In this episode of Return to Heart, we explore how neuroscience, Scripture, and lived human experience all point to the same truth: God designed us to feel first, not last. From John Calvin to modern brain science, from attachment theory to Scripture, this conversation reveals how healing, transformation, and spiritual maturity happen through vulnerability—not around it.
