Manage episode 331173947 series 3360414
Michel Hendricks discusses a neurological and theological approach to becoming more like Christ. While not ignoring the rational, left side of the brain, Michel shares how the right side of the brain is where character develops through the four elements of joy, hesed, group identity, and healthy correction. The presence or absence of these elements also determines the ability of narcissism to heal or thrive in a Christian community.
