And why does church often feel lonely, Christian community shallow, and leaders untrustworthy? For many Christians, the delight of encountering Christ eventually dwindles-and disappointment sets in. Is lasting joy possible?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are some of the questions Michel Hendricks has considered both in his experience as a spiritual formation pastor and in his lifetime as a Christian. He began to find answers when he met Jim Wilder-a neurotheologian. Using brain science, Wilder identified that there are two halves of the church: the rational half and the relational half. And when Christians only embrace the rational half, churches become unhealthy places where transformation doesn't last and narcissistic leaders flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Other Half of Church\u003c\/i\u003e, join Michel and Jim's journey as they couple brain science with the Bible to identify how to overcome spiritual stagnation by living a full-brained faith. You'll also learn the four ingredients necessary to develop and maintain a vibrant transformational community where spiritual formation occurs, relationships flourish, and the toxic spread of narcissism is eradicated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49429528281392,"sku":"BDftvj","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ftvj-cover.jpg?v=1761380355","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ftvj","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
