Ep. 02 Spirit, Soul, Body (Holistic Approach) & The Tabernacle

Description:

In today’s episode, co-hosts Steph and Laura dive into how God made His people, and how that matters for our journey in mental health. Does mental illness occur only in your brain, biologically? If someone is mentally ill, does it mean they’re possessed? Or do they just have a lot of emotional baggage? The answers can be found in the Bible, especially when we take a closer look at an Old Testament building called the Tabernacle...

Includes: How we’re saved in all aspects of our being, our spirit, soul and body; the relevancy of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25-31, 35-40) and scriptures such as Mark 5:1-20, Proverbs 11:14 , 15:22 , 24:6. W

We mentioned Dr. Caroline Leaf in this episode. You can find her and her work on the mind-brain connection at www.drleaf.com.
