Episode notes
Read Paper Bible And Journal Daily
- Read scripture physically and journal daily to strengthen memory and neuroplastic change.
- Commit to a focused yearly plan, like reading the ESV and journaling to hear God better.
Science, Method, And Faith Are Distinct
- Confusing scientific method with belief is common; holding beliefs despite contrary evidence is faith, not science.
- Warren argues that practicing beneficial behaviors from science is rational even if they lead toward spiritual inquiry.
Deliberately Ascribe Worth To Shape Attention
- Use 'ascribe' deliberately: assign worth and qualities to shape attention and neural wiring.
- Repeatedly focus on true qualities to build pathways that alter perception and behavior.
