About

What if your nervous system wasn’t your enemy? What if Jesus wasn’t standing over your panic attack with a disappointed look—but sitting beside you, gently reminding you to breathe? In this brief but powerful course, we explore the sacred intersection of neuroscience and spirituality—where polyvagal theory meets the Prince of Peace. You'll discover how your vagus nerve is God’s built-in system of regulation, connection, and safety. Learn why Jesus is basically a vagus nerve stimulator in human form and how to experience peace that’s physiological and theological. Module 1: The Gospel According to Your Nervous System What is the vagus nerve? Why your body freaks out (and how that’s not a spiritual failure) “Peace I leave with you…” as a message to your biology, not just your theology Module 2: Jesus, Co-Regulation, and Eye Contact Why Jesus didn’t just shout truth—He touched, looked, wept, and dined Attachment, safety, and the power of presence Your nervous system's favorite Bible stories Module 3: Spiritual Practices That Stimulate the Vagus Nerve Practical ways to “regulate and relate”: Breath Prayer: “Be still.” / “And know.” Cold Water Baptism (the bathroom version): Why splashing your face is holy work Singing and Humming: Worship as nervous system rehab Slow Eye Contact and Safe Touch: Hugs > theology debates Slowing Down: Be like Jesus—nap in storms
