In this powerful and perspective-shifting conversation, I sit down with neuro-theologian, church planter, and disciple-maker Jessie Cruickshank to explore ordinary discipleship and how the brain shapes the way we grow in faith.
Jessie brings deep insight and real-life warmth as we unpack how spiritual formation isn’t just about beliefs—it’s about relationships, experience, and transformation. We talk about what’s gone wrong with discipleship in the Church, how neuroscience confirms what Jesus modelled, and why ordinary people (not experts) are the future of the Great Commission.
We talk about:✨ Why striving can lead to spiritual death✨ How experiential learning deepens spiritual growth✨ The surprising neuroscience of hearing God✨ Why community and emotional safety matter in discipleship✨ How God wants to be found—by you
Whether you’re walking through spiritual dryness, longing to hear God more clearly, or wondering what it really means to follow Jesus—this conversation will leave you encouraged, equipped, and invited to step into transformation.
