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\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0802419631\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780802419637\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Wilder, Jim, Hendricks, Michel\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Moody Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Aug 2020)","offer_id":46356688797893,"sku":"9780802419637","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780802419637.jpg?v=1781310035","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-other-half-of-church-christian-community-brain-science-and-overcoming-spiritual-stagnation","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
