Integrating Christian and Biblical Principles to a Healthier Brain Function with Dr. Timothy Jennings
Mar 25, 2022
God designed people to be biologically wired to have fear to make us aware of impending danger and take action against it. Fear is an internal mitigation tool against risk. But if not controlled, we easily get manipulated by fear, which holds us back from taking the next step to success.
As we live in a feeling-based world, no one can ever invalidate how we feel. But feelings can lie frequently and not all feelings are accurate towards reality.
When we stay being chronically fearful, our body is activating the inflammatory factors that affect our physical health. As a consequence, it accelerates aging and contributes to illnesses. In short, harmonious health and life promote better health.
In this week’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Timothy Jennnings to share the integration and biblical principles to a healthier brain function. Dr. Jennings is the President and Founder of Come and Reason Ministries and has published books such as Could It Be This Simple? and The God-Shaped Brain.

Important Points:
- The laws of health are the laws upon which health and life operate and function, and as you harmonize with them you promote better health.
- Fear, from any cause that is chronic in nature, activates the immune system which kicks up inflammatory factors and undermines physical health.
- When you are socially isolated, you have a higher mortality rate. You can't fight illnesses, as well. You have more cancer rates, depression, or dementia.
- Much of the fear is driven by misinformation, falsehoods, and propaganda. It's not being driven by actual science or evidence.
- What you believe means how you feel; how you feel means what you do, and what you do leads to certain results.
