The Bible, the Brain, and Why Feelings Matter More Than You Think | Return to Heart Ep. 13

What if your feelings were never the enemy of your faith? In this episode of Return to Heart, we explore how neuroscience, Scripture, and lived human experience all point to the same truth: God designed us to feel first, not last. From John Calvin to modern brain science, from attachment theory to Scripture, this conversation reveals how healing, transformation, and spiritual maturity happen through vulnerability—not around it. We discuss: • Why the Bible has never been contradicted by archaeology or neuroscience • How the brain is wired for protection and connection • Why feelings lead us to God rather than away from Him • How trauma lives in the body and how healing actually works • Why faith that bypasses the heart eventually collapses This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, finish this episode first—then go back. 🔗 Learn more and access resources at tinman.org 00:00 – Archaeology, the Bible, and neuroscience 02:10 – The brain confirms Scripture 04:30 – Calvin on knowing God and knowing self 07:50 – Vulnerability, attachment, and faith 10:30 – Why feelings are not defects 14:20 – Attachment, grief, and love 18:00 – Trauma, the brain, and protection 22:00 – “I will be with you” and the limbic system 26:00 – How the brain is built (brainstem, limbic, cortex) 31:00 – Fear, safety, and hypervigilance 35:30 – Why talking heals 40:30 – Feeling before thinking 42:20 – Returning to how God made us
