    S2, E8: "Season Wrap Up"
    2026/07/15

    🥳 Season 2 comes to a close with reflection, honesty, and hope.

    In this final episode, Mia Burke and Andrea Bufkin revisit key themes from the season—community, spiritual warfare, neuroscience, attachment, pop psychology, and discipleship—while sharing personal reflections on what God has been teaching them along the way.

    They also explore what they didn’t have time to fully unpack, how their faith practices are shaping their lives, and what’s coming next for the podcast and community.

    This episode is both a reflection and a reset—inviting listeners to consider how small, intentional spiritual practices can lead to lasting transformation. And give you a preview of what’s coming in Season 3, due out in fall 2026.

    S2, E4: “Which Came First: Neuroscience or Scripture?”
    2026/06/17

    🧠 What if neuroscience doesn’t contradict scripture…but actually confirms it?

    In this episode, Mia Burke and Andrea Bufkin explore the fascinating intersection of faith, neuroscience, trauma, and spiritual formation. Together, they unpack how the brain is wired, how trauma shapes our responses, and why renewing the mind is both deeply spiritual and deeply biological.

    From nervous system regulation and neural pathways to Romans 12:2 and intentional thinking, this conversation asks an important question: Did God already design our brains to reflect truths scripture has been teaching all along?

    If you’ve ever wondered how faith, healing, and science connect, this episode is for you.
