SPOILER ALERT FOR THE WHOLE SHOW

Ever wonder why Max’s favorite song could pull her out of Vecna’s grasp in Stranger Things? In this episode, Lauren and Joel dive into the powerful link between music and memory — from the neuroscience of how tunes unlock our deepest emotions, to why Scripture tells us to sing “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” We’ll explore how rhythm, repetition, and melody help us hold on to truth when our minds feel trapped in the upside down of fear and forgetfulness. Grab your Walkman and your Bible — and let’s take a trip down memory lane!
