Doreen Steenland, author and trauma-informed neuroscience coach, describes her childhood history of abuse, the self-protective patterns she learned, and how coming to Christ as a young adult started her journey to experiencing the power of God's love, transformation, and healing. We discover how brain science supports Romans 12:2 and how transformation happens through small "micro-shifts" rather than through striving. Doreen shares many examples to help us interrupt habits like negative looping or catastrophizing, so we can learn to transform our minds and experience God's healing love.

Verses: Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Matthew 14:29-31
