Dr. Alan Weissenbacher joins the conversation to provide strategies and tools to help us achieve meaningful change. In his book The Brain Change Program, he merges neuroscience with biblical wisdom and leads readers through his six-step program.
Dr. Weissenbacher served many years as a chaplain at the Denver Rescue Mission, where he helped homeless addicts by removing them from an urban setting, empowering them to operate a farm, and providing them counseling, spiritual care, and job training. His work with these clients inspires his research into neuroscience, spiritual formation, and methods of improving spiritual lives, religious care, and addiction recovery. He has published chapters in books on the subjects of science, religion, and ethics with Vernon Press and ATF Press. He has also published a chapter on neuroscience and the human person in the second edition of the textbook Science and Religion: A Historical Introduction, as well as articles in the academic journals Dialog, Theology and Science, Wesleyan Theological Journal, and Zygon. Alan currently works as a stay-at-home dad to two young boys while he writes, guest lectures, and consults.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
