If you have been around church much in your life, when you think of church, there is probably one thing that comes to mind for nearly every person: the sermon. Almost every church has one. Many of them (like mine) have tended to be quite lengthy. Some of them are quite good, even inspiring. In fact, after I listen to a good sermon, I will really want to change. But then, if you’re anything like me, somewhere between the end of the sermon and the time you get home from church, that desire to change is pretty much gone...

***Disclaimer*** I am not a neuroscientist! I’m just sharing what I’ve learned and find helpful. If it helps, great. If not, don’t sue me. đŸ™‚ I’ve been doing a lot of reading and research over the last couple of years on how we really learn and change. If you’re outside our 6:8 church circle, you may not realize my obsession, although, many of you have probably had to endure a passionate rant or two. As a church (and the pastor of that church), we are sold out on transformation. So, I’ve been trying to learn how to best help...
