Can faith help rewire your brain? What does neuroscience reveal about the biblical teaching to be transformed by renewing your mind?

After years of chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, anxiety, and sleepless nights, Alison Herron discovered brain retraining and neuroplasticity. What surprised her most was recognizing connections between brain science and principles she'd been reading in Scripture her entire life.

Alison shares her journey toward healing and how faith, prayer, gratitude, visualization, music, and movement became part of her daily practice. She also turned her experience into Faith Squared Music to help others.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Brain retraining, neuroplasticity, and the mind-body connection
• Chronic illness, stress, and the fight-or-flight response
• Romans 12:2 and the renewing of your mind
• How prayer, gratitude, and visualization influenced Alison's recovery
• The power of our thoughts, words, and self-talk
• How singing, music, and dance became tools for transformation
• Why Alison believes neuroscience and the teachings of Jesus go hand in hand
