Host Steve Cuss welcomes physician Eric Shoemaker to explore the intersection of physical health, neuroscience, and spiritual fitness. Eric explains how injury and pain recovery mirror emotional and spiritual healing, and breaks down the difference between the body's "threat" and "challenge" responses, showing how faith can reshape our nervous system's reactions. Steve and Eric discuss whole-body discipleship, identity in Christ, and practical micro-habits to help rewire the brain toward trust over fear. Episode Resources: Eric’s article The Neurobiology of Victory: How the physical reality of performance reveals the spiritual power of faith   Dan Allender’s Leading with a Limp: Take Full Advantage of Your Most Powerful WeaknessScripture Referenced: Genesis More from Eric Shoemaker: Eric Shoemaker’s Substack: The Divine Design Lab Follow Eric on instagramSign up for Steve’s Newsletter & Podcast RemindersCapable Life NewsletterGet the Assets & Liabilities pdf and the Life Giving ListJoin Steve at an Upcoming IntensiveCapable Life IntensivesLearn more about your ad choices.
