When the 72 disciples returned amazed by what God had done through them, Jesus reminded them that their greatest victory was not what they accomplished, but that their names were written in heaven.

info_outlineHave you seen videos of people experiencing a dramatic emotional release and wondered, "Do I need that to heal?"
The conversation around trauma, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation has exploded in recent years. Many point to the bestselling book The Body Keeps the Score and the idea that trauma is stored in the body. Others argue that trauma isn't stored in the body at all, but rather in the brain's predictive patterns and responses.
So what's true?
In this episode, Alisa explores this important conversation through both science and Scripture, examining where biology and theology meet. Together we'll consider what trauma does to the brain and body, why healing requires more than information alone, and how God's design for our minds and bodies points us toward lasting freedom.
You'll discover:
- What somatic release is
- The difference between trauma being "stored" in the body versus encoded in the brain
- How trauma can impact our ability to shift from fear, anxiety, and hypervigilance into peace and safety
- Why tending to the body can help us tend to the mind
- What Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 teach us about renewing our minds
- Why healing happens in connection, not isolation
- How the compassion of Christ invites us into true restoration
Alisa also unpacks Jesus' encounter with the man at the pool in John 5, asking a powerful question: Do we truly want to be healed, even when healing requires discomfort, surrender, and change?
Practical Ways to Participate in Healing
- Get close to Jesus
- Spend time in God's Word until your heart is awakened to His truth and love.
- Stay connected to God's people
- Healing happens in relationships with people who embody the love and truth of Christ.
- Practice daily sacrifice
- Learn to become comfortable with healthy discomfort.
These practices are more than spiritual disciplines—they are psycho-neuro-biological pathways that help align our minds, bodies, and spirits with God's design for wholeness.
