Your Brain on Prayer — The Surprising Connection Between Scripture and Neuroscience | Ep. 22
The Faith Filled Therapist Jo Hargreaves reveals how prayer shapes your brain, your emotions, and your biology—and why science is confirming what the Bible has said all along.
If you’ve ever wondered whether faith and science belong in the same conversation—this episode is for you.
We talk about:
* Why gratitude and anxiety can’t coexist in the brain—just as Paul says in Philippians 4:6
* How prayer and meditation physically reshape your mind
* What’s really happening when you struggle with intrusive thoughts
* How God designed your brain, body, and spirit to work together—and why we shouldn’t ignore it
This conversation is both deeply practical and incredibly hope-filled. If you’ve ever felt stuck in anxiety, negative thinking, or patterns you can’t seem to break—there is a way forward.
CHAPTERS:
00:00 – Intro: When science catches up to Scripture
03:07 – Church & prayer: the impact on your brain
04:50 – Intrusive thoughts: don’t empty your mind—fill it
07:30 – What happens when you fill your mind with Scripture
10:45 – Manifesting sounds good…so what’s wrong with it?
14:30 – What God’s love does to your brain
15:58 – You’re not stuck: the power of neuroplasticity
20:06 – “Holistic” isn’t new age—it’s biblical

Seeing Jesus Through Jewish Eyes with Rabbi Jason Sobel | Ep. 21
Rebecca sits down with Rabbi Jason Sobel—Messianic Jewish teacher and Spiritual Advisor for 'The Chosen'—to reveal the often-missed connections between the Old Testament and Jesus, and how understanding the Jewish roots of Scripture changes everything.
Jason shares his journey from a Jewish upbringing to a life-changing encounter with Jesus, and why following Him didn’t make him less Jewish—but more.
They unpack powerful connections between the Old and New Testaments, from Passover to Pentecost, and discuss Messianic Judaism, Israel, and why these ancient traditions still matter today.
Rabbi Jason also gives a behind-the-scenes look at his work on The Chosen—including the show's powerful impact on cast members, and what it’s like to have Jonathan Roumie join your Passover seder!
The conversation also touches on Israel and end times prophecy, what Messianic Judaism actually is (and isn’t), and why Rabbi Jason believes the Jewish holidays aren’t just for Jewish people — they’re an invitation for all believers to step into the full inheritance of their faith.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing part of the story, the connections revealed in this episode will help you see God’s salvation story more clearly—and as Rabbi Jason likes to say, bring Jesus in high-definition.
