When Scripture Isn't Enough: How God Rewires the Perfectionist Brain | ft. Raven Van Asten | 033
If you've ever wondered, "Why am I still struggling when I know what God's Word says?" you're not alone.
In this episode, Leneé sits down with Kingdom neurocoach Raven Van Asten to explore the fascinating intersection of biblical truth, neuroscience, and the renewing of the mind.
Together they unpack why some deeply rooted beliefs can't simply be "thought away," how God designed the brain to heal, and what it looks like for the Holy Spirit to bring lasting transformation from the inside out.
This conversation offers a hopeful, biblically grounded perspective for women who long to move beyond striving and into genuine freedom.
