As pastors and ministry leaders, why is a thorough understanding of the body, mind, and soul so vital as we minister in a rapidly shifting world? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Dr. Stan Wallace. Stan is the president and CEO of Global Scholars. He travels the world, writing and speaking on issues of apologetics, ethics, and Christian thought. His most recent book is entitled Have We Lost Our Minds?: Neuroscience, Neurotheology, the Soul, and Human Flourishing. Together, Stan and Jason explore concepts around the brain, the mind, and the soul. Stan shares the dangers of some of the extremes in these conversations and helps point us to a healthy middle way that resonates with biblical truth. Now I want to encourage you to hang with us in this conversation because Stan has to explain some deep concepts, but in the second half of the conversation, Stan really helps us understand the implications of all of this when it comes to ministering and serving in the world we live in today.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:

Stan Wallace on the existence of an internal, tangible aspect of human nature: "Scripture is really clear that we have an inner material dimension."

Stan Wallace on the importance of the soul as the fundamental essence that brings coherence and unity to the various aspects of our being: "The soul is the thing that stands under and unifies all those other things that make us, us."

Stan Wallace on the deep interconnection between the soul and the body: "God created our souls to be able to structure a body "around" itself, not physically, of course, but around itself, so that it can actually engage in the world in ways that it flourishes."
