What if the brain itself is wired for spirituality?

That's the groundbreaking research Dr. Lisa Miller brings to this episode of Igniting Imagination — a podcast designed to spark creativity and imagination for emerging ministry leaders already thinking about what's next for the church.

A professor at Columbia University and founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, Dr. Miller has spent her career studying the relationship between spirituality and the brain. What she's found is striking: our brains become more resilient and robust the more we engage with spiritual life. And two-thirds of our spiritual capacity is shaped by our environment — which means the church has a more vital role to play in human flourishing than many realize.

"The greatest gift I wish for my children is that they can develop a sacred relationship through which they find guidance in very unpredictable waters." — Lisa Miller

Leaders across the church are navigating a shared reality right now: familiar patterns are shifting, long-held assumptions no longer hold, and the path forward isn't always clear.

We invited pastors and lay leaders from Texas and New Mexico to discuss the realities they've found in their ministries, with three insights emerging about what this moment is asking of the church.

The future will be shaped by leaders willing to ask deeper questions, pay attention, and take faithful next steps.
