Hi, this is Thomas. I want to take a moment to tell you about my new book with Faith Matters at Onement.

When I was young, a teacher pointed out to me a dimension of the gospel that was so subtle I had spent my entire life looking right past it.

But once I saw it and connected to it, it became as a portal opening up to a new world, a new dimension.

the possibility of becoming a new creature in Christ.

This book is a chronicle of my last 25 years of practice, of transformation, of my deepening faith and discipleship. I'm grateful the faith

for the opportunity to produce it and I hope you'll join me in this

adventure.

Lisa is a clinical psychologist and professor at

Columbia University who specializes in the science of spirituality. She's also the

author of the popular 2021 book The Awaken Brain, The New Science of Spirituality, and Our Quest for an inspired life.

We often think of science and spirituality as separate ways of knowing that don't really speak to each

across the lifespan, and showing how science can be a witness to

spirituality. She believes that we all have an innate inborn capacity for

spirituality or relational transcendent awareness And individuals who cultivate a strong

spiritual core are less likely to experience despair, addiction, and depression
