Dr. Jim Wilder is a neurotheologian\\u2014that means he studies theology and brain science\\u2014who says we\\u2019ve mistakingly made the gospel about knowledge when it\\u2019s actually about attachment. You don\\u2019t want to miss what he has to say about the importance of food, joy, and gratitude in spiritual formation. Also this week, how does having power\\u2014or not having it\\u2014influence our beliefs? David French says America is experiencing a religious fundamentalist revival, but it\\u2019s not Christian.
