045 How To Escape Enemy Mode (Jim Wilder)
Attaching to God: Neuroscience-informed Spiritual Formation·Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw·22 July 2026·1h 4m

About this episode
How do you escape enemy mode? When your brain and body are just against someone (and maybe you don’t even know why). What if one brain state could explain why we stop listening to, talking with, or caring about, other people? What if this brain state reveals why we lose it on people, fall out of love, and traumatize one another?
Clinical Psychologist & Neurotheologian Jim Wilder is on to talk about all this, and help us identify and overcome enemy mode.
