Season 6 Kickoff: The Neuroscience of Rejoice Always (Philippians 4:4) — Rewiring Anxiety, Depression, PTSD & OCD
In this Season 6 premiere of Rewire Your Brain: The Peace & Positivity Podcast, host Liz Bagwell dives into the neuroscience behind Paul's command in Philippians 4:4 to "rejoice in the Lord always." Using Hebb's Law — the neuroscience principle that "neurons that fire together, wire together" — Liz breaks down why rejoicing isn't just a feel-good suggestion but a divine prescription for rewiring a brain stuck in anxiety, depression, PTSD, or OCD. Today's gratitude and prayer prompts walk you through Micro and Macro Gratitude, a Faith-Filled Gratitude practice, a guided Meditation with Jesus through Philippians 4:4-9, and an action step for choosing joy despite your circumstances.

Podcast Summary:
Welcome to Season 5 of the Rewire Your Brain Podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bagwell. This episode is titled: The Gift of Peace.
I share with you a bit about the neuroscience of neuroplasticity, how God gave us way more power over our thoughts than we could ever imagine and the super easy prompts that help us focus in on Jesus and the positive things He is doing in our lives.
Each prompt draws you closer to Jesus and helps you to see Him and all the miracles He has placed throughout your day more clearly.
