In this bonus episode, Brant talks about what he's learning from the book: "The Matter With Things" by Iain McGilchrist. Including:

- Exploring the complexity and intelligence of living cells.

- Challenging purely mechanical views of biology.

- Why relationships and context are paramount.

And most importantly…

The many spiritual parallels that can be derived from the book and how who we are becoming matters way more than our past.

Quotes:

“Life requires cognition at all levels. Our cells think!”

“Genes do nothing on their own; life is far more than DNA.”

“Flatworms can regrow their brains and still remember.”

“Healing is God’s work; medicine cooperates with it.”
