How I Became a Disciplined Christian (scientifically)

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Video:

  • 🧠 The science behind Christian discipline — how every habit (spiritual, physical, or sexual) follows the same neurological loop: Cue → Craving → Response → Reward.

  • 🙏 How to turn temptation into spiritual training by redirecting your dopamine toward godly actions.

  • 🍽️ Why your food choices are directly tied to your spiritual and sexual discipline — and how fasting resets your dopamine sensitivity.

  • 💪 The powerful connection between movement and worship — how exercise boosts BDNF, the “fertilizer for your brain.”

  • 📖 How to make prayer and Bible reading second nature through neuroscience-backed habit systems.

  • ⚙️ The 4 Pillars of Discipline: Purity, Nutrition, Movement, and Devotion.

  • 🔄 Why discipline isn’t about trying harder — it’s about rewiring your brain to crave holiness over comfort.
