Why does my body react before I even know why? Why can't I control this? Shouldn't my faith be enough?

Today I'm telling you about the night I stood in the rain knocking on a door nobody was answering, knowing exactly how irrational it looked and being completely unable to stop.

Here's what was actually happening: sensory information hits your amygdala about half a second before it reaches the thinking part of your brain. Your body makes the call first. Your mind arrives second and builds a story to explain what already happened.

That's not a spiritual failure. That's the equipment God gave you.

We explore:

• The half-second gap between your body's decision and your mind's explanation
• Why the same system that keeps you alive in real danger fires when his name shows up on a screen
• The honest answer to "why isn't Jesus enough?"
• Orienting: a somatic body tool you can use the moment you feel the spike

Your one step: next time you're triggered, name what your body did before you judge what you felt. Then look around the room.
