Biblical Psychology & Mental Restoration

8 Weeks4 Credits4 Modules4 Assessments

Course Overview

The battlefield of the soul is the mind. Overthinking, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and compulsive thought patterns are epidemic — even among believers. This course teaches you the neuroscience of thought, the theology of the mind (Romans 12:2), and practical intervention strategies. You will learn to help people identify thought strongholds, understand their origins, and systematically replace lies with truth using the "Replace" step of the 6-R model.

Course Description

Study how the mind processes trauma, how strongholds form, and how biblical truth combined with practical strategies can renew thought patterns and break destructive mental cycles.

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain the biblical framework for the mind (nous, dianoia, phronema)
  • Describe how neural pathways form and reinforce thought patterns
