Attaching to God: Neuroscience-informed Spiritual Formation
015 Why Your Future Self Will Thank You (with Drew Dyck)
Show Notes

Many talk about the need for more self-esteem, and even more self-compassion. 
But what about self-control? 

Why are we so often our biggest enemies?
Why do we do what we don't want to do?
And what can we do about it? 

Drew Dyck joins the podcast to talk about all this and more.  Drew is the acquisitions editor at Moody Publishers and a contributing editor at CTPastors.com.  He's also written Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science (Moody, 2019), Yawning at Tigers: You Can’t Tame God, So Stop Trying (Thomas Nelson, 2014), and Generation Ex-Christian: Why Young Adults Are Leaving the Church…and how to Bring Them Back (Moody, 2010).
