Introduction

It is true that many adults with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) may exhibit addictive behaviors. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. People with ADHD often experience difficulties with self-regulation and may struggle with impulsive behaviors and self-control. There are several neurodiverse conditions or disorders that may be associated with addictive behaviors. Some examples include:

1. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Research has shown that individuals with ASD may be at a higher risk of developing addictive behaviors, particularly with regard to screen time and gaming addiction. This may be related to the hyperfocus and repetitive behaviors associated with ASD.
2. Bipolar Disorder: Individuals with bipolar disorder may be more prone to developing addictive behaviors, particularly during manic episodes. This may be due to the increased impulsivity and risk-taking behaviors associated with manic episodes.
3. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Although not traditionally considered an addiction, compulsive behaviors associated with OCD can be similar in nature to addictive behaviors. Individuals with OCD may engage in compulsive behaviors such as excessive hand washing, checking, or counting.
4. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Individuals with BPD may be more prone to developing addictive behaviors, particularly with regard to substance abuse. This may be related to the emotional dysregulation and impulsivity associated with BPD.

[Note: It is important to note that not all individuals with these conditions will develop addictive behaviors, and not all individuals with addictive behaviors have these conditions. If you are concerned about your own or a loved one's addictive behaviors, it is important to seek professional help from a qualified healthcare provider.]

Truth

Research has shown that individuals with ADHD may be at an increased risk of developing addiction to substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. The exact reasons for this are not fully understood, but it is believed that some people with ADHD may turn to substances as a way of self-medicating their symptoms. In other cases, the impulsivity and thrill-seeking behaviors associated with ADHD may make individuals more prone to experimenting with drugs or alcohol. It's important to note that not all individuals with ADHD will develop addictive behaviors, and not all individuals with addiction have ADHD. If you are concerned about your own or a loved one's addictive behaviors, it is important to seek professional help from a qualified healthcare provider.

Disgrace is a painful experience that can come from various sources such as personal failure, shame, or rejection. It can be a heavy burden that affects our sense of self-worth and hinders our ability to move forward in life. However, as Christians, we have access to resources and guidance that can help us overcome disgrace and find hope and purpose.

At the center of our faith is the belief in God as our Creator, Savior, and Lord. We are called to put God as our first priority and to seek His kingdom and righteousness above all else. By focusing on God's goodness and sovereignty, we can find a source of strength and hope that transcends our circumstances.

The concept of treasure on earth can also be helpful in dealing with disgrace. Jesus teaches us to value heavenly treasures such as love, kindness, and compassion, over earthly possessions or achievements. By investing in these eternal values, we can find meaning and purpose that transcends the shame or rejection we may experience in this world.

Finally, it's important to recognize that there is a time for everything in life, including seasons of disgrace or hardship. However, we can trust that God is in control and that He can work all things together for good. We can also remember that God is our portion, our supreme source of joy and satisfaction. By putting our trust in Him, we can find a way to move forward with hope and purpose, even in the midst of disgrace.

“Many adults with ADHD exhibit addictive behaviors — addiction to food, to marijuana, to the Internet. Learn how to identify the signs of addiction early and distinguish between the different types of addiction in order to break cravings. Many reasons account for addictions among adults with ADHD, however two general causes come up again and again. First, adults with ADHD are more likely to self-medicate, particularly so when they lack awareness or understanding of their ADHD biology and have not yet learned how to manage it well. Second, many adults with ADHD are drawn to thrill-seeking and novel experiences”.

In all these areas, we can ask God for help and trust in His power to deliver us and set us free. We can also seek support from others, such as friends, family, or professional counselors, who can help us on our journey towards healing and wholeness such as exploring the following possibilities: 

• Sin refers to actions, thoughts, or attitudes that are contrary to God's will and character. We may struggle with various sins, such as lying, gossip, anger, or lust, which can cause us to feel guilty and ashamed. We need Christ mindset, God's deliverance, and forgiveness to overcome sin and to live in alignment with His purposes and values. 
• Temptation refers to the lure or attraction of something that is contrary to God's will. We may be tempted to engage in behaviors that are harmful to ourselves or others, such as addiction, unhealthy relationships, or dishonesty. We need God's strength and guidance to resist temptation and to make wise choices that honor Him.
• Bondage refers to a state of being trapped or controlled by something that is harmful or destructive. We may be in bondage to addiction, fear, anxiety, or past trauma, which can prevent us from living fully and freely. We need God's deliverance and healing to break free from bondage and to experience the abundant life that He has for us.

Equanimity

It is possible that a person who is striving for equanimity might also be interested in practices such as brain balancing or seeking a living God. The Ascending Reticular Activating System (ARAS) is a network of nerve pathways in the brainstem that is responsible for regulating consciousness, arousal, and attention. The ARAS receives sensory input from various parts of the body and sends signals to the cortex, which is the outer layer of the brain that is responsible for complex cognitive processes such as perception, thought, and decision-making.

The ARAS is believed to play a role in maintaining a state of equilibrium or homeostasis in the brain, which is important for overall health and well-being. Some proponents of brain balancing suggest that practices such as meditation, yoga, and certain types of exercise can help to regulate the ARAS and promote a state of balance and harmony in the brain. The ARAS holds strength and might in relation to the Holy Spirit, as well as the might of Jehovah and the mystery of Christ, and their connection to the Christian faith.In the Christian faith, the Holy Spirit is considered the third person of the Trinity, and is associated with strength and might. The Holy Spirit is believed to be the source of power and guidance for believers, empowering them to live a life of faith and obedience to God.

The might of Jehovah refers to the power and authority of God as revealed in the Bible. Jehovah is one of the names of God, emphasizing His power and sovereignty over all things. The might of Jehovah is expressed through His divine love and honor, which are rooted in His nature of goodness and mercy. The hope and surety of the oaths of divine majesty and mercy provide assurance to believers, knowing that God is faithful and trustworthy in keeping His promises.

The mystery of Christ refers to the central message of the Christian faith, which is the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. The mystery of Christ emphasizes the love and grace of God, and invites all people to receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The omnipotence of God refers to the belief that God is all-powerful and all-loving. This means that God's power and love are infinite and eternal, and that His actions are always in accordance with His nature of love and goodness. God's love is unconditional and never-ending, and He is always working for the good of His people.

• The phrase "ALL Strength & Might" refers to the unlimited power and strength of God. It is an acknowledgment of His sovereignty and omnipotence. This is represented by the Spirit, who is the embodiment of God's power and might.
• "Might of Jehovah- Divine Love and Honor" is a reference to the power and love of God. It represents His authority and majesty, as well as His mercy and compassion. The oaths of Divine Majesty and Mercy are sure and unbreakable promises that God has made to His people.
• "Might of Great Love" refers to the immense love that God has for His creation. It is a reflection of His Divine Mercy, which is the essence of His character. The Spirit of Might is the Counselor and Comforter who helps us to understand and experience the love and mercy of God.
• "Truth of Great Honor" represents the truth and righteousness of God. It is a reflection of His Divine Majesty, which demands our respect and reverence. The Spirit of Truth is the Teacher and Standby who guides us into all truth and helps us to live according to God's standards.
• All of these concepts work together to help us understand and experience the fullness of God's nature and character. They remind us of His power, love, mercy, and truth, and help us to live in accordance with His will.

In conclusion, the concepts of strength and might are associated with the Holy Spirit in the Christian faith, providing believers with the power and guidance they need to live a life of faith and obedience. The might of Jehovah is expressed through His divine love and honor, providing hope and assurance to believers. The mystery of Christ emphasizes the love and grace of God, inviting all people to receive salvation through faith. Finally, the omnipotence of God emphasizes His all-loving and all-good nature, providing comfort and assurance to believers that God is always working for their good.

Therefore, in enlightened ARAS, it is possible, through the triune brain, individuals who are interested in spiritual or religious practices may also be interested in practices that promote brain health, equanimity, and well-being of brain balancing, such as prayer, meditation on scriptures, praise and worship or yoga. Ultimately, the relationship between these concepts will vary depending on an individual's beliefs and experiences.

Think ARAS Epigenetic Healing:  Epigenetic Healing involves the use of specific frequencies and activities to facilitate the body's innate ability to heal itself based on the principles of epigenetics. In the context of ARAS Epigenetic Healing, the focus is on using Bible-centered trauma-informed activities, again such as reading and studying the Bible, prayer, praise, and worship, to activate the body's natural healing processes and promote physical and emotional well-being. By activating the Word and utilizing frequencies that align with Biblical principles, this approach aims to facilitate healing on multiple levels.

Cook’s Call for Change

The concept of the Soul-Spirit connection is also an important aspect of beliefs, and the idea that it is impacted by God's Glory and Victory can provide a sense of hope and assurance, especially in times of difficulty and uncertainty. Overall, the intersection of physical and spiritual experiences, as well as the role of religious beliefs and practices in shaping these experiences, is a fascinating area of study and reflection.  Also, the connection between the physiological response of the RAS, PONS and the spiritual experience of feeling peace and contentment when Bible reading. It suggests that our emotional and spiritual states are not separate from our physical bodies, but rather intricately connected and intersectional. The belief in the Bible as the Word of God is a cornerstone of many religious traditions, and the idea that it contains divine guidance for humanity can provide a sense of comfort and direction for those who follow it.

• RAS-Peace: In John 14:27, Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." When we are in a relationship with Christ, we can experience a deep sense of peace that surpasses understanding, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
• PONS-Joy: In John 15:11, Jesus says, "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." When we abide in Christ and allow His love to fill us, we can experience a deep and abiding joy that is not dependent on our circumstances.
• Love: In 1 John 4:8, we read that "God is love." When we have a personal relationship with Christ, we can experience the unconditional love of God in a profound way, and we can also learn to love others with that same love.
• Thymus-Hope: In Romans 15:13, we read, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." When we put our trust in Christ, we can have a hope that transcends this life and looks forward to eternal life with Him.
• ARAS- Wisdom: In James 1:5, we read, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." When we seek the wisdom of God through prayer and study of His Word, we can experience a deeper understanding of His will and purpose for our lives.

CRITICIZING 

As human beings, it can be tempting to criticize and judge others, especially when we witness behavior or attitudes that we do not agree with or understand. However, as followers of the Lord, we are called to love one another and to refrain from criticizing those whom the Lord has not denounced. It is also important to recognize that holding onto anger, hatred, deceit, and judgment can harm others and ourselves. Criticizing those who have not been denounced by the Lord can stem from these negative emotions and perpetuate harm. Instead, we should strive to practice empathy, understanding, and compassion towards others, recognizing that we all have struggles and challenges to overcome.

For neurodiverse individuals, letting go of negative emotions can be particularly challenging, but seeking help and guidance can lead to healing and peace. Through faith and spiritual practices, we can find comfort and strength in God's love. Criticizing others can stem from negative emotions and perpetuate harm, so practicing empathy and compassion towards others is crucial in promoting understanding and acceptance.

In the book of James, we are warned against speaking evil against one another and judging others. James 4:11-12 says, "Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?"

This passage reminds us that it is not our place to judge others. Instead, we are called to love and serve one another, just as the Lord has loved and served us. Jesus himself taught us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). If we are quick to criticize and judge others, we are not living out this commandment to love one another.

Furthermore, when we criticize those whom the Lord has not denounced, we are going against His will and His plan for us. Proverbs 6:16-19 warns us against sowing discord and strife among others, saying, "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."

In conclusion, as followers of the Lord, we are called to love one another and to refrain from criticizing those whom the Lord has not denounced. Let us seek to build up one another and to speak words of encouragement and grace, rather than words of judgment and criticism. May we always remember the words of Jesus, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you" (John 15:12).

Prudential Personalism

In the context of Bible literacy and education, prudential personalism and the gift of prudence are important concepts to consider when studying and applying biblical teachings to our lives. By recognizing the complexity and diversity of human experience, and by cultivating the gift of prudence, we can develop a deeper understanding of the ethical and moral dimensions of the Bible, and apply its teachings in a way that is both meaningful and relevant to our own lives.

What does this verse mean to you?

The Thymus, which in this case, is the mind, specifically the Authority of Shaddai. He represents hope upon faith. The thymus gland is also associated with the immune system and the instruction on peace-loving. The mind is the seat of consciousness, thought, and emotion. In the Christian faith, the mind is considered essential to the process of faith and understanding. The Bible teaches that the mind must be transformed and renewed to align with God's will and purpose for humanity. This transformation is achieved through the study of the Word, prayer, and meditation. Finally, the Omnipresence of God refers to the belief that God is present everywhere at all times. This means that God is not limited by time or space and can be with His people no matter where they are. The Omnipresence of God provides comfort and assurance to believers, knowing that God is always with them and will never leave them.  

• (us) The Spirit of Knowledge, which serves as both the Counselor and Intercessor, represents the knowledge of great hope. This spirit brings awareness and insight into the mysteries of God and allows us to gain deeper knowledge of His ways and leads us to a greater understanding of His Word.
• (others) The Fear/Awe of Great Faith is represented by the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord, which serves as both the Standby and the Strengthener. This spirit brings a sense of awe, reverence, and respect for God and helps us recognize the greatness and majesty of God, leading us to worship Him in humility and love.
• Together, these attributes of the mind work to provide a strong foundation of faith and knowledge, while also maintaining a healthy respect for God's power and authority, mind and the authority of Shaddai, as well as their relation to the Christian faith.

The authority of Shaddai refers to the power and sovereignty of God. Shaddai is one of the names of God in the Bible and is often translated as "Almighty." This name emphasizes God's power and ability to accomplish His purposes for humanity. The authority of Shaddai provides hope for believers, knowing that God is in control and working for their good. Always in prayer and ask for His guidance and strength as you pray such as Jesus’ prayed: 

• Jehova- I pray in the name of Exodus 6:1-8, where you reveal yourself to Moses as Jehovah and assure him of your promises. Help me to trust in your promises and to follow your guidance in every aspect of my life.
• Adonai- We lift up your name in accordance with the words of Isaiah 22:24, declaring that all the glory of our family hangs on you, O Lord. You are the foundation of our lives, the source of our strength, and the provider of our every need.
• Shaddai- We lift up the people of Israel, your chosen people, in accordance with the words of Romans 9:4. 
• Elohim- We acknowledge the words of Revelation 13:9, and we recognize the importance of listening to your voice and obeying your commands. 

The concept of hope upon faith relates to the Christian belief in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God, received by faith. Hope upon faith means that believers trust in God's promises and have confidence in His ability to fulfill them. The thymus is an organ in the immune system responsible for the development of T cells. It is also associated with the emotions of love and compassion in some spiritual traditions.

In the Christian faith, the thymus may be viewed as a symbol of the instruction of peace-loving, which emphasizes the importance of love, compassion, and kindness in the life of a believer. The "message of the gospel" or "the mystery of the Kingdom" refers to the central message of the Christian faith, which is the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. This message emphasizes the love and grace of God and invites all people to receive salvation through faith. 

Remember: By cultivating the gift of prudence, we can apply biblical teachings in a way that is both meaningful and relevant to our own lives, making wise and practical decisions that reflect our values and beliefs. Ultimately, prudential personalism and the gift of prudence can help us develop a deeper and more authentic relationship with God, and with one another.

Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and reorganize itself throughout life, including the creation of new neural connections and the pruning of existing ones, in response to experiences, learning, and environmental stimuli.

Write down and study any words or phrases that “stick out” to you? 

RAS-Reticular Activating System aka His Insight Into The Heart is a key aspect of our being, representing the seat of our emotions, desires, and motivations. This insight into God's love also helps a person to understand the depth of his mercy and grace. Mercy is God's compassion towards those who are in distress, while grace is his unmerited favor towards sinners. The Power of Elohim, which is the power of God, enables him to show mercy and extend grace to those who seek him. This power can transform a person's heart, filling them with a desire to follow God and live according to his will. In essence, the Power of Elohim refers to God's ability to change hearts, minds, and lives, leading to a transformation that reflects his love, mercy, and grace. The Power of Elohim, which is characterized by Mercy and Grace, is a fundamental aspect of God's nature that allows Him to show compassion and kindness towards us, even when we don't deserve it.

• (us) The Spirit of Wisdom is a powerful force that brings insight, understanding, and practical knowledge to help us navigate through life. This spirit allows us to see the world through God's perspective and make wise decisions, based on His guidance and leading.
• (others) The Spirit of Understanding brings comprehension, discernment, and an understanding of spiritual truths. This helps us to understand the deeper meaning behind the words and actions of others, as well as God's Word.
• Together, help us to develop a deeper understanding of God's nature and character, and to become more like Him in our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. They also enable us to love others more fully, with the same kind of mercy and grace that God shows to us. When we recognize and embrace this aspect of God's character, it can help us to become more merciful and gracious towards others, which is an important part of living a godly life.

RAS (Reticular Activating System) is a part of the brain that helps filter incoming information and decides what to pay attention to "message of the cross". This is the belief that Jesus Christ died on the cross to atone for the sins of humanity and offer salvation to those who believe in him. Through the cross, His Omnipotence, which is God's unlimited power and ability to do anything that is consistent with his nature, including the ability to bring about salvation.

God's power and love are intertwined, and that through the cross, God demonstrates his love for humanity by offering them forgiveness and redemption. The Heart, the RAS, is the innermost part of a person, often associated with emotions, desires, and beliefs by "Power of Elohim” which is God's mercy and grace, He has the power to transform a person's heart, filling it with compassion, forgiveness, and love. When the heart is filled with the insight into God's true love, it activates the RAS, helping to focus on positive and loving thoughts.

Epigenetics

Feeling discontented with one's job, home or career can be a frustrating and discouraging experience. However, it is important to recognize that this feeling of dissatisfaction can often be a result of chasing after things that can never truly satisfy us. As the saying goes, "chasing the wind."

To break out of this cycle of dissatisfaction, we need to be willing to accept instruction and guidance from others. Instead of constantly seeking more and more, we need to focus on being content with what we have and making the most of the opportunities that are in front of us.

Deliverance Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus, asking for deliverance from any situation that is hindering me from living a life that glorifies you. Your word says that whatever we ask in Jesus' name, you will do it so that you may be glorified in the Son. Therefore, I ask that you deliver me from every form of addiction, sickness, depression, anxiety, fear, and any other stronghold that is hindering me from living a life that honors you.

Lord, I believe that you have the power to break every chain and set me free. I ask that you renew my mind, fill me with your peace, and empower me with your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your unfailing love, mercy, and grace. I trust that you will answer my prayers according to your will and for your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Renewal Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the promise in John 14:13 that whatever we ask in Jesus' name, you will do it so that you may be glorified in the Son. Lord, I ask that you renew my mind and transform me by the renewing of my mind, according to your will.

I pray that you would help me to think on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Help me to focus my thoughts on what is excellent and praiseworthy. I ask that you would give me the strength to resist the temptation to think negatively or dwell on the things of the past.

Father, I ask that you would fill me with your Holy Spirit, empowering me to live a life that is pleasing to you. May my life be a testimony of your grace, mercy, and love to those around me. I trust that you will answer my prayers according to your perfect will and for your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

It's also important to avoid complaining to the Lord about our situation. While it's natural to want to vent our frustrations, complaining can actually exacerbate our discontent and prevent us from seeing the opportunities for growth and change that are available to us.

Ultimately, we need to remember that we are at odds with our Maker when we allow our discontent to consume us. Instead, we should seek to align our desires with God's will for our lives, trusting that He has a purpose and plan for us that is greater than anything we can imagine. In summary, to overcome feelings of discontent with our job, home, or career, we need to accept instruction, avoid complaining, and align our desires with God's will for our lives. By doing so, we can break free from the cycle of dissatisfaction and find true contentment in all areas of our lives.

His Endless Love

The PONS in this case is The Glory of Adonai refers to the splendor and majesty of God, and His ultimate victory over all things. It represents the authority and power of God, as well as the joy and life that come from being in His presence. The Council of Great Glory refers to the wisdom and guidance that come from seeking God's counsel. It represents the idea that we are not meant to go through life alone, but rather to seek the wisdom and advice of God and other wise counselors. The Bible teaches that God's glory and victory are inseparable and reveal His divine nature and character. The glory of God is His visible manifestation, which displays His power, majesty, and splendor, while His victory represents His triumph over evil and the restoration of His creation.

The assurance and hope that the soul finds in God's glory and victory come from the understanding that God is sovereign and in control of everything. He is the creator of the universe, and His purposes for humanity are good and just. The Bible teaches that God's plan for humanity includes salvation through Jesus Christ and the ultimate restoration of all things.

The belief in the Bible as the Word of God and divine revelation means that it contains the knowledge and guidance necessary for the soul to grow in its relationship with God. The Bible teaches that God's wisdom and understanding are revealed to those who seek Him with a sincere heart. Through prayer, meditation, and study of the Word, the soul can discern God's will and purpose for their lives.

In conclusion, the glory and victory of God provide assurance and hope to the human soul, knowing that God is in control and working towards His purposes for humanity. The belief in the Bible as the Word of God allows the soul to receive divine guidance and wisdom to navigate the challenges of life.

• (us) The Spirit of Council is one of the seven spirits of God described in the Book of Isaiah. It represents the idea that God's Spirit is a source of wisdom and guidance in our lives, helping us to make wise decisions and navigate difficult situations.
• (others) The Power of Great Victory represents the strength and authority that come from being on the winning side of God's ultimate victory. It represents the idea that we have the power to overcome any obstacle or challenge in our lives, because we are empowered by the victory of Jesus Christ.
• The Spirit of Power is another one of the seven spirits of God described in the Book of Isaiah. It represents the idea that God's Spirit is a source of strength and power in our lives, helping us to overcome our weaknesses and accomplish great things in His name. The Spirit of Power is also a teacher, guiding us in the ways of God and showing us how to use our power for His glory.

Furthermore, the PONS (part of the Parasympathetic Nervous System) is responsible for regulating the body's rest and relaxation response. When the soul is filled with the command of life-joy, it activates the PONS, leading to feelings of peace, joy, and contentment. 

God's Glory and Victory provide assurance and hope to the soul, knowing that God is in control and will ultimately bring about his purposes for humanity by the "message of the word". The belief that the Bible is the Word of God and contains divine revelation and guidance for humanity. The Soul, the spiritual and immortal part of a person, often associated with the person's inner life and relationship with God, is impacted by the Glory of Adonai, which is the glory and victory of God which is His God's Omniscience. His all-knowing nature means that he has perfect knowledge of everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen in the future. This includes the understanding of the human condition and the challenges that people face in their lives. Through the Bible and the "Word", God reveals his wisdom and understanding to guide and direct his people accordingly. 

Neuropedagogy

Neuropedagogy  is a field of study that combines neuroscience and pedagogy, with the aim of understanding how the brain processes information and how this knowledge can be used to improve teaching and learning. 

Trauma-informed classrooms explore spiritual, neurological, and environmental factors and the importance of recognizing the intersection of Bible literacy, prudential personalism, epigenetics, neurodiversity, and neuroplasticity when applying biblical teachings to education and other settings. Trauma-informed classrooms are designed to create a safe and supportive learning environment for students who have experienced trauma. These classrooms recognize and respond to the unique needs of students who have experienced trauma and other strongholds by providing support and resources that help students feel empowered and in control of their learning experiences. 

Neuropedagogy is an approach that combines neuroscience, psychology, and education to create an authentic and effective learning experience. It recognizes that each individual processes information differently, and that our brains are wired with dissimilarity, meaning that each neural pathway is connected differently to process the same information.

Neuropedagogy takes a holistic, biblical approach to discovery of the inner-being, resilience, and spiritual growth, and aims to stimulate new zones of the brain, increase self-directed neuroplasticity, and create connections (neural pathways) for learning to be successful. This approach recognizes that learning is not just about acquiring information, but also about developing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around us.

By understanding how the brain works and how it processes information, educators can create learning experiences that are tailored to the spiritual individual needs of each learner. This approach can help to increase engagement, motivation, and success in the learning process. Neuropedagogy also recognizes the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where learners feel valued and respected. This approach emphasizes the importance of developing social-emotional skills, such as empathy, self-awareness, and self-regulation, in addition to academic skills.

In conclusion, a spiritual approach learning model combines neuroscience, psychology, and education to create a holistic and effective learning experience. It recognizes the unique wiring of each individual's brain and aims to stimulate new zones of the brain, increase self-directed neuroplasticity, and create connections (neural pathways) for successful learning. By creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment, this approach can help learners develop social-emotional skills and achieve academic success.

The intersection of Bible literacy, prudential personalism, neurodiversity, epigenetics, and neuroplasticity is important to consider when applying biblical teachings to education and other settings. Bible literacy refers to the understanding and knowledge of the Bible and its teachings. Prudential personalism emphasizes the importance of respecting the dignity and worth of every person. Neurodiversity recognizes the diversity of human brains and minds, and the unique strengths and challenges that come with it such as an epigenetic study of how experiences and environment can change gene expression and neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt in response to experiences and learning.

When applying biblical teachings to education and other settings i.e. public schools, private practices, learning centers, workplaces, adult living centers, treatment centers, churches, orphanages, or even homes. It is important to recognize the complexity and diversity of human experiences and to create inclusive and supportive environments that address the unique needs of each individual. This includes recognizing the impact of trauma and other strongholds, respecting the dignity and worth of every person, and creating learning experiences that accommodate the diverse needs of learners.

In conclusion, a trauma-informed classroom is designed to create a safe and supportive learning environment for students who have experienced trauma. The intersection of Bible literacy, prudential personalism, neurodiversity, epigenetics, and neuroplasticity is important to consider when applying biblical teachings to education and other settings, as it helps to create inclusive and supportive environments that address the unique needs of each individual by cultivating the gift of prudence and our very own holy character we can apply biblical teachings in a way that is both meaningful and relevant to our own lives, making wise and practical decisions that reflect our values and beliefs. Ultimately, prudential personalism and the gift of prudence can help us develop a deeper and more authentic relationship with God, and with one another.

[Note: It's important to note that neurodiversity is not centered around external validation or approval, but rather refers to natural variations in neurological development and functioning. However, certain neurodivergent conditions may make individuals more sensitive to external validation or approval. Overall, while neurodivergent conditions may impact how individuals experience and respond to external validation or approval, it's important to recognize that everyone has unique needs and experiences, regardless of neurological variation.]
