Faith and physiology aren't separate conversations. This episode looks at what stress, prayer, and presence actually do in the body — measurably — and why a settled nervous system isn't a luxury. It's the condition for everything else you're trying to do.

"Peace isn't the absence of stress. It's a nervous system that can come back down."
