#94 Can Faith Really Calm Your Nervous System? How God Designed Your Body for Peace

Ever wonder if your faith can actually calm your mind and body? In this episode, Eve King unpacks the fascinating connection between faith, science, and the vagus nerve—the body’s built-in pathway to peace.

You’ll learn what vagal tone really means, how your ventral and dorsal vagal pathways shape your emotional responses, and why understanding your nervous system can help you move through anxiety, overwhelm, or depression with more grace and awareness.

From simple, science-backed tools like slow breathing, prayer, and movement to biblical truth that anchors your heart, Eve shares how God designed your body to find calm—not by striving harder, but by learning to rest in His design.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between fight, flight, or shutdown, or wondered why peace sometimes feels out of reach, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—and how to partner with God in restoring balance to your mind, body, and spirit.

💡 You’ll Learn:

* What the vagus nerve is and why it matters for your emotional health

* How your ventral vagal pathway and dorsal vagal pathway influence anxiety and depression

* The science behind faith and nervous system regulation

* Practical, daily ways to strengthen your vagal tone (like prayer, breathwork, and movement)

* How to recognize when your body is in fight, flight, or shutdown—and gently return to peace

* What Scripture says about God’s peace guarding your heart and mind (Philippians 4:6–7)

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:7
