In this conversation, author, speaker, and Bible teacher Kathleen Marie Johnson (“Scripture Girl”) explores how radical healing moves us from survival to spiritual flow. We unpack the mind–body connection, the biology of belief, how stillness resets a fight-or-flight system, and why music and worship tune us back to harmony. Kathleen shares insights from her new book “Healed to Heal,” weaving faith and neuroscience to show how surrender and daily discipline open space for restoration—and prepare us to serve others from overflow.

   

About the guest  :

 

Kathleen Marie Johnson is an author, speaker, and Bible teacher known as “Scripture Girl.” Her work centers on spiritual formation, stillness, and the mind–body–spirit connection, inviting people to embody the biblical truth that “the Spirit gives life.”

   

Key takeaways:  

  • Healing expands capacity to serve: Receiving restoration deepens conviction and equips us to point others to hope and practical resources.

  • Faith + neuroscience align: Belief shifts biology (placebo is only the surface). Thoughts and emotions influence the nervous system and bloodstream.

  • Train the “wild stallion” mind: Start with 2–3 minutes of stillness daily. Neuroplasticity makes returning to rest easier over time.

  • From analysis to awareness: Move out of left-brain overthinking into receptive presence; let peace—not adrenaline—set the tone.

  • Worship is resonance, not performance: Music and praise help the brain and body synchronize with harmony and calm.

  • Notice state, then shift: Constriction, comparison, and reactivity signal “flesh/ego” mode; choose practices that re-open flow (breath, prayer, scripture meditation).

  • Rest is not laziness: It’s the physiological doorway from chronic stress to repair, “rest and digest,” and clearer spiritual discernment.

  • Discipline enables surrender: The work is training attention so the Spirit’s “living water” can flow naturally through daily life.

  • Start small, keep going: Micro-practices compound—minutes of silence, gentle worship, gratitude lists, and scripture meditation build durable peace.

  • From healed to healer: Don’t let restoration stop with you; share stories, skills, and support so healing ripples outward.
