Alligator Seeds Podcast

Alligator Seeds Podcast

Alligator seeds are those seeds of social behavior that we are given by caregivers or exposed to in early childhood. The alligator represents our “reptile” brain, or our survival brain. This is the mind we have that encourages our lower natures and that helped us at one point in meeting our needs. The episodes here discuss aspects of social problems and take a look at the root problems from the Biblical and Sociological lens. Follow along for topics!
