Shownotes

In Episode 25, host Chad LaComb sits down with Dr. Lu Wing, a molecular biologist and pastor, to explore the groundbreaking science of epigenetics and its profound intersection with addiction and faith. Dr. Wing, author of The Genes of Eden, explains that while we may inherit predispositions for addiction, our genes are not our destiny. We dive into the concept of Somatic Theology, the belief that our bodies are the "temple" where spiritual disciplines like prayer and meditation manifest as physical resilience. From the "Original Sin" of DNA methylation to the neuroplasticity of "progressive sanctification," this episode offers a roadmap for anyone looking to understand how a life in Christ literally rewires the brain and body for recovery. Don't forget to Like, Follow, and Share. Addiction is the secret many families keep. Let's bring the light of faith and science to the conversation. #Epigenetics #BiologyOfRecovery #SomaticTheology
