The Neurology of Victory | Pr. Daniel Gordan

Village Seventh-day Adventist Church

Peter instructs believers to long for God's Word with the same intensity that babies crave milk—with urgency and complete focus. Our brains constantly rewire themselves through neuroplasticity, forming pathways that become stronger with repetition. When we experience pleasure, dopamine reinforces our desires, but many harmful stimuli can hijack this system. The profound exchange between Jesus and Peter reveals that when we confess who Jesus is, He declares who we are. By intentionally creating neural pathways focused on Christ rather than controversy, we can rewire our brains for faith instead of fear.
