Welcome to More Christ. We seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions.

He earned his M.D. in 1990 from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Memphis and completed his psychiatric residency at D.D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia.

Forced social isolation, shuttered businesses and canceled or scaled-down worship services have contributed to an overwhelming sense of loss and fear among people all over the world. And there's a scientific reason for these emotions, explains Timothy R. Jennings, M.D., board-certified psychiatrist, master psychopharmacologist and founder of Come and Reason Ministries. Dr. Jennings is a much sought-after speaker who regularly addresses non-medical professionals on the subjects of Spirituality in Medicine, Depression and its Spiritual and Physical Connections, and Alzheimer's Dementia. He also speaks to medical professionals on the topics of Psychotherapy in Clinical Practice, Major Depression in the Primary Care Setting, and the Neurobiology of Depression — among many others. He describes how the measures taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 can have physiological and psychological impacts that, like dominoes, will topple our sources of strength and resilience. “Research shows that social rejection, isolation and loneliness activate the brain's stress pathways, thereby increasing inflammatory factors, diminishing immune response and increasing vulnerability to viral infections and cancer, and make you less resilient in life,” he says. In the shadow of government mandates that restrict our interactions with others, what can we do within our four walls to build our resilience and guard our overall wellbeing? Dr. Jennings suggests we can boost our resilience through physical exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting regular sleep, cognitive training, having a healthy relationship with God and spiritual development — measures that can actually alter the way our brains react to stress. Web: https://comeandreason.com “Healthy spirituality confers resilience in a multitude of ways,” he says. “It develops your higher cortex, which calms your fear circuits. You have less fear and you're less anxious if you've got a developed prefrontal cortex. And if you have a loving relationship with a God you trust, that's part of your prefrontal cortex. And if people have more love, they have less fear.” Another part of our prefrontal cortex is altruism — something those with healthy spirituality are more likely to engage in — and helping others also calms fear circuits. Our ability to face a crisis and bounce back is, in part, inherited from our parents and even grandparents through our genetic makeup, Dr. Jennings explains. But through a combination of mental, physical and spiritual adaptive measures, we can boost our resilience and improve our ability to overcome life's challenges. Dr. Timothy R. Jennings operates a private practice in Chattanooga and has successfully treated thousands of patients. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and Life-Fellow of the Southern Psychiatric Association. He is also a prolific author whose books include The God-Shaped Brain: How Changing Your View of God Transforms Your Life; Could It Be This Simple? A Biblical Model for Healing the Mind; The Aging Brain: Proven Steps to Prevent Dementia and Sharpen Your Mind; and The God-Shaped Heart: How Correctly Understanding God's Love Transforms Us.

Look around. The world is frightened, we're buying guns at record rates to protect ourselves. We're distrustful, angry, and violent. Psychiatrist Tim Jennings says all these are signs of a fear-based society. Our brains have been triggered to respond this way when presented with threats, but we can change this! We can do specific things to come back to the love-based way of life spoken of in scripture. For more information about Dr. Jennings, click here. Timothy R.

Trust can get broken so easily, but we can build a new trust by cognitively reassessing our situations.  It takes time and effort, but it is worth it. There was a rebuilding that needed to happen. It was a rebuilding of trust in themselves and with others. Somewhere, some time, every one of us is going to have our trust broken. We live with an expectation that certain things will happen the way we believe they will happen. The rules won’t get broken. That the promises made will be kept. But trust gets broken in many different areas of our lives. relationships career health Government Church God I once sat with a man who, in his late forties, discovered he had manic depressive episodes. Up till then, everything seemed fine. His wife told me that he had had a few strange moments in his life with some weird ideas, but for the most part, he lived within the bounds of what anyone would call normal. Then all of a sudden, his illness truly took control, and he started acting highly erratically. He was admitted into the psych ward and began the journey into an awareness of his broken self. With medication, support, and guidance, he returned to his family and started to rebuild his life. But there was a deep loss of trust in himself, his world, and his God. As he talked with me, there was a need to rebuild trust in himself. The beliefs he had about himself, life, and God were all lying in rubble. Trust questions knawed at his soul. Do I trust my thinking? Where was God? What do I believe now? Who do I trust? Shame and guilt pounded on his soul. ‘What a fool’ was spoken out more than once. When you’re in a hole, it’s easy to drown in the dirt you’re digging in. Broken trust Bible The Bible is full of stories where trust has been broken. Josephs relationship with his brothers Davids affair with Bathsheba Peters denial of Jesus Christ With each of these moments, there was a time where there was a breach of trust. Joseph trusted his brothers, but they sold him into slavery. Could he trust them again? David broke marriage vows and commitments to God. Could he be trustworthy again as a man and as a leader? Peter broke his trust relationship with Jesus by denying him and leaving him alone. Could Jesus trust him again? All of these examples, plus many more, show the fragility of trust. Trust is finite; life is fragile. There is a Fragility As I sat with the man discovering his manic depressive illness, I witnessed his awareness grow about his fragility. That given the right amount of stress, lack of sleep, and with a body that was vulnerable in its own particular way, then the fragility would crack. He would become unwell and unstable. He was becoming aware of his weaknesses. Before the breakdown, he would have given theoretical assent to this weakness, but now he was truly knowing and embracing it on a soul level. He could have talked about physical weaknesses on a theological level, but now he was searching for God amongst the rubble of his own torn down city. There is a fragility in life we can’t control and is open to breaches of trust. Cognitive reassessments Rebuilding trust requires the ‘brick by brick’ work of cognitively reassessing that which we are trusting in. A cognitive reassessment means to look at the facts. The brick and mortar of the situation. Is there change? What actually has been done? Brick by brick, we can build it from the floorIf we hold on to each other,we’ll be better than before. Train Our subconscious can be reprogrammed through cognitive reassessments of behaviors. Joseph had to do a cognitive reassessment of his brothers to see whether they could be trusted again. He did this by giving them several tests. David could not be trusted to be leader and King again without going through his dark night of the soul. The behaviors of repentance and sorrow marked a changed life. Jesus could once again trust Peter when he saw the brokenness of his heart.  He had to tell Peter three times of his trust in him. Build a new trust How do we build a new trust in ourselves and others? There is a process, and it requires deep listening into the soul.  1. Listen for the voices of mistrustWe all have those voices of mistrust that say, ‘Don’t trust, you’ll get hurt again.’ We need to recognize them and pay attention to them, but we don’t necessarily have to agree with them. Those whispers may well be the subconscious brain trying to keep us safe. They are there for a reason. What would the reason be? 2. Look for the factsWe can so easily get caught up in the emotions of the past that we judge the present by the past. Instead, we need to look for the facts of the now. We look for the changes made. Tangible, observable, and real. Is there evidence of a change? 3. Know your lines of love and respectMany people use the word ‘Boundaries,’ but I prefer ‘Lines of Love and Respect.’ It’s that line where you have a sense of love and respect for yourself and others. ‘I show love and respect for others by not calling them in the middle of the night wanting to have a chat. I know that if I did, I would be ‘crossing a line.” ‘Others demonstrate love and respect for me by the behaviors of not calling me in the middle of the night. They understand that this would be ‘crossing a line.” Understanding and accepting your own needs of love and respect is part of rebuilding trust in yourself and others. When people continue to show disrespect or an unloving approach to the lines of love and respect I have around me, I begin to trust them less. If someone keeps ringing me in the middle of the night, showing no respect for my needs of sleep and rest, then the line becomes a fence, then a wall with barbed wire, then a wall with machine guns and guard dogs. Sometimes you have to tell people your ‘lines of love and respect.’ At times, you have to repeatedly tell them and then follow up any breaches with natural consequences. Trust builds when everyone agrees on the lines of love and respect. When people keep ‘crossing the line,’ and you have to enforce some consequences, remember you are not rejecting them; instead, you are rejecting their behaviors. How can you walk as one with someone unless there is a level of trust? Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 4. Rehearse the truth What is the truth that you are thinking out of? We often need to tell ourselves new truths that will rebuild a sense of trust in ourselves and others. ‘That was then; this is now.’ ‘I am no longer the same person I was then.’ ‘The past does not define who I am. I choose to live in the present.’ ‘I am not the mistakes I have made.’ ‘I have changed. I have grown.’ ‘I am no longer doing those same things I did back then.’ ‘I now have these guardrails in place.’ ‘I now understand Early Warning Signs‘ ‘I have lines of love and respect in my relationships (boundaries)’ ‘I don’t have to walk with someone I am not in agreement with.’ Trust can get broken so easily, but we can build new trust by cognitively reassessing the situations we are in.  It takes time and effort, but it is worth it. Quotes to consider “I didn’t reject you, I rejected your behaviour. Change your behaviour, before we can walk together again.” D. Riddell Just because you forgive someone does not mean you must trust them – that has to be earned back again. David Riddell How can I re-assess you until you demonstrate your changed mind? Until then I must keep you trapped in your past, for restitution must come before restoration of trust. D. Riddell God is no stranger to the process of repairing damaged relationships. His trust has been broken many times by those he loves. John Townsend and Dr. Cloud Henry You get your confidence and intuition back by trusting yourself, by being militantly on your own side. Anne Lamott Rebuilding shattered trust necessitates reliable actions over time. Stefanie Carnes  Talk’s easy, work’s hard. Consistent trustworthy behavior over time equals trust. Notice the word consistent is emphasized. Consistency is the key to the process. This becomes an even greater challenge because “addiction is a disorder that is characterized by relapse.” Stefanie Carnes  We forgive, but we base our trust on the trustworthiness of the other person. Timothy R. Jennings  Questions to answer Are you still held back by voices saying not to trust? Why are those thoughts there? What are your ‘Lines of love and respect’? What truths do you need to feed your brain with to rebuild trust? Are you ‘militantly on your own side’? Further reading Barry Pearman Photo by David Boca on Unsplash
