  • The Brain on Hate
    Jan 21 2025

    In this Women Arise podcast, I interviewed Dr. Mario Mendez about how the brain is wired and responds through hate. Each of us has a brain, and it is wired in particular ways to the in-group and the out-group. How can we, as people of faith and hope, come into a sense of our being to bring about a world free from hate?

    Please consider Harper Hill Global in your tithes and offerings. As we bring light to the world, together, we can overcome.
