About the Pilot
The PHX Pilot for Amen WHOLE 4 Neuroscience Bible Study is a 6-week local pilot of the Amen WHOLE-4 curriculum. We are bringing together Scripture and neuroscience to help participants experience real transformation in every area of life.
Our Vision
We believe that getting healthy is an act of worship. By understanding how God designed our brains and bodies, we can cooperate with the Holy Spirit to renew our minds, restore relationships, and live with greater purpose.
Scripture-Centered
Every session is anchored in God's Word.
Brain-Science Informed
Practical neuroscience supports the spiritual journey.
Community-Focused
We grow better together in honest conversation.
Transformation-Oriented
The goal is lasting change, not just information.
The WHOLE-4 Framework
Developed by Dr. Daniel Amen and the team at Amen Clinics, the WHOLE-4 framework addresses the four key areas of whole-person health: Brain/Body, Mind, Relationships, and Spirit. The curriculum pairs biblical principles with evidence-based strategies to help you become the person God created you to be.
This pilot is an opportunity to experience the material in a local community setting, with hybrid participation available both in person and online.
