The Brain Remembers Grace: How Evocative Memories Restore Calm and Strength

What if one of God’s hidden gifts for healing is your brain’s ability to remember Grace? In this workshop, you will discover how emotionally rich memories of nurturing relationships, meaningful successes, sacred moments with God, and even sensory experiences like music, places, and objects can help restore calm, strengthen your core self, and bring stability when you feel overwhelmed or alone.
Join Scott Makin, Founder of the Institute for NeuroChange, for a 75-minute experiential workshop that blends neuroscience, biblical truth, and the NeuroRelational Framework™ to help you guide those you’re working with to become emotionally resilient.
Titus used evocative memories to help Paul when he was overwhelmed (2 Corinthians 7). The Israelites used 7 annual feasts (e.g., Passover, Tabernacles, Weeks) as reminders of God’s love and provision. Rather than relying solely on insight, willpower, new behavioral strategies, or coping techniques, evocative memories tap into the brain’s natural capacity for self-soothing by reactivating the same comforting neural pathways associated with belonging, being loved, safety, acceptance, value, and strength.
💡You will learn how evocative memories work, why they are so powerful in times of distress or aloneness, and how to help others intentionally access and deepen them. This powerful NeuroRelational Skill can help counselors, executive coaches, ministry leaders, and everyday believers to access deeper resilience, reduce aloneness, and intentionally build a richer inner world of grace-filled support. You will leave with practical techniques for facilitating past Grace into present strength.
