Psychology of Mind and Behavior offers students a unique opportunity to explore how people learn, think, grow, and relate through the integration of psychological science and Biblical truth. This course examines foundational psychology topics such as brain function, learning and memory, thinking and language, personality, and social behavior. Throughout the year, students investigate how contemporary research in neuroscience increasingly affirms Biblical principles.

The goal of this course is to equip students with scientifically informed knowledge that is immediately applicable to daily life, empowering meaningful personal development and transformation through the practical understanding of mind and behavior. Psychological and neuroscience concepts are presented in an accessible way, making the course intriguing for all.

Students engage directly with psychological science through hands-on activities, class discussions, case studies, experiments, and reflective practices that connect psychological theory to real-life application and spiritual growth. Homework includes unit projects, journaling, and reading from selected books, Scripture, and devotionals. By the end of the course, students will gain a scientifically grounded understanding of God’s design for the brain and how this insight can help form intentional development of their own thoughts, personality, character, learning, and relationships.
