How to Train Your Dog The Simple, Brain‑Based Method for Mastering Your Sinful Nature How to Train Your Dog is a bold, biblical, and deeply practical guide that helps believers understand and master the part of themselves Paul describes as “the flesh”—the impulsive, reactive, undisciplined nature that pulls us away from God’s best. In this book, the “dog” is a metaphor for the sinful nature, the untrained impulses, cravings, and emotional reactions that—if left unchecked—can sabotage relationships, purpose, and spiritual growth. But like any dog, the flesh can be trained, disciplined, and brought under the authority of the Spirit. --- The Brain‑Based, Bible‑Based Approach The book blends: • Biblical anthropology — what Scripture teaches about the flesh, the soul, and the Spirit • Neuroscience of habits — how impulses and patterns are formed • Emotional regulation — how to calm the “dog” before it bites • Spiritual disciplines — how to strengthen the Spirit so it leads, not follows The result is a simple, repeatable method anyone can use to gain mastery over reactions, cravings, anger, fear, and self‑sabotaging behaviors.
