SUMMARY:Pub Theology: "You Are Not Your Brain: Neuroscience\, Addiction\, and Identity" with the Rev. Robin Hinkle
DESCRIPTION:at Vector Brewing\, 9850 Walnut Hill Ln #405\, Dallas\, TX 75238 \nClose out this year’s Pub Theology series on Monday\, June 22 with a powerful and deeply personal conversation: “You Are Not Your Brain: Neuroscience\, Addiction\, and Identity\,” led by The Rev. Robin H. Hinkle\, Associate for Pastoral Care at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. \nAs neuroscience continues to reveal more about how our brains function\, questions of identity\, free will\, and human dignity come into sharper focus—especially in the context of addiction and mental health. How do we understand the relationship between brain chemistry and the soul? Where is God’s grace in the struggle for healing and wholeness? And how can faith communities respond with compassion and hope? \nDrawing on both theological insight and pastoral experience\, the Rev. Robin Hinkle will explore the intersection of neuroscience\, addiction\, and identity\, offering a message grounded in grace\, resilience\, and the truth that we are more than the sum of our biology. \nPub Theology is a speaker and music series designed to engage the wider community in meaningful conversation. Each gathering offers theological\, challenging\, and thought-provoking discussion in a relaxed\, welcoming pub environment—equally comfortable for parishioners\, invited friends\, and curious newcomers alike. \nThis year’s series explores scientific and technological developments—from artificial intelligence to communications\, neurology\, and physics—considering how these discoveries invite deeper theological reflection and new insights into the life of faith. \nJoin us for the fourth and final Monday night in June for meaningful conversation\, community\, and cold beer. Doors open at 6 p.m.\, the program begins at 7 p.m.\, and the evening includes time for Q&A. \nLearn more at saintmichael.org/pubtheology
