What if the most Spirit-filled worship also required one's full attention, deep thinking, and whole mind? With My Whole Mind confronts a long-standing tension in Pentecostal tradition: the perceived divide between passionate, Spirit-led worship and disciplined theological reflection. In this timely and necessary work, Dr. Christopher Bryant contends that Pentecostal faith must reclaim the life of the mind not as an afterthought, but as an essential expression of devotion. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and contemporary voices such as Nanez, Mouw, Sire, Yong, and Coulter, Bryant explores what it truly means to love God with the heart, soul, strength, and mind. From the Shema to Augustine, and from ancient Corinth to present-day revival, this book presents a compelling vision of integrated worship in which intellect and emotion work together rather than compete. Bryant extends both a pastoral invitation and a prophetic challenge, insisting that Spirit-filled believers must also become Spirit-formed thinkers. This is not a call to abandon fire in favor of formality, but rather an invitation to discover that, in the hands of God, the mind itself can burn with holy fire. This book is written for pastors, scholars, worshipers, and students who are seeking a deeper, more complete faith. It will help readers think more clearly, feel more deeply, and worship more fully.

Reviews for With My Whole Mind: A Pentecostal Integration of the Mind in Worship

""Dr. Christopher Bryant crafts a clarion call for Pentecostals to blend fervor with formation, revelation with reason, ecstasy with exegesis. With My Whole Mind restores the sacred balance of spirit and scholarship in worship."" --Brandon I. McCrae, CEO, BMac Ministry X Music LLC ""Pentecostalism is heartfelt at its core. But if we neglect the mind, we lose something essential. In this fascinating volume that demonstrates the very integration being advocated, Bishop Christopher Bryant echoes this often-neglected call of Christ to Pentecostals of the twenty-first century."" --Tony Blair, Legacy President, Evangelical Seminary ""The Apostle says in 1 Corinthians that if we pray in a tongue, our minds are unfruitful. It takes intentional discipleship to praise God with our mind, and I know of no better guide to the intersection of charismata and critical thought than this book. It is Bryant's gift to the Pentecostal Movement. Read, receive, and renew your reasonable acts of worship to the Lord."" --David Ketter, Research Coordinator, Liberty University
