Description

You love God. You want to grow spiritually. So why does faith sometimes feel harder than it seems for everyone else?


If you've ever struggled to stay consistent with prayer, found church exhausting, forgotten truths you deeply believe, or wondered why your spiritual journey looks different from those around you, you're not alone.


In Formed Differently, Sandra Littlejohn explores how different minds, bodies, and nervous systems experience spiritual formation. Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, she offers a neuro-affirming approach to Christian growth that doesn't change God's truth—it helps us better understand the people God created.


In this book, you'll discover:


• Why spiritual struggles aren't always spiritual failures.

• The difference between character and capacity.

• How safety, belonging, and nervous system regulation shape spiritual growth.

• Why ADHD, autism, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, and executive functioning can influence how we experience faith.

• How God meets each person within the unique way He created them.


Whether you're a neurodivergent Christian, a parent, pastor, counselor, ministry leader, or someone searching for a more compassionate understanding of faith, Formed Differently invites you to replace shame with curiosity and performance with relationship.


God isn't asking you to become someone else before He forms you. He's already at work in the person He created you to be.

If you've ever struggled to stay consistent with prayer, found church exhausting...
