We are unbelievably honored to chat with Dr. Lee Warren—a renowned neurosurgeon, Iraq war veteran, acclaimed author, and speaker—to explore the powerful ways neuroscience and Scripture intersect to bring hope and healing. Dr. Warren’s story is a remarkable journey through intense personal challenges, including the heartbreaking loss of his son, Mitch, and his experiences serving in Iraq, all of which have shaped his perspective on resilience, faith, and personal transformation.

Dr. Warren shares insights from his best-selling books, "I've Seen the End of You" and "Hope is the First Dose," offering a window into his unique approach to overcoming trauma. In this episode, he unpacks the principles behind what he calls “self-brain surgery” or self-directed neuroplasticity—explaining how our minds can be actively reprogrammed to transform thought patterns, heal from pain, and unlock profound spiritual growth.

Together, we dive into his "treatment plan" for navigating life’s inevitable hardships and discuss the life-changing role of hope and supportive communities in the healing process. Dr. Warren also answers pressing questions from our community, including how alcohol impacts the brain and negatively affects our physical and mental health.

Tune in for an episode that will leave you with a renewed perspective on resilience, a deeper understanding of your brain’s potential, and practical tools to face life’s toughest moments with courage and faith.
