Dr. Lee Warren addresses late-night anxiety and intrusive thoughts, explaining that the brain’s alarm response isn’t proof you’re broken but a reaction to untested, often-untrue automatic thoughts. He teaches self-brain surgery, beginning with a thought biopsy (catching and evaluating thoughts), then removing harmful falsehoods and transplanting truth, using Philippians 4:4–9 as a practical prescription: pray, present requests with thanksgiving, and let God’s peace “guard” heart and mind.He connects gratitude research to brain function (amygdala, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus) and emphasizes that focused, repeated attention reshapes the brain. He links Paul’s list (true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy) to Psalm 19’s description of God’s Word, urging meditation and repeated practice.The most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain SurgeryCheck out the Self-Brain Surgery® Coaching App! https://studio.com/apps/selfbrainsurgery/brain The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

Dr. Lee Warren interviews therapist and author Dr. Chuck DeGroat about deep, lasting identity-level transformation and DeGroat’s new book, "Who You Are Becoming: The Slow and Courageous Work of Cultivating Character in a Narcissistic Age."They clarify how “narcissism” is often overused, describe it as a spectrum that can include narcissistic personality disorder, and discuss defensiveness as a nervous-system survival strategy that requires safety, accountability, and time to reshape. The conversation explores cultural pressures toward performance, platform, instant maturity, and social-media mirroring, contrasting them with integrity, compassion, and becoming the beloved. DeGroat connects ancient Christian wisdom (Augustine, Teresa of Avila, Brueggemann’s orientation/disorientation/reorientation) with contemporary neuroscience to describe the path from fragmentation to wholeness through slow, courageous, grace-filled inner work.Get your copy of "Who You're Becoming": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJF5GD2C?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackConnect with Mark Batterson: https://www.chuckdegroat.net/The most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain SurgeryCheck out the Self-Brain Surgery® Coaching App! https://studio.com/apps/selfbrainsurgery/brain The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

You’ll learn how to cultivate a non-anxious presence by developing:Holy courage—the boldness to stand firm in your convictions without being controlled by others’ opinions.Spiritual discernment—the sense to know which battles are yours to fight and which ones aren’t.Amazing grace—the ability to engage those you disagree with, maintaining your witness without taking on their anxiety.For anyone ready to stop reflecting culture and start transforming it, Not My Circus offers a road map to escape the cult of conformity—and live for the applause of nail-scarred hands.Get your copy of "Not My Circus": https://www.amazon.com/Not-My-Circus-Conviction-Compassion/dp/B0GSHTJ45M?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&language=en_US&gaOptInStatus=trueConnect with Mark Batterson: https://www.markbatterson.com/The most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain SurgeryCheck out the Self-Brain Surgery® Coaching App! https://studio.com/apps/selfbrainsurgery/brain The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

By popular demand, I'm releasing the other 2 episodes in the 3-part Self-Brain Surgery series from my YouTube channel covering Dr. Charles Stanley's 30 Life Principles.Go back to my neurosurgery training with me to the day I had my first experience of delivering a fatal brain cancer diagnosis. I had to learn to be empathetic, truthful, and realistic while noticing my own body’s fear response before anything had happened.This episode is the first in a three-part series connecting Dr. Charles Stanley’s “30 Life Principles” with my Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery. You’ll learn that disappointment is an inevitable amygdala-driven reaction, while discouragement is a choice shaped by the prefrontal cortex’s interpretation.Using Psalm 42 and David and Goliath, I teach you that most automatic thoughts are untrue predictions, so you must learn to interrogate them. Your mind, submitted to God, can regulate the brain through top-down control, and listening to God supplies truth to rehearse. Then I share a patient story and prescribe you a three-step weekly practice: name disappointment, verify thoughts, and load truth daily.InTouch Ministries with Dr. Charles Stanley: https://www.intouch.org/The most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain SurgeryCheck out the Self-Brain Surgery® Coaching App! https://studio.com/apps/selfbrainsurgery/brain The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

Dr. Lee Warren introduces Dr. Zach Clinton, Executive Vice President of the American Association of Christian Counselors, host of the Built Different podcast, licensed professional counselor, and Liberty University athletic counselor. This is a deep conversation at the intersection of neuroscience and faith.Clinton shares his background, struggles with identity and performance, and a pivotal 2019 spiritual breakthrough that shaped his calling into counseling. They discuss how identity is formed through narrative, the church’s evolving view of mental health as holistic discipleship, and why medication can be appropriate for brain-based conditions. Clinton offers counsel for listeners facing addiction (healing can’t be found in hiding), betrayal trauma (forgiveness vs. reconciliation and earned trust), acute grief (finding the light step by step), shame, and joy diminished by comparison, ending with a prayer for hope and healing.
