Neurosurgeon On Why Science Keeps Agreeing With Scripture - Dr. Lee Warren

Dr. W. Lee Warren is a practicing neurosurgeon, Iraq War veteran and New York Times bestselling author whose latest book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, teaches how to put your mind in charge of your brain. Dr. Lee Warren believes your mind and your brain are not the same thing, and that the moment you understand which one is in charge, your mental health can get better instead of worse. In this conversation, we explore what a functional MRI reveals about a single thought, the day in the scanner that changed how he grieved his son, why self-help is not self-reliance, what neuroplasticity does whether or not you direct it, how faith measurably changes the brain, the trunk of war memories he left in his garage for five years, why two things can be true at the same time, and the danger of making an idol out of your pain. You are not stuck with the brain you have. #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement #mentalhealth #neuroscience #faith Connect with Tim Doyle:   / tim.doy1e   Listen On Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
