In this thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with everyone’s favourite neurosurgeon, Dr. Lee Warren (also an author, and all-round deep thinker) to explore the transformative practice he teaches called self-brain surgery.

Dr. Lee unpacks the science of neuroplasticity in a way that’s both accessible and faith-filled, helping us understand that our brains are far more adaptable than we realise. We talk about how intentional thinking, gratitude, and taking our thoughts captive can reshape our internal world and ultimately change how we show up in our external one.

What I loved most about this conversation is how seamlessly he weaves together neuroscience and the hope of the gospel. It’s practical, deeply encouraging, and a reminder that we are not trapped by old patterns. There’s real healing available — and it begins in the mind.

We talk about:

✨ What self-brain surgery actually is — and why it matters✨ Why you are not defined by your past thought patterns✨ The power of neuroplasticity to reshape your brain✨ How gratitude can chemically shift anxiety✨ Using “thought biopsies” to challenge unhealthy thinking✨ Why chronic stress affects not just you, but everyone around you✨ How faith and neuroscience work together in renewal✨ Finding purpose and hope, even in seasons of deep suffering
