In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with their friend Dr. Lee Warren—a neurosurgeon, Iraqi veteran, and author who understands the brain at its deepest levels. Together, they explore the fascinating intersection of faith and science, specifically how God has uniquely designed our brains to be part of our own healing and repair.

Whether you’re navigating personal anxiety or looking for ways to support your spouse through a difficult season, this conversation offers practical hope. Dr. Warren shares how we can move from being victims of our thoughts to taking agency over our mental health through what he calls "self-brain surgery"—the intentional process of re-wiring our brains to align with the sound mind God has promised us.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Mind vs. Brain: Understanding the eternal difference between your physical brain and your soul-led mind.
The Art of Self-Brain Surgery: How changing your thoughts for just a few minutes can literally create new hardware and synaptic connections in your brain.
Agency Over Your Story: Why you aren't stuck with your genetics, past traumas, or personality scores, but have the power to build a new brain.
Scripture for Mental Health: How to apply truths like 2 Timothy 1:7 and 2 Corinthians 4 to find peace and flourishing in the middle of a crisis.
