Doubt isn't your enemy. You just have to change your mind about it. Self-brain surgery tip #8:Doubt is not a symptom of faithlessness. It says, “I don’t know,” & is a fork in the road. Fear says, “No.” Faith says, “Yes.” Doubt isn’t weakness; it’s an opportunity to trust in the Yes.Scripture:Romans 4:18Music by Zach Williams (Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 )My new book is called Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things.If you want to WEAR hope, you can order tee shirts and other gear from my website!

What to Do When Your Brain Won't Let You SleepOne night last year, there was a terrible storm, and I couldn't sleep. After hours of tossing and turning, I remembered a song from Matt Redman called Songs in the Night. One of the lines is, "So when I am in the storm, Lord the storm is not in me."Then I remembered Psalm 77, in which Asaph handles anxiety and insomnia by singing... songs in the night! Most of the time when I can't sleep, though, it's not because of a storm outside. Usually, it's in my own brain. Join me for quiet time this morning and we'll get our minds right for the coming day.We finish with prayer and a song from Highlands Worship, Jesus You Alone.(Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 )My new book is called Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things.If you want to WEAR hope, you can order tee shirts and other gear from my website!
