- Religion & Spirituality
When life gets hard, does what we think we believe hold us up, or does it crumble under the weight of doubt? I'm your host, Dr. Lee Warren- I'm a brain surgeon, author, and a person who's seen some stuff and wondered where God is in all this mess. This is The Spiritual Brain Surgery podcast, where we'll take a hard look at what we believe, why we believe it, and the neuroscience behind how our minds and our brains can smash together with faith to help us become healthier, feel better, and be happier so we can find the hope to withstand anything life throws at us. You've got questions, and we're going to do the hard work to find the answers, but you can't change your life until you change your mind, and it's gonna take some spiritual-brain surgery to get it done. So let's get after it.

4. I must love tomorrow more than I hate how I feel right now.
5. I must not treat bad feelings with bad operations.
6. I must stop making an operation out of everything.
7. I must not perpetuate generational thought or behavioral issues in my family or start any new ones.
8. I must love my brain and live in such a way as to improve it.
9. I must believe that what I’m doing I’m getting better at.
10. I must understand that thoughts become things.

The Central Exchange in Scripture (ABIDE Check-in)
What's the Central Exchange In Scripture?
Many people believe that God's aim is to control us. But scripture tells a different story. The central exchange is not control, but healing.
Jesus wants all of you, especially your mind, because he's interested in helping you heal and be whole.
Here's an ABIDE practice aimed at changing our minds and seeking the healing and wholeness we are promised if we learn to focus our minds on the healer and not the hurting.
Scripture: Psalm 19:14, Psalm 139:23-24, Psalm 34:4
