Surgical Training is Hard, But It's Crucial to Safe Practice
Today, a look back at something called a "Surgical Approach," and why knowing multiple approaches is so important.
This has everything to do with learning and practicing self-brain surgery too! Surgeons who only know one approach get stuck, and sometimes cannot complete an operation safely. Choosing the right approach makes all the difference, and this episode will help you learn the approaches to your own life and self-brain surgery practice that will help you keep moving forward!

Flashback to the Beginning of Season 10!
Today, we respond to a listener who asked the important question of what to do and say when someone has just experienced trauma, tragedy, or some other massive thing (TMT).
Scripture: Romans 12:15
Books Mentioned: This is Hard by Jon Swanson, Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering by Timothy Keller, Hope Is the First Dose by me
My Advice When Speaking to Others after TMT:1. Show up and shut up (I stole this from Jon Swanson)2. Tears over talking3. Empathy over equivalence4. Theology is like salt: it needs to be correctly applied in tiny amounts, and of high quality, or it can hurt more than it helps.Leave a voicemail with your question or comment!

Scripture:
Psalm 19:14
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heartbe acceptable in your sight,O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
 
Proverbs 17:27 TPTCan you bridle your tongue when your heart is under pressure? That’s how you show that you are wise. An understanding heart keeps you cool, calm, and collected, no matter what you’re facing.
