    279. How Setbacks Become God’s Training Ground with Kendra & Terri

    What if the setback you’re fighting is the very training ground God is using to make you stronger? We invite you into a raw, hope-filled conversation where two of our coaches share how broken wrists unraveled hurry, exposed pride, and opened the door to real freedom. From the first jolt of denial to the awkward daily work of opening jars one-handed, these stories reveal how adversity shifts when you stop asking “how do I control this?” and start asking “how do I trust here?” We explore the surprising link between spiritual surrender and functional health: stewarding your body like a temple, fueling your mitochondria with quality nutrition, and letting Scripture rewire your stress response. One coach walks us through ditching the scale and the diet mentality that kept her stuck, learning to trust the body God designed. Another offers a simple, life-giving refrain—God already knows—that turned self-pity into steady gratitude. It’s not about perfect conditions; it’s about faithful choices, repeated daily. You’ll also hear the unexpected origin story of our Coaching Academy—born from obedience, not a business plan—and why intergenerational mentorship changes everything. Partners formed in training became lifelines during crisis, trading shallow cheerleading for prayer, challenge, and practical wisdom. If you’re juggling family, business, and faith, and you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through, this episode is a warm hand on your shoulder and a clear path forward: ask for help, slow down, choose joy, and root yourself in the Word.

    276: Self-Brain Surgery: Neuroscience, Faith, And Healing From Trauma

    What if most of your automatic thoughts aren’t true—and your body pays the price when you believe them? We sit down with Dr. Lee Warren, W. Lee Warren, MD, is a neurosurgeon, an award-winning author, an Iraq War veteran, and the host of The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. He teaches the art of connecting neuroscience, faith, and daily practices for leading a healthier, better, and happier life.  www.DrLeeWarren.com  The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery - https://www.netgalley.com/widget/897209/redeem/8bef54f4147ff6d63f2dfe6b94784e67155f495b79ab8b6190a88f48c82ddb68 SELF-BRAIN SURGERY MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5bd26c48b2cf79b5897a6c45/t/68b701504975283eb3c60afb/1756823889694/Press+Kit+-+The+Life+Changing+Art+of+Self-Brain+Surgery.pdf Through a vivid fMRI moment and hard-won personal story, he shows how a single choice of thought can alter brain activity, shift physiology, and open a path out of anxiety, grief, and chronic stress. We unpack the difference between emotions and feelings, and why your heart racing can signal fear or excitement depending on the story you attach to it. Dr. Warren explains neuroplasticity in plain language—neurons that fire together wire together—and how rumination keeps cortisol high, sleep poor, and pain persistent. You’ll learn his “thought biopsy” method to test whether a thought is true before letting it run your day, plus how to move decisions from the amygdala’s fight-or-flight to the frontal lobes where wisdom lives. We also dig into patterns behind migraines and avoidance loops, and how reframing, gratitude, and scripture-backed replacements can transform relationships—starting with a powerful marriage turnaround story. If you’ve felt stuck, spiritually numb, or trapped by old patterns, this conversation offers a practical, hopeful plan: notice, pause, and rewire with truth. Dr. Warren shares three steps you can start today to separate mind from brain, reclaim agency, and build healthier defaults that feel like peace. His new book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, lands on February 3 with tools, stories, and science to help you renew your mind and restore your life.
