Episode 326: Don’t Believe Everything You Think: How Neuroscience and Faith Rewire Your Brain with Dr. Lee Warren
Tue Feb 03 2026
What if you could literally rewire your brain with the power of your mind?
This week, host Erin Kerry is joined by neurosurgeon, award-winning author, and Iraq War veteran Dr. Lee Warren, whose new book The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery reveals how neuroscience and faith work together to transform our emotional health. Drawing from functional brain imaging research, decades of surgical expertise, and his own story of PTSD and devastating loss, Dr. Warren shares why 80% of your thoughts and feelings aren’t based in truth — and how changing your mind can truly change your life.
They discuss the tools he uses to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and the emotional spirals that keep us stuck. Dr. Warren explains why not all adversity is trauma, how the brain’s design reflects God’s intentionality, and why curiosity is more powerful than reactivity. Through the concept of “self-brain surgery,” he teaches how to access the resilience your brain was built for.
If you’ve ever wondered how faith, neuroscience, and daily habits can shift your emotional landscape, this conversation will empower you with practical steps toward hope, stability, and renewed mental strength. This episode is for anyone who wants to break old patterns, understand the brain through a Biblical lens, and develop the emotional tools to live a healthier, more connected life.
