What if you have more influence over your thoughts, emotions, and healing than you realize? In this episode, I sit down with neurosurgeon, author, and podcast host Dr. Lee Warren to discuss the powerful connection between neuroscience, faith, and emotional healing.

We talk about how our thoughts literally change the structure of our brains, why trauma does not have to define our future, and how God has given us both the responsibility and the ability to participate in our healing. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, people-pleasing, overthinking, or a painful season that feels impossible to move through, this conversation offers both practical hope and biblical encouragement.
