Summary

You’re not stuck with the mind you have. In this episode of No Small Endeavor, Lee C. Camp speaks with Dr. Lee Warren, neurosurgeon, Iraq War veteran, and author of The Life-Changing Art of Self Brain Surgery, about a hopeful but challenging idea: your mind and your brain are not the same thing. Drawing on neuroscience, faith, and his own experience with trauma and grief, Dr. Warren explores why change is still possible, even when old patterns feel permanent, and what it looks like to reclaim agency over how we respond. This episode is a preview of a longer conversation. The full discussion is available in the NSE+ community. 👉 Join NSE+ HERE Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:08.0	conversation, one that for many people I think opens up a genuinely new way to understand your inner life
0:14.5	and to understand how to relate to your brain. Today on this special bonus here on the NSC feed,
0:20.2	you'll hear a window, a portion of
0:22.1	that conversation. The full discussion continues in our NSE Plus community and goes much further
0:28.0	into practices and how you might relate to grief, trauma, faith, and the neuroscience behind

So self-brain surgery sounds a little daunting. It does. So give us kind of a paragraph long definition of what you mean by self-brain surgery.
1:48.8	Self-brain surgery is this process of commanding the processes that God has already put in place in your brain.
1:55.3	Most people are unaware that we have tremendous amount of control over what our brains do and what they become.
