Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Always so honored to get to spend this time with you.

In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk,

the deep in your understanding of God's word, and that heightens

your awareness of his very real presence in your life. So how do you navigate the events in

your life that just leave you breathless? How do you move through the memories that keep

surfacing and impacting your present moments? Is there a way to move on from major hardship,

lost, and heartbreak? Well, yes, there is. Today,

we're going to hear from someone who knows from personal experience what it means to move

from devastation to surviving till then thriving. Dr. Lee Warren joins me today to talk about

his newest book, Hope is the First Dose, a treatment plan for recovering from trauma, tragedy, and other

massive things. We got a handful of copies to give away today. You can text the word book,

if you want in on the drawing, 877-933-2484. I'll tell you, the first half the book reads like

a novel. I caught myself holding my breath as I was reading. And manly, you're an amazing writer.

So, wow, it's a good book. Before we hear from Dr. Warren, I want to give you a quick announcement. We've got a free app and you really want to download it. It's free. Did I tell you that yet? And that way, if you're traveling, you can take us with you. Go to the app store, search Faith Radio Network. You'll find it there. and That allows you to listen to the shows, live stream, and we're giving away resources every day on these live shows, but also to catch the podcast after the fact. So I hope you can download it today. Let me tell you about my guest. We'll get him on the show. Dr. Lee Warren's, a practicing neurosurgeon and the award-winning author of several books. He talks to thousands of his closest friends daily about faith, doubt, and neuroscience on the Dr. Lee Warren podcast. As soon as I heard about that, I thought I got to put that on my list. I can't wait to listen. His wife, Lisa, is way out of his league and his four grandkids have him completely wrapped around their fingers. Love that. He lives on the banks of North Platte River in Nebraska with Lisa, his sidekick and father-in-law Dennis, and two

overprivileged dogs, Harvey and Lewis. Dr. Warren, welcome back to the show.

Thank you so much, Susie. It's really good to be back with you. Looking forward to this conversation,

and we start every day talking of scripture and just making it personal.

I'm just wondering in your time with God these days, what's even impressing upon your heart?

You know, it's been this constant theme really for a couple of years now of the tension between waiting and hoping. Psalm 7114, as for me, I will
