Your brain does not generate what you think of as your mind.

Your mind actually has controlling influence over how your brain behaves and how it forms itself structurally.

From thought to thought, you literally are performing surgery to create a new brain inside your head.

And now neuroscience is showing that the best type of human brain is one that has been through some hard

stuff because it gets better at handling hardship and it finds a way towards hope. I'm literally

creating a more resilient and robust brain every time I go through something hard.

Hey, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theologian Rob. My guest today is Dr. W. Lee Warren,

MD, who 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. His latest book is called The Life-Changing Art of Self Brain Surgery,

Connecting Neuroscience and Faith to radically transform your life, which forms the basis of

our fascinating conversation. Oh my word. I couldn't take notes fast enough.

I learned so much in this conversation, and I think you will too. And I think if you integrate some of the things he's talking about into your life, it truly can be transforming.

It was a fascinating conversation.

We also explore questions surrounding gender identity among young people and why some people are willing to change their minds in our extra innings portion of this episode.

Dr. Lee Warren, good to have you back on Theology in the RAH. You're tuning in from Nebraska.

through most of the states right now. No, it's a little cold, but we're having a beautiful day here,

Preston. It's great to be back with you again. Yeah. Yeah, good to see you again, man. So there's

a lot of talk about mental health these days.
