Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thank you for listening to Susie Larson Live. Faith Radio podcasts are only possible because of your support. So thanks black row is you glide.

Because walking just won't do dance.

You don't have to know how to ever since.

I've since me got you left.

Welcome to Sizzy 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, that deepen your understanding of God's Word, and that

heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.

Did you know that you have the power to change how you think, to interrupt your most

destructive, repetitive thoughts, and redirect them to a more

redemptive way of thinking? In fact, nobody can do that for you. And it's a fight that we must fight,

because, again, no one can do it for us. But as you start to take on those thoughts and challenge

them truly and decide, I'm going to think redemptively. I'm going to tell my

story through a redemptive lens. Everything changes because scripture says be transformed

by the renewing of your mind. My friend Dr. Lee Warren calls that self-brain surgery. He joins us

every month and he's the one who coined that phrase self-brain surgery. So what I want to talk about today? I haven't even told him yet, but as I told him before the show, he's so able to go wherever God leads us that I'm just excited to see how the Lord speaks to him. But I want to know and kind of look at this distinction. How do you know if you've become self-focused, which is unhealthy, or self-aware, which is actually

healthy? So what's the difference between being obsessed with your own stuff and being diligent

to deal with your stuff? Dr. Warren returns to the program today to talk about that, and will

also draw from his book, Hope is the first dose, a treatment plan for recovering from

trauma, tragedy, and other massive things. So let me tell you about my guests. We'll get him on

the show. Dr. Lee Warren is a practicing neurosurgeon and award-winning author of several books.
