Summary
In this powerful opening episode, Dr. Lee Warren invites us into the world where faith and neuroscience meet — not in theory, but in real, everyday transformation. As a practicing neurosurgeon, Dr. Warren has operated on the most delicate organ in the human body…yet he reminds us that some of the most life-altering “surgery” doesn’t happen in the operating room at all.
He shares how every thought we think literally reshapes the brain, often without us realizing it. And that’s where Self-Brain Surgery begins: the moment we stop letting accidental patterns drive our lives, and start intentionally partnering with the God who designed our minds.
In this conversation, Dr. Warren breaks down why so many of us feel stuck in fear, worry, and overwhelm — and why hope is not just an emotion, but the first step of real transformation. This episode will help you see your mind differently, your faith differently, and yourself differently.
