Dr. Lee Warren
What if the secret to healing, hope, and higher performance isn't only about understanding our trauma or coping with our diagnoses, but is also about retraining our brains? Neurosurgeon and award-winning author Dr. Lee Warren integrates neuroscience and faith to help you find the life you were designed to live. This is where you get the training, tactics, and truth you need to change your mind and your life, and it's called self-brain surgery.

An Inspiring Story of Overcoming Moral InjuryThe Covid pandemic of 2020 caused all of us problems, and cost many people their lives. We are still counting the costs as a society, and there are innumerable questions about the different ways the disease AND our individual and governmental responses to it that may never be fully answered.But one thing is certain: healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, medics, chaplains, and many others) paid a high price, often with their personal safety and emotional health on the line as well.Today on Everyday Hope I’m joined by an incredible young man whose career as a critical care nurse in Indiana was just getting started in 2020, when he found himself thrust into the heart of a global pandemic. The ways in which it affected his emotional and spiritual health, and how he found his way back to hope and faith again are inspiring, and will help you when you face your Massive Thing.Meet Hayden Vroegop, a flight and critical care nurse, who has lived a great example of implementing the treatment plan of self-brain surgery when life gets hard.Click the link below to access the Hope Is the First Dose playlist of hopeful, healing songs!Hope PlaylistBe sure to check out my new book, Hope Is the First Dose!Here's a free 5-day Bible study on YouVersion/BibleApp based on my new book!
