Philip Yancey has been a great friend and mentor for me for years.(Replay of Season 7, Episode 40)Getting to talk to Richard Foster last week made me think of my friend Philip Yancey, and how our last talk on the podcast was so inspiring. I thought I’d bring this great talk back to you today as a bookend to the Richard Foster episode. Philip’s books have helped millions of us search out the path to faith and hope again after life brings us pain. He’s one of the first people who gets a call when something terrible happens- Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Columbine- because he helps people honestly answer the questions such tragedies provoke, and to find hope again. Philip was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that causes a variety of issues with postural control, balance, steadiness and speed of movement, tremor, and other issues. And all those years of helping others look into their troubles and hold onto faith have prepared him for his own.This talk covers a lot of ground, from deconstruction to chronic illness, evil and suffering, church abuse, to finding strength in the community of the church. It’s inspiring, encouraging, and it will help you hold on, no matter what is happening in your life. Be sure to check out drleewarren.substack.com for more!My four all-time favorite Philip Yancey books:* Where the Light Fell: A Memoir is Philip’s intensely personal story of how he rebuilt his faith from the ashes of years of church abuse and the discovery of a family secret that devastated him. Incredible. I highly recommend the audiobook!* Where is God When it Hurts?* What’s So Amazing About Grace?* The Jesus I Never KnewYou can now pre-order my new book, Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things!Self-Brain Surgery with Dr. Lee Warren is a reader-supported publication.

For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.”Proverbs 21:23 “Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.”James 3:5 “In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.

You can’t wait for hope to happen. You can make it happen. Hope is a verb: there’s two consistent things about biblical examples of when people feel hopeless, and what they do next, that are important to flesh out: Any time we’re faced with a seemingly hopeless situation, there’s movement and there’s memory. There’s action. There’s a choice made.You have to fight for hope, friend, because life doesn’t always make it easy.
