In this fascinating and deeply encouraging conversation, I sit down with
—neurosurgeon, author, and hope lover—to talk about the intersection of brain science, suffering, and the relentless pursuit of peace.Dr. Warren brings profound wisdom from his own journey through grief, his medical background, and his strong faith. We explore how hope isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s a spiritual and neurological process we can actively participate in. From how the brain stores trauma to how gratitude rewires our responses, this episode is packed with practical tools and healing insights.
We talk about:
✨ The difference between faith and hope—and why both matter
✨ Why feelings aren’t facts (and what to do with them)
✨ How gratitude calms the brain’s fear centre
✨ What “self-brain surgery” really means
✨ Why suffering and hope can co-exist without contradiction
What if hope isn’t a feeling you wait for—but a habit you can build?
Whether you're navigating loss, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to renew your mind, this episode will remind you: you are not broken—you’re human. And with God’s help, healing is possible.
