The second part of a three-part series connecting Dr. Charles Stanley’s “30 Life Principles” with my Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery. In this episode, I take you to Iraq, during my time there as a combat neurosurgeon to share the exhaustion I felt during mass casualties, how they made me question God about why suffering happens, and I argue that adversity is never wasted.You’ll learn that God doesn’t cause adversity, but that he will use it for the good of those who love Him. We unpack what Romans 8:28 really means and why it’s a game changer for your life. We connect more of Dr. Stanley’s principles to the first, seventh, and ninth commandments of self-brain surgery a trajectory rather than a destination.This is a powerful episode that will change your life if you’re willing to do the hard and holy work of reframing adversity as opportunity for personal growth.

In this powerful episode, I share how chronic stress can make us respond to answered prayers with fear instead of gratitude, illustrated by a patient whose clear MRI still triggered anxiety and a father who anticipated his son’s relapse even after 90 days sober.I explain the neuroscience behind hypervigilance; elevated cortisol, negativity bias, and hedonic adaptation, and how the brain treats vivid worry like real danger. Drawing on Ian McGilchrist’s work on attention in the brain’s hemispheres, I show how stress narrows us into “what’s next” mode, stealing awe.I connect this pattern to scripture (Luke 17, Psalm 103, Philippians 4:8, Habakkuk 3, Nehemiah 8, 1 Thessalonians 5) and teach a five-step “Turnback” practice: catch it, name it, imagine it, pause 60 seconds, and give thanks, to stop “snatching anxiety from the jaws of awesome.”Don’t biopsy the blessing anymore. This episode will teach you how.

Derwin shares how chronic pain and childhood trauma shaped him, why healing can be difficult, and how the gospel, Scripture, and renewing the mind connect with neuroscience and psychology.He unpacks his HEAL framework: be Honest with God, Expect healing to be hard, Accept what happened without affirming it, and Live from love, not for love.

In our finale to All-In August 2026, I share the true story behind Cortés “burning the boats,” quietly drilling holes to make retreat impossible, and why partial commitment usually produces no results, just guilt and exhaustion.I’ll show you how your brain, a prediction machine wired for the path of least resistance, can be reshaped through neuroplasticity as you choose the harder, better action day after day.Your assignment is simple: pick one area of your life, choose one tiny habit to improve by 1% daily (about 37% better in a year), and identify what version of yourself has to die for that change to last. Real transformation is gradual, then sudden, and it costs comfort, predictability, and sometimes relationships. The reward? It leads to a new life of reliability, purpose, and faithfulness in the “very little,” daily work that leads to massive transformation.Make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss our weekly live sessions, Friday Self-Brain Surgery® training videos, and more!

Listen in as I explain why chronic pain can persist even after the scans look like the problem is “fixed,” using my early-career patient Denise as an example: her L4-5 disc herniation was surgically decompressed perfectly, yet her pain returned unchanged.I share research showing many pain-free people have abnormal lumbar MRIs, meaning the “picture” isn’t always the whole story. I discuss the concept of central sensitization, in which an oversensitized nervous system acts like a smoke alarm that keeps ringing after the fire is out. This draws on Dr. Clifford Woolf’s work showing that chronic pain is real, measurable, and reversible.I connect neuroscience and scripture (Romans 12:2, Psalm 34:18, 2 Corinthians 12:9, 2 Corinthians 4:16–18) and offer steps: get proper medical evaluation, speak truth to your nervous system instead of fear, practice mind renewal daily, and expect change to take time.Make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss our weekly live sessions, Friday Self-Brain Surgery® training videos, and more!

"We don't need more information. We need transformation." That's what we're after in this powerful conversation with my friend Dr. Cook, renowned author and therapist who bridges spiritual formation and mental health.We explore why mental health is worsening despite unprecedented psychological awareness. Allison explains the soul as an “inner family” of parts (drawing on Internal Family Systems), how old wounds resurface under stress, and how curiosity, compassion, and containment help us tend those parts without shame.We talk about attachment theory, the limits of human relationships, and why secure connection ultimately involves our relationship with self and with God. Allison shares her personal story, the “soul mountain” metaphor, and practical steps to begin moving from disconnection to connection.Dr. Alison's new book The Secure Soul: Finding Inner Strength and Connection When Trust Doesn't Come Easy is available for preorder now, and releases everywhere books are sold on August 18, 2026.
