Release the offense you’ve been carrying against God and learn the five-step “self brain surgery” process I use when grief turns from honest questioning into an automated accusation.I share the story of operating on an 8-year-old boy shortly after my son Mitch died, and how saving someone else’s child intensified my anger and confusion. I explain why God doesn’t need our forgiveness, because He has not sinned, and how rumination keeps the brain’s threat networks activated while downregulating regulation and perspective.Then I walk you through practical steps so trust can be re-anchored even when pain remains.Resources and LinksThe most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

I share a 3:00 AM moment in Auburn, Alabama when I felt God, and my wife Lisa, calling me to write about what I carried home from the Iraq War, including trauma that became PTSD, but fear and doubt kept me frozen until I finally wrote one sentence: “No Place to Hide.”I explain the transformative power of surrendered action to work through the tension between waiting on the Lord and taking action by surrendering the outcome to God while taking the next obedient step. I connect this to neuroscience, describing how surrender calms threat networks and action supports neuroplasticity, and I give you a “surrendered step protocol” you can use starting today.Resources and LinksThe most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

Learn the basic “self brain surgery” procedure, using your mind to change the structure of your brain through neuroplasticity, so you can tackle anything from performance and finances to grief, trauma responses, anxiety, and other struggles.You’ll be reminded that you may need help from a therapist, pastor, counselor, or trusted friend, and that self-help isn’t self-reliance. Follow the core steps that I teach you here, and you can apply self-brain surgery to literally any situation in your life. See how repeated focus builds new pathways and prunes old ones, and commit to showing up fully, with no numbing or avoidance, because you can’t change your life until you change your mind.Resources and LinksThe most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

Take a breath and stop letting anger drive. Today, I’m going to show you four practical self-brain surgery operations you can use immediately to move out of reactive brain management mode and into clarity, intention, and control.In this episode, I challenge the popular idea that you need to vent, smash things, or “let it out,” and I share research showing that high-arousal catharsis often increases anger and future aggression, while calming practices like breathing, mindfulness, and prayer reduce anger and cortisol.Then I walk you through a focused protocol that names the feeling and chooses a values-aligned response.Resources and LinksThe most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

In this episode, I encourage you for showing up to do the hard and holy work of self-brain surgery. I explain how we “get better at getting better” by practicing the thought biopsy. It works by creating a pause between automatic reactions and a more truthful, frontal-lobe response instead of fear-based reactivity. I emphasize that many automatic thoughts and feelings are disordered or false, and that self brain surgery, unlike value-neutral CBT, is a lifestyle and worldview grounded in neuroscience and scripture.I teach broader categories of distorted thinking so you can identify not only that a thought is false but what kind of false it is, improving your SOAP notes and treatment plans. I review key categories: all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, mental filtering, disqualifying the positive, catastrophizing, personalization, should statements, emotional reasoning, and labeling/mislabeling.This one will refine and help you grow in your practice of self-brain surgery!Resources and LinksThe most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery The School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!

In this powerful episode, I challenge you to re-examine what determines your quality of life and to notice where you’ve tightly coupled your peace, purpose, and happiness to external circumstances like money, health, marriage, or outcomes.From my research, my writing, what I’ve seen in patients facing the same diagnoses with very different responses, and my own grief after my son Mitch was killed, I’ve learned that quality of life depends less on circumstances and more on the choices we make in hardship. I lay out several key decisions we have to make, and connect these to scripture.Ultimately, quality of life is a choice, and we must practice self-brain surgery to redefine our lives around purpose, hope, and abundance that can’t be taken away.Resources and LinksThe most important book you'll read this year (besides the Bible) is my new one, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain SurgeryThe School of Self-Brain Surgery is live!
