Storms are going to come in life. How we prepare for them makes all the difference. When my last book came out, I did a podcast interview in which I was asked a strange question: When did Noah build the arc? The answer: Before it started raining. Look, storms happen in life. Hard times come, but when things get hard, strong people get busy. And when great opportunities come, we need to be ready.  Let’s pick up the hammer and start building that arc. Because the rain is coming. Because something great is coming, and we need to be ready. Something hard is coming, and we need to get our feet on more solid ground, even if we have to build a boat to get there.

It’s Mind Change Monday! (Back tomorrow with a brand-new Tuesdays with Tata!) Today I want to remind you that it’s okay to say no. Here’s Self-Brain Surgery Tip #10: No is not a cuss word. You need margin and space to be efficient and do the things you commit to well. It’s better to say no kindly than to say yes and then let more important things suffer.

Synapses are where the business of the nervous system happens. Lately, we’ve been talking about the basics of self-brain surgery to learn how to think about our thinking, and the ideas behind my new book, Hope is the First Dose. But this isn’t just some “self-help” or motivational speaker-type thing. Because the vast majority of your life, the decisions you make, the relationships you have, the things you accomplish or strive for come out of how you think: your attitudes, your thought patterns. Everything about how you handle stress, unexpected challenges, and the hard parts of life is determined by your thinking. But the problem is, most of us spend our lives reacting to our thinking, because we never think about our thinking. And the reality is, our baseline thoughts are not very reliable most of the time. Why? That answer is rooted in the science of how our nervous systems are wired. The bad news is that your nervous system has a set of responses to challenges, threats, and stresses, and that set of respon

Do you find yourself wondering where God is? Wondering why God seems to be taking forever to answer your prayers? Wondering why everything seems so hard all the time? Are you so tired of being so tired? If so, a good decision you can make is to learn to grow while you’re waiting! Here’s a short lesson about the latin phrase mutatis mutandis, which means “after the necessary changes have been made.” Scriptures: Psalm 13 Habakkuk 1 Isaiah 42:8-9 Joshua 3 Micah 7:7 Music by Tommy Walker (Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 ) This is a public episode.

Self-Brain Surgery Tip #7:(It's Tata's birthday! Email him if you'd like to say hello! lee@drleewarren.com ) When you make a mistake, admit it to yourself and correct it going forward. Excuses build the false idea in your brain that it’s not really your fault, and you’ll be more likely to do it again. Own it, recalibrate, move forward and you’ll be happier! It's No-Slip November friend! In the Bible, we read of how the Israelites turned an 11-day trip into a 40-year-long journey through the desert. And many of us are tired of covering the same ground over and over in our lives instead of finally breaking through to where God wants us to go.  So it's time to use that self-brain surgery tip, stop making excuses, and get after it! Are you with us?

When You Can't Hear Truth in Your Own Brain, You Need Better Words(REPLAY of Season 5, Episode 89 for Wild Card Wednesday) “Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.” (Deuteronomy 32:46–47) In this episode, we’re going to look at how God’s words- all of them- have the ability to give meaning and purpose to our lives. How we have need of them for all the things we’ll face in our lives. How we can rely on them when the massive thing happens. And how sometimes God says, “You can’t have that.” So what do we do when it feels empty and void? We need some words in there, and God always has them. But we have to start today.  Scripture: Isaiah 55:11 Music by Tommy Walker Sign up for my Substack letter here.(Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is
