It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!
We're all taught in school that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution explains how we got here. But the truth is, modern molecular biology continues to struggle to prove even the most basic elements of that idea. Survival of the fittest is an obvious truth, but survival does not explain arrival, and since Watson and Crick gave us the molecular structure of DNA in the 1950's, the picture has become more and more bleak for the Darwinists.My guest today is Dr. Michael Behe. He is a biochemist from Lehigh University, and his incredible book is Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution.
Naming Darwin's Black Box to the National Review's list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the 20th century, George Gilder wrote that it "overthrows Darwin at the end of the 20th century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning".
From Amazon.com:Discussing the book in the New Yorker in May 2005, H. Allen Orr said of Behe, "He is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known." From one end of the spectrum to the other, Darwin's Black Box has established itself as the key text in the Intelligent Design movement - the one argument that must be addressed in order to determine whether Darwinian evolution is sufficient to explain life as we know it, or not.
For this edition, Behe has written a major new Afterword tracing the state of the debate in the decade since it began. It is his first major new statement on the subject and will be welcomed by the thousands who wish to continue this intense debate.

The Opposite of Depression Is Not Just Feeling Better, It's Leaning to Live Better
Dr. David Carreon is a psychiatrist and expert on helping people with depression learn not just to feel better, but to actually learn to live fulfilling lives. And what he's learned will help all of us become healthier, feel better, and be happier in our lives.
Even if you're not depressed, many people are simply worn out and weary. Dr. Carreon's work will offer hope for weariness and those who long to live a life of flourishing as well.
This conversation covers a lot of ground- clinical psychiatry, the perils of depression and weariness, the role of medications, the devastation and risk factors for suicide, faith, the importance of community, and much more.
Dr. Carreon's Book: The Opposite of Depression: What My Work with Suicidal Patients Has Taught Me about Life, Hope, and How to Flourish by David Carreon, MD

Book Preview from Tyndale.com
There’s hope for greater satisfaction, purpose and joy in your life, even if circumstances have you down….
Stanford-trained psychiatrist David Carreon, MD, reveals what it takes to move from nagging disappointment, dissatisfaction, or depression to a life of thriving. One of the pioneers of the use of an intense form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in severely depressed patients, Dr. Carreon was astonished by how quickly and dramatically most of them recovered. But he also saw very clearly that just eliminating the symptoms of depression wasn't enough. To live a truly fulfilling life, his patients needed to leave old habits behind and embrace the patterns of flourishing. In The Opposite of Depression, he draws on insights from his clinical experience, the latest research, and his Christian faith to point readers to principles and practices that promote thriving in mind, body and soul. Each chapter offers practical steps readers can take to start moving in the direction of greater satisfaction, fulfillment and purpose.Leave a voicemail with your question or comment!

It's Mind Change Monday, and Leanne Ellington is going to help us jump into Action April!
Leeanne Ellingtonhas an incredible story of chasing healing through silence, and finding God in the process.In her own words, she describes her faith journey:
Picture this: a skeptical, bacon-loving, Hebrew-speaking Jew, embarking on a quest to explore faith after a transformative 100-pound weight loss and a series of "quarter-life crisis".It began with a whisper in my heart: "I think I might want God?!"
But not wanting to go back to the old days of temple and rabbi sermons, I found a non-denominational church in vibrant Nashville, TN that turned into a miraculous journey that filled a void in my spiritual landscape and met ME in my skepticism, doubt, and curiosity in all aspects of life.
All of a sudden this "God guy" that everyone ELSE was talking about that I had never met, and frankly never cared to meet…
...suddenly appeared to ME --and revealed, completed, and healed parts of my story I didn't even know needed attention.
Leanne has two incredible podcasts, What's God Got to Do With It?and Outweigh. She is an online coach and guide into applying neuroscience and faith to healing from body image and self-esteem issues, and we had an incredible talk.You're going to love this one!

Today, the first in a series of looking at each of the Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery in more detail. The first commandment, just like in medical school, is primum non nocere, First No Harm. Self-Brain Surgeons say it like this: "I will relentlessly refuse to participate in my own demise."Scripture: Mark 12:30-31, Romans 12:1-2, Psalm 19:14
The Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery (Updated 3/8/2024; corollaries coming soon)
1.I must relentlessly refuse to participate in my own demise.2. I must recognize that feelings are not facts, they are chemical events in my brain.
3. I must recognize that most of my thoughts are untrue.
4. I must love tomorrow more than I hate how I feel right now.
5. I must not treat bad feelings with bad operations.
6. I must stop making an operation out of everything.
7. I must not perpetuate generational thought or behavioral issues in my family or start any new ones.
8. I must love my brain and live in such a way as to improve it.
9. I must believe that what I’m doing I’m getting better at.
10. I must understand that thoughts become things.

Trauma Rounds: Stuck
Tina Tisdale is a Character in My New Book
She is a real person, with enough details changed to protect her family’s privacy. She had a problem that wouldn’t go away, and it forced her to make some decisions that were tragic.
From Tina’s story, we learn the critical importance of learning to accept the reality that God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we think he should. It’s about faith and doubt, and acceptance.
There’s a little bit of Tina in all of us, but we can learn from her how to change our minds to become healthier, feel better, and be happier.
Scripture: II Corinthians 12:7

From Amazon.com:TheNew York Timesbestselling author ofGet Out of Your Headprovides a revolutionary path to embracing a healthy relationship with your emotions, one that leads to life-giving connection with God and others as well as to a richer understanding of yourself.
“This book is worth thousands of dollars of counseling.”—Jonathan Pokluda, bestselling author and host of theBecoming Somethingpodcast
How often have you heard, “Don’t let your emotions get the best of you”? But what if instead of ignoring our feelings, we noticed them, named them, and let God use them to draw us closer to Himself and others?Many of us need to unlearn damaging messages about our emotions. We’ve been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy, when, in fact, God can use them to help us see where we need His healing.
In Untangle Your Emotions,Jennie Allen uses scientific research, biblical insight, and her own story to help you
● exchange stuffing, dismissing, or minimizing your emotions for a five-step process to know what you feel and what to do about it
● debunk the myth that feelings are sinful by learning how emotional maturity leads to deeper connection with God and others
● live emotionally healthy by applying biblical wisdom and therapeutic research that works whether you self-identify as “emotional” or not
● sit with feelings that are confusing and painful by discovering the depth of God’s love and compassion for you
Book: Untangle Your Emotions: Naming What You Feel and Knowing What to Do About It by Jennie Allen

It's Mind Change Monday!
You spend your entire life performing self-brain surgery, whether you do it intentionally or not. This is the biggest single realization of my life, and it should produce a desire in us to make sure we're competent and effective as self-brain surgeons. Because your mind is operating on your brain every moment of your life, either passively or actively.
What you're doing, you're getting better at. So do you want to be getting better at using your mind and brain the way God designed them, or letting other things (past traumas, tragedies, other people, circumstances, or simply thought negligence) direct the way your brain is formed?
Today, we're going to look at the four different ways we can operate our brains, and which one we should be trying to master.
Scripture: II Corinthians 10:5 (take captive), Romans 12:2 (transform), Ephesians 4:13-19 (Gentile mind), I Corinthians 2:16 (Mind of Christ), Philippians 4:6-8

It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!
Sometimes the wound is so fresh or so persistent that you don't have the energy or mental capability to even try to change your mind. You're overwhelmed and it's all just too fresh and heavy, and it doesn't feel possible to do anything but hurt.
If you're there, it's okay. Here's one little tool that will help you hold on until you heal enough to start seeing the light again, and the hope that is found in patience and waiting.
Here's what to do when you don't know what to do.

It's Mind Change Monday!
We're continuing to learn a new way to pray and learn to use our minds to change our brains, and help us seek the abundance and peace Jesus promised us in John 10:10!
Quantum physics gives us two principles of how constantly looking at a situation can keep it stuck in that state, and the same is true in our lives. Learning to shift our viewpoint, relax, and trust God's promises can help us change our minds and begin to move forward.
Today, we take another look the ABIDE practice, take it one level deeper, and learn a self-brain surgery operation that will help us become healthier, feel better, and be happier in any area of our lives. Neuroscience and faith smash together hard in this one!

It's Season 10!
Today, we respond to a listener who asked the important question of what to do and say when someone has just experienced trauma, tragedy, or some other massive thing (TMT).
Scripture:Romans 12:15
Books Mentioned:This is Hardby Jon Swanson, Walking with God Through Pain and Sufferingby Timothy Keller, Hope Is the First Dose by me
My Advice When Speaking to Others after TMT:
1. Show up and shut up (I stole this fromJon Swanson)
2. Tears over talking
3. Empathy over equivalence
4. Theology is like salt: it needs to be correctly applied in tiny amounts, and of high quality, or it can hurt more than it helps.

Today, a talk about whether we're stuck with our feelings, diagnoses, or past traumas, or not. Am I just a skin sack of neurons? Or I am I fearfully and wonderfully made? What if we actually have a tremendous amount of control over these things? The good news is, we do! How we think changes how we live, even if we've been through TBI, TMT, or any other type of problem. No diagnosis is more powerful than the incredible smashing together of your brain, mind, and spirit. Why? Because you have a Great Physician, my friend.

This will help you rest, sleep better, and even manage your days with more resilience. This is a self-brain surgery operation that will quickly help you become healthier, feel better, and be happier.

Trauma and Tragedy Tell Us Lies.
Those lies can make you believe that you’re always going to feel what you’re feeling, and that it can’t ever change. You’ll believe that how you respond to pain is “just how I am,” but I have good news for you, my friend: you are NOT STUCK with the brain you have.
Here’s a great talk about directed neuroplasticity, transforming our minds, and how to find hope.

It's Mind Change Monday!
Cancer often starts with one cell mutation. If the body fails to detect and eliminate the mutated cell, then it can grow from that single cell into a disease that can kill us. Thoughts work the same way. In this episode, we discuss the importance of taking our thoughts captive, interpersonal neurobiology and limbic resonance, and a method for you to perform self-brain surgery to prevent these thought cancers from wrecking your life.

It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!
You have an incredible gift: you can choose to think about what you think about. The question is, what will you do with that gift?
In this episode, we learn the self-brain surgery of calming our minds and learning to direct the show of what happens in our thought life. You get this right, and you'll become healthier, feel better, and be happier. If you don't, you'll bounce around from circumstance to circumstance, and they will lead you into a progressively more cynical and negative life. The good news is, it's so easy to learn how to change that program into one that blesses you and others, and leads you to hope.
