Self-Brain Surgery in the Bible
A quick rundown of some powerful scriptures we can use to build a robust self-brain surgery practice.
The following biblical passages (among many others) highlight principles from neuroscience that can guide us toward profound personal transformation. They illustrate how integrating faith and science empowers us to practice self-brain surgery in our daily lives—aligning our thoughts, beliefs, and actions with God’s design for human flourishing.Romans 12:2 (NIV): "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Philippians 4:8 (NIV): "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV): "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."
Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."
2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV): "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
Matthew 6:22-23 (NIV): "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness."
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV): "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
Psalm 34:18 (NIV): "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Colossians 3:2 (NIV): "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
John 10:10 (NIV): "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
Ephesians 4:17 (NIV): "So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking."
Ephesians 4:23 (NIV): "...to be made new in the attitude of your minds."

It’s New Thing November!
It’s a new month, and God wants to do new things in your life. But sometimes, it feels like he’s fallen silent, like he’s not answering our prayers or coming through for us.
Why?
Today’s podcast looks into how we can’t expect God to do new things if we refuse to change old things that are holding us back.
Scripture: Isaiah 43:18-19, Hebrews 12:1-2
Book mentioned: God on Mute: Engaging the Silence of Unanswered Prayer by Pete Greig

Today on Spiritual Brain Surgery, Leanne Ellington Takes Over the Mic Again!
Leanne Ellington has 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.Today, Leanne takes over the podcast for part two of her two-part journey into faith, healing, and hope.

Join me for an incredible conversation with one of my favorite authors, Mark Vroegop!
Mark is the author of one of my all-time favorite books, 2020 ECPA Christian Book of the Year, Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy.
He's back with a powerful new book, Waiting Isn't a Waste: The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life.From the publisher:
Exploring 6 Characteristics of Waiting to Prompt Wisdom from God and Gain Invaluable Peace
Throughout our lives, we experience countless periods of waiting. Some moments are mere nuisances—others are daunting seasons filled with intense worry and doubt. We grow impatient by immovable traffic or crave an impending answer to a medical condition. Whatever our current circumstances, our innate response is to take action rather than stay still.In Waiting Isn't a Waste, author Mark Vroegop calls believers to resist the human urge for control and lean on Christ for comfort while we wait for the uncertainties of life to unfold. Vroegop explores what it means to wait on God through 6 important characteristics—waiting is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relational. This book not only teaches listeners how to wait on God but inspires them to embrace waiting—for it prompts wisdom from God and brings invaluable peace to the present.
Written for Christians in Seasons of Waiting: Those struggling with anxiety, discouragement, or weariness as they waitExplores 6 Characteristics of Waiting: Waiting is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relationalWritten by Mark Vroegop: Author of Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy, which was named the ECPA 2020 Christian Book of the YearMark Vroegop (MDiv, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary) is the lead pastor of College Park Church in Indianapolis and the author of the ECPA 2020 Christian Book of the Year Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament. He’s married to Sarah, and they have four children and three daughters-in-law.

Life Is Hard. Here's a Practice to Keep from Making it Unnecessarily Harder
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 (More 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.
