"Trauma lies to you, and pain lies to you, and it makes you think:  This is always how I'm going to feel, and this is always how it's going to be.  And the truth is, if you're still alive, God has a plan for your life, and your life has purpose and meaning."   Encouraging words from Dr. W. Lee Warren, neurosurgeon and author of the new book "Hope Is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things". 

When Dr. Warren's 19-year-old son Mitchell died of multiple stab wounds to his neck in August of 2013, he found himself "infinitely sad, hopeless, tormented, lost, and faithless for a while".  In our conversation today, Dr. Warren takes us down that dark mental staircase to the furnace of suffering, then leads us back up out of the pit.  He shares the path he took to find once again the abundant life promised by Jesus in John 10:10.  It involves a treatment plan that requires what he refers to as "self brain surgery" ... and the first dose is hope!
