In this special bonus episode, I explore five fundamental truths essential for personal transformation as we approach the end of April 2026.
Drawing from my morning reflections, I emphasize that real change starts with disrupting your current patterns, leveraging neuroplasticity to reshape your brain through new actions. I discuss the significance of internal control in your growth journey, illustrating that true happiness and purpose stem from within rather than external circumstances. Throughout the episode, I stress that past experiences do not define your future and that empowerment lies within, supported by scripture to reinforce these insights.
The journey to transformation begins with a shift in mindset, one that you can initiate today.

Are you tired of being so tired? Wondering why you keep trying to feel better but wind up feeling the same, or worse? Why the things you’re doing, the things the world says will help, don’t actually help?
This episode looks at our recurring problem of treating big wounds with bandaids.
We also talk about my #6 book I read in 2022, Eugene Peterson’s Run With the Horses.
Scriptures:
So, Jeremiah, if you’re worn out in this footrace with men,
what makes you think you can race against horses?
Jeremiah 12:5, The Message
If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!
Proverbs 24:10, NIV
They offer superficial treatments
for my people’s mortal wound.
They give assurances of peace
when there is no peace.
Jeremiah 8:11, NIV

[We are on a short break while Dr. Warren prepares new episodes for Action April 2026! While we're waiting, we're bringing back four of the most popular episodes from last year]
In this episode, we discuss the crucial distinction between the mind and the brain, essential for the process of self-brain surgery.
I introduce the fourth commandment of self-brain surgery, which emphasizes that our mind controls our brain, and we explore how our thoughts shape our cognitive architecture. We contrast "brain-out" and "mind-down" worldviews, showing the power of intentionality and personal responsibility.
You'll get practical steps for engaging in self-brain surgery, and exercises for reflection to challenge limiting beliefs. This conversation sets the stage for further exploration of personal transformation in future episodes.

In this episode, we explore how our thought patterns impact personal growth and healing. By examining the mindset of self-brain surgeons, we learn that overcoming feelings of being stuck starts with redefining our internal narratives.
I share key strategies to audit thoughts, viewing them as events rather than commands, and highlight the importance of intentional mental focus in shaping our realities. This will help you critically evaluate your internal dialogues and apply core values for healthier mental practices.
