Where Faith Meets Neuroscience:
Every Collaboration with Dr. Lee Warren

Dr. Lee Warren is a brain surgeon, bestselling author, and host of the Dr. Lee Warren Podcast. Over the past few years, we've partnered to bring you powerful conversations at the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and transformation—especially around food, body image, self-image, and emotional healing.

This isn't about managing symptoms or white-knuckling your way through life. It's about rewiring your brain at the subconscious level so your beliefs align with what God says about you.

Below, you'll find every episode we've recorded together. Whether you're struggling with food obsession, body shame, toxic thought patterns, or just want to understand how your brain works and how God designed you to heal—there's something here for you.

Start anywhere. Let us know what resonates.

Neuroplasticity and God's Plan for Your Healing

What a neurosurgeon discovered when he asked me how faith, brain science, and free will can finally end your decades-long struggle with food and body image

You've prayed about your food and body struggles for years...

You've asked God to take it away. You've tried every diet, every program, every promise. You've white-knuckled your way through restriction after restriction, only to find yourself back in front of the pantry at 9 PM, wondering why nothing ever sticks.

And maybe, just maybe, you've started to believe the lie that you're broken. That God is mad at you. That this is just who you are.

But what if the problem isn't you?

What if the problem is that you've been asking God for a miracle while He's already given you one: a brain designed to change, heal, and rewire itself through neuroplasticity?

What if God isn't waiting for you to be perfect?
What if He's waiting for you to partner with Him in the process?

In this powerful interview, Dr. Lee Warren, a neurosurgeon and bestselling author, sits down with me to unpack the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and freedom.

We talk about: 

Why willpower and discipline will never work (and what actually does)

The drowning woman paradox: How you might be praying for rescue while pushing away God's help

Free will and the prefrontal cortex: Why God won't override your choices (and why that's actually good news)

The failure identity: How decades of dieting have trained your brain to expect failure (and how to rewire it)

Romans 12:2 in action: What it really means to be "transformed by the renewing of your mind" (it's not just poetry, it's neuroscience)

The three-part process to take conscious control of your brain so you can stop reacting and start responding

Why your body is not your enemy (it's your partner, and it's been trying to protect you all along)

This isn't about another diet. This isn't about trying harder.

This is about understanding how God designed your brain to change, and learning how to partner with Him in the process so you can finally break free from the food and body prison you've been living in for decades.

"I have spent thousands of dollars and lost (and gained) hundreds of pounds. Every other program I’ve ever done has always been about the food – and about measuring, and about restrictions. No other program ever addressed what was happening within ME, and the constant conflict between my mind and my body."

Carrie Nyssen

"My life is unrecognizable from when I started. By this I mean that my EXTERNAL life hasn’t changed; I live in the same house with my husband and kids etc.... BUT my internal world is completely different. I feel deeply connected to myself and who I am…"

Tanith Lee

"This whole thing was an INTERNAL job, and now food is finally just food. It’s no longer my source of comfort or shame. But it was so much more than the food….I was in an internal war with myself, and it was a hateful, mean-spirited, vicious war. And now that's just not who I am anymore."

Suzanne Graney
