Mind Change Monday: Designed to Heal Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Our Bodies Are Designed to Heal

I received the most amazing email yesterday from Dr. Bem Culiat, a brilliant scientist who was on the podcast last year with her co-author and friend, Dr. Jennie McLaurin. Dr. Culiat’s message gave me great hope, and reminded me of the wonderful conversation we’d had about how faith and science work together to show us God’s incredible healing design for our bodies and lives.

I decided that here on Mind Change Monday, it would be great to go back and hear that talk again.

Join me for a fascinating and hopeful throwback conversation from with Dr. Culiat and Dr. McLaurin to discuss their book, Designed to HealWhat the Body Shows Us about Healing Wounds, Repairing Relationships, and Restoring Community

(Note: The free copies have already been claimed. This conversation originally aired in 2021)

Flex for Hope Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

You can’t wait for hope to happen.

You can make it happen.

Hope is a verb: there’s two consistent things about biblical examples of when people feel hopeless, and what they do next, that are important to flesh out: Any time we’re faced with a seemingly hopeless situation, there’s movement and there’s memory. There’s action. There’s a choice made.

You have to fight for hope, friend, because life doesn’t always make it easy. We’re going to learn how hope is a verb, an action word, and we’re going to start today.

There are major bonuses, including a great playlist of hopeful songs, three chapters of the book, lock screens for your phone, and more!

You Are Not Stuck with the Brain You Have Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

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.

Sunday Dose of Hope: Don't Strive for Emotional Equipoise Jul 16, 2023

Show notes

When 10% Won’t Cut It, You Need Infinite

Good morning my friend!

Today’s dose of hope is three things you SHOULD NOT do after you experience trauma, tragedy, or other massive things (TMT’s).

* Do not think that the goal is to get back to “how I used to feel.” It’s not possible. You’re changed by TMT, but you CAN learn to be happy again. It will be different, but it can also be beautiful.

* Do not turn your pain into an idol that defines the rest of your life.

* Do not put on a fake smile and pretend you’re okay. You need to heal.

A good place to start the healing is to learn the treatment plan I teach you in my new book, Hope Is the First Dose.

Today’s podcast is a great look at these three “don’t do’s” after TMT. Here’s a computer-generated transcript for those of you who don’t like to listen.

Here’s a few fun things for you!

You can now order tee shirts and other gear from the podcast and my books! Check out the store here:

And we have a new YouVersion/Bible App 5-Day Bible Study available now!

Finally, my new book is coming out on Tuesday, July 18! Two more days!

You can pre-order Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things! Coming July 18 everywhere books are sold.

There are major bonuses you can get by pre-ordering, including a great playlist of hopeful songs, three chapters of the book, lock screens for your phone, and more!

It’s not about equipoise, it’s about hope. The good news is, you can start today!

Remember, friend: you can’t change your life until you change your mind. I’m here to remind you that there is a treatment plan. And hope is the first dose.

Lisa and I are praying for you.

Dum spiro spero (while I breathe, I hope),

Learning to Biopsy Our Thoughts is a Key to Healing.

But sometimes, we biopsy those negative thoughts, and they turn out to be true. What then? Today’s dose of hope is learning what to do when your trauma, tragedy, or other massive thing has filled your head and heart with harmful thoughts, especially when the harmful thought is based on something true.

Scripture: II Corinthians 10:5
