Take Charge of Your Own Brain
1 september 2023 · 28 min
It’s Time to Take Charge Lees meer
It’s September 1, and it’s time to take command of the incredible ability we all have to change our own minds. Today, we talk about self-directed neuroplasticity, what we can learn from Augustine of Hippo, and how to be a good self-brain surgeon.
Things to remember in September:
What got me here won’t get me there
I’d rather be the first domino than the last one
What I am actually doing is what I am getting better at
I will either take charge of shaping my brain, or it will be shaped for me be circumstances, emotions, or other people
Scripture: Psalm 37

Radical Mind Shift
31 augustus 2023 · 29 min
It’s Time to Radically Examine Our Worldview Lees meer
Do you know where your worldview came from, and who influenced it the most? Was it “caught,” or “taught?” Is it Biblically based, influenced by Augustine or Freud or culture?
It’s time to radically examine how we think, how we live, and to decide whether it’s working for us or not. And if we want to change our lives, we have to change our minds first. That’s what we’re doing in September.
Scripture: Psalm 37:4

Everyday Hope: Hayden Vroegop
26 augustus 2023 · 39 min
An Inspiring Story of Overcoming Moral Injury Lees meer
The Covid pandemic of 2020 caused all of us problems, and cost many people their lives. We are still counting the costs as a society, and there are innumerable questions about the different ways the disease AND our individual and governmental responses to it that may never be fully answered.
But one thing is certain: healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, medics, chaplains, and many others) paid a high price, often with their personal safety and emotional health on the line as well.
Today on Everyday Hope I’m joined by an incredible young man whose career as a critical care nurse in Indiana was just getting started in 2020, when he found himself thrust into the heart of a global pandemic. The ways in which it affected his emotional and spiritual health, and how he found his way back to hope and faith again are inspiring, and will help you when you face your Massive Thing.
Meet Hayden Vroegop, a flight and critical care nurse, who has lived a great example of implementing the treatment plan of self-brain surgery when life gets hard.

Mind Change Monday: Designed to Heal
24 juli 2023 · 1 uur 9 min
Our Bodies Are Designed to Heal Lees meer
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
20 juli 2023 · 36 min
You can’t wait for hope to happen. Lees meer
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.

Sunday Dose of Hope: Don't Strive for Emotional Equipoise
16 juli 2023 · 28 min
When 10% Won’t Cut It, You Need Infinite Lees meer
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 a fact, friend: life’s going to bring you trauma and tragedy and other massive things, but it’s also going to offer you hope, healing, and happiness. You can have both. And I’m going to teach you how.
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),

Hope Talks: Dr. Jon Swanson
11 juli 2023 · 43 min
Sometimes, All You Need to Say Is, “This is Hard.” Lees meer
Today, a wonderful Hope Talk with my friend Dr. Jon Swanson. We talk about how we can be helpful when we’re coming alongside someone who is going through their own trauma, tragedy, or other massive thing.
Check out Jon’s helpful writing at his Substack, This Is Hard.
Jon Swanson helps people and organizations find sense at urgent and important times. Whether sitting at deathbeds with families or sitting over coffee with people needing counsel, Jon's experience allows him to find the words and silence that help meaning come to the surface.
Once upon a time, Jon thought he would use his PhD in Rhetorical Theory and Criticism to teach college students how to analyze speeches. Instead, he has been helping people read the Bible for more than thirty years. In small groups and conversations, he tries to listen to the text, listen to people and connect the two in ways that are practical and often unexpected.
Jon has been a communication prof, college administrator, and an associate pastor. Currently, he's a hospital chaplain and a consultant.
He and Nancy have been married since 1983 and have two married children and a daughter in heaven. Jon and Nancy walk at least two miles a day, conversing the whole time.
Jon has been blogging since 2005. In 2008, he started 300wordsaday.com, where he writes in simple language about following Jesus, 300 words at a time.

It’s Independence Day in the USA! Lees meer
Hi friend, and happy 4th of July!
I hope you have a great day, filled with family, fun, and some rest. We will be repairing the sprinkler system as two very naughty German Shorthaired Pointers decided to dig up and chew through the entire soaker hose array in our flower bed.
I also have a pile of last-minute assignments my publicist dropped on me yesterday, in preparation for my book launch in 14 days! Hope is the First Dose is coming to you quickly, and we believe it will be extremely helpful in learning to hold onto hope no matter what you’re facing.
In case you have a few minutes of time to listen to a podcast today, here’s a replay for Infinitely Happier 14: The Science of Freedom, to give you some thoughts on the value of declaring your independence from things that are hurting your life.
And for today’s daily dose of hope, here’s a letter I wrote a while back that might help you find hope in freedom!
I hope you have a great day, and that you're off with your family doing something fun. I'm going to give you a short thought today; perhaps it will help today be more than just a holiday. July 4 is Independence Day in the United States. We celebrate our independence from Britain, earned with the heroism and blood of the earliest Americans.
The men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and framed our constitution pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to establish this nation on the basis of freedom.And now, over two hundred years later, I want to encourage you, no matter where you live, to embrace freedom. The Founders of the USA knew that freedom wouldn't come easily. They knew they would have to fight for it, go to war for it, that some of them would give their lives for it.But being free was essential to them; they knew they couldn't continue to live under the oppression of the British king any longer. They had to make a change. And today, perhaps there is some area of your life in which you nee…

A roadmap for discovering the authentic drive that already exists within you and is just waiting for you to clarify, understand, and direct it―from the host of the top-rated podcast “Self-Helpful with Kevin Miller”

Reconstructed, with Philip Yancey
27 juni 2023 · 48 min
Philip Yancey has been a great friend and mentor for me for years. Lees meer
(Replay of Season 7, Episode 40)
Getting to talk to Richard Foster last week made me think of my friend Philip Yancey, and how our last talk on the podcast was so inspiring. I thought I’d bring this great talk back to you today as a bookend to the Richard Foster episode.
Philip’s books have helped millions of us search out the path to faith and hope again after life brings us pain. He’s one of the first people who gets a call when something terrible happens- Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Columbine- because he helps people honestly answer the questions such tragedies provoke, and to find hope again.
Philip was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that causes a variety of issues with postural control, balance, steadiness and speed of movement, tremor, and other issues. And all those years of helping others look into their troubles and hold onto faith have prepared him for his own.
This talk covers a lot of ground, from deconstruction to chronic illness, evil and suffering, church abuse, to finding strength in the community of the church.
It’s inspiring, encouraging, and it will help you hold on, no matter what is happening in your life.

My four all-time favorite Philip Yancey books:
* Where the Light Fell: A Memoir is Philip’s intensely personal story of how he rebuilt his faith from the ashes of years of church abuse and the discovery of a family secret that devastated him. Incredible. I highly recommend the audiobook!
* Where is God When it Hurts?
* What’s So Amazing About Grace?
* The Jesus I Never Knew
You can now pre-order my new book, Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things!

It’s a Miracle that You’re Able to Breathe, Read, and Listen to this Podcast! Lees meer
Join me for an incredible conversation with the authors of an amazing book, Your Designed Body, Steve Laufmann and Dr. Howard Glicksman. It’s perfect for Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!
Scripture: Psalm 139:1
(From the book website, www.discovery.org):
In Your Designed Body, systems engineer Steve Laufmann and physician Howard Glicksman explore this extraordinary system of systems encompassing thousands of ingenious and interdependent engineering solutions. They present a compelling case that no gradual evolutionary pathway could have achieved this, and that instead it must be the handiwork of a masterful designer-engineer.
Steve Laufmann is a speaker, author, computer scientist, and consultant in the design of enterprise-class systems, with expertise in the difficulties of changing complex systems to perform new tasks. He leads the Engineering Research Group at Discovery Institute and chaired the program committee for the 2021 Conference on Engineering in Living Systems.
Dr. Howard Glicksman is a general practitioner with more than forty years of medical experience in office and hospital settings, who now serves as a hospice physician seeing terminally ill patients in their homes. He received his MD from the University of Toronto and is the author of “The Designed Body” series for Evolution News and Science Today.
