Ben Carson

Can you really “rewire” your brain? And what does modern neuroscience say about what the Bible has taught for thousands of years? In this compelling conversation, Dr. Ben Carson sits down with fellow neurosurgeon and author Dr. Lee Warren to explore the powerful connection between faith, trauma, healing, and the human mind. Together, they discuss how biblical principles like “renewing your mind” (Romans 12) and “taking every thought captive” (2 Corinthians 10) align with groundbreaking discoveries in neuroscience. Dr. Warren explains the concept of “self-brain surgery” — the intentional practice of changing destructive thought patterns to build resilience, find healing, and experience lasting peace. From overcoming trauma and anxiety to strengthening mental and spiritual health, this conversation offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking hope, healing, and a deeper understanding of how God designed the human brain to flourish.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

Quote from Dr. Ben Carson's book, "The Perilous Fight": "The perilous fight" was penned by Francis Scott Key in the midst of a most difficult and pivotal moment in our nation's history when twenty British ships bombarded Fort McHenry from the Baltimore Harbor. It was on the morning of September 14, 1814 that Francis Scott Key wrote about the ramparts, and the land of the free and the home of the brave which inspired a nation and became a rallying victory call. “ The perilous fight—those words arrest my attention whenever I place my right hand over my heart and face the flag at the playing of our national anthem.

Freedom was not given freely but had to be fought for and defended. ” ~ Dr. Ben Carson Biography | Dr. Ben Carson In 1973, Ben Carson graduated from Yale University.
