What if taking your thoughts captive isn’t just biblical wisdom—but something that actually changes your brain?

In this episode, Patricia Holbrook is joined by Dr. Lee Warren, neurosurgeon, pastor, and author of The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, to explore the powerful intersection of faith, neuroscience, and emotional healing.

Dr. Warren explains how repeated thoughts shape the brain over time—and why anxiety, fear, grief, and discouragement can become mental ruts. Together, they unpack what Scripture means when it calls us to take every thought captive, and how intentionally replacing lies with truth can lead to real transformation.

If you’re familiar with Patricia’s book Twelve Inches, you’ll recognize this theme immediately: the gap between what we know about God and how we feel and live it out. This episode brings scientific clarity to that spiritual bridge, showing why knowing the truth doesn’t always translate into feeling free—and how that can change.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What it really means to “take every thought captive”

How repeated thoughts shape the brain over time

Why anxiety, fear, and grief can become mental ruts
