Self-Brain Surgery Tip #7:
(It's Tata's birthday! Email him if you'd like to say hello! lee@drleewarren.com )
When you make a mistake, admit it to yourself and correct it going forward. Excuses build the false idea in your brain that it’s not really your fault, and you’ll be more likely to do it again. Own it, recalibrate, move forward and you’ll be happier!
It's No-Slip November friend! In the Bible, we read of how the Israelites turned an 11-day trip into a 40-year-long journey through the desert. And many of us are tired of covering the same ground over and over in our lives instead of finally breaking through to where God wants us to go.
So it's time to use that self-brain surgery tip, stop making excuses, and get after it! Are you with us?

When You Can't Hear Truth in Your Own Brain, You Need Better Words
(REPLAY of Season 5, Episode 89 for Wild Card Wednesday)
“Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.” (Deuteronomy 32:46–47)
In this episode, we’re going to look at how God’s words- all of them- have the ability to give meaning and purpose to our lives. How we have need of them for all the things we’ll face in our lives. How we can rely on them when the massive thing happens.
And how sometimes God says, “You can’t have that.” So what do we do when it feels empty and void? We need some words in there, and God always has them. But we have to start today.
Scripture: Isaiah 55:11
