## Resource

Can modern neuroscience point us toward the reality of the soul? In this compelling conversation, neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren joins pastor and author John Burke to explore the intersection of near-death experiences, brain science, and faith. From his time as a brain surgeon in the Iraqi war -- where he faced trauma and later endured the devastating loss of his 19-year-old son -- Dr. Warren has sought both scientific and spiritual answers to life’s biggest questions. Together, he and John dive into: • How neuroplasticity and epigenetics reveal the power of our thoughts to shape our brains--and even future generations • Why free will vs. determinism matters for our understanding of the human spirit • How trauma and PTSD can be healed through intentional thought and God’s promises • Why near-death experiences align with the truth of Scripture about heaven and eternity Don’t miss this fascinating episode that blends hard science with profound hope, showing how we can truly be “transformed by the renewing of our minds.” For more from Dr. Lee Warren: Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCzIZ9JVpX6mZJf8xCvPlkfA Self-Brain Surgery Playlist on Spotify: http://bit.ly/46bode3 His books: 2021 ECPA Memoir/Biography of the Year, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I've Seen the End of You⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://amzn.to/42fqKn0 Hope Is the First Dose⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://amzn.to/3mAqGLG.
