Self-Brain Surgery in the Bible  A quick rundown of some powerful scriptures we can use to build a robust self-brain surgery practice.   The following biblical passages (among many others) highlight principles from neuroscience that can guide us toward profound personal transformation. They illustrate how integrating faith and science empowers us to practice self-brain surgery in our daily lives—aligning our thoughts, beliefs, and actions with God’s design for human flourishing. Romans 12:2 (NIV): "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."  Philippians 4:8 (NIV): "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."  Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV): "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."  Isaiah 26:3 (NIV) "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."  2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV): "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."  Matthew 6:22-23 (NIV): "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness."  Proverbs 4:23 (NIV): "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."  Psalm 34:18 (NIV): "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."  Colossians 3:2 (NIV): "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."  John 10:10 (NIV): "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."  Ephesians 4:17 (NIV): "So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking."  Ephesians 4:23 (NIV): "...to be made new in the attitude of your minds."   Our featured partner for this episode is Adapt Naturals: As we enter the winter season, staying healthy is more important than ever.
