In this episode of 'Spiritual Brain Surgery,' Dr. Lee Warren and his co-host Tata discuss the importance of maintaining faith during hard times, and a surprising lesson on how God loves us and how he can't stand it when we suffer because of sin from Judges 10:16.

Set against the serene backdrop of a wintery Sunday afternoon by the North Platte River, the conversation delves into the Bible, highlighting lessons from the book of Judges and Ruth. They explore how the Israelites repeatedly turned to idols despite God's persistent guidance and how this reflects our modern struggles with faith and sin.

The discussion underscores the need for self-examination, reliance on God, and the power of redemption through Jesus.

The episode also includes shout-outs to listeners Lori and Rodney, sharing their challenges and seeking divine guidance amidst grief and loss. Dr. Warren wraps up by emphasizing the transformative power of changing one's mind to change one's life.
