It’s New Thing November!
It’s a new month, and God wants to do new things in your life. But sometimes, it feels like he’s fallen silent, like he’s not answering our prayers or coming through for us.
Why?
Today’s podcast looks into how we can’t expect God to do new things if we refuse to change old things that are holding us back.
Scripture: Isaiah 43:18-19, Hebrews 12:1-2
Book mentioned: God on Mute: Engaging the Silence of Unanswered Prayer by Pete Greig

Today on Spiritual Brain Surgery, Leanne Ellington Takes Over the Mic Again!
Leanne Ellington has an incredible story of chasing healing through silence, and finding God in the process.
In her own words, she describes her faith journey:
Picture this: a skeptical, bacon-loving, Hebrew-speaking Jew, embarking on a quest to explore faith after a transformative 100-pound weight loss and a series of "quarter-life crisis".It began with a whisper in my heart: "I think I might want God?!"
But not wanting to go back to the old days of temple and rabbi sermons, I found a non-denominational church in vibrant Nashville, TN that turned into a miraculous journey that filled a void in my spiritual landscape and met ME in my skepticism, doubt, and curiosity in all aspects of life.
All of a sudden this "God guy" that everyone ELSE was talking about that I had never met, and frankly never cared to meet…
...suddenly appeared to ME --and revealed, completed, and healed parts of my story I didn't even know needed attention.
Leanne has two incredible podcasts, What's God Got to Do With It? and Outweigh. She is an online coach and guide into applying neuroscience and faith to healing from body image and self-esteem issues, and we had an incredible talk.Today, Leanne takes over the podcast for part two of her two-part journey into faith, healing, and hope.

Join me for an incredible conversation with one of my favorite authors, Mark Vroegop!
Mark is the author of one of my all-time favorite books, 2020 ECPA Christian Book of the Year, Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy.
He's back with a powerful new book, Waiting Isn't a Waste: The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life.From the publisher:
Exploring 6 Characteristics of Waiting to Prompt Wisdom from God and Gain Invaluable Peace
Throughout our lives, we experience countless periods of waiting. Some moments are mere nuisances—others are daunting seasons filled with intense worry and doubt. We grow impatient by immovable traffic or crave an impending answer to a medical condition. Whatever our current circumstances, our innate response is to take action rather than stay still.In Waiting Isn't a Waste, author Mark Vroegop calls believers to resist the human urge for control and lean on Christ for comfort while we wait for the uncertainties of life to unfold. Vroegop explores what it means to wait on God through 6 important characteristics—waiting is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relational. This book not only teaches listeners how to wait on God but inspires them to embrace waiting—for it prompts wisdom from God and brings invaluable peace to the present.
Written for Christians in Seasons of Waiting: Those struggling with anxiety, discouragement, or weariness as they waitExplores 6 Characteristics of Waiting: Waiting is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relationalWritten by Mark Vroegop: Author of Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy, which was named the ECPA 2020 Christian Book of the YearMark Vroegop (MDiv, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary) is the lead pastor of College Park Church in Indianapolis and the author of the ECPA 2020 Christian Book of the Year Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament. He’s married to Sarah, and they have four children and three daughters-in-law.

What's the Central Exchange In Scripture?
Many people believe that God's aim is to control us. But scripture tells a different story. The central exchange is not control, but healing.
Jesus wants all of you, especially your mind, because he's interested in helping you heal and be whole.
Here's an ABIDE practice aimed at changing our minds and seeking the healing and wholeness we are promised if we learn to focus our minds on the healer and not the hurting.
Scripture: Psalm 19:14, Psalm 139:23-24, Psalm 34:4

Some Wounds Never Go Away, and Some Traumas Cannot Be Erased. But You Can Heal Anyway!
Christopher Cook is a pastor, podcaster, sought-after public speaker, and leadership coach. He's also a great human, and a good friend. His new book is Healing What You Can't Erase: Transform Your Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health from the Inside Out.
Chris's story has some pain, loss, and brokenness. But it also has a powerful path you can follow to transformation and healing.
This book is on my short list for best books of 2024 already. It's one of the most helpful books I've ever read, and I'm so grateful for the time Chris spent in this conversation.Chris's podcast is also amazing. Here's a link to my appearance on his show last year!

From Amazon.comA path from trauma to transformation that doesn’t rely on willpower, but rather on the daily power of the Holy Spirit—from pastor and leadership coach Christopher Cook
“Razor-sharp focus . . . a clear-cut path to find healing.”—New York Times bestselling author and pastor Mark BattersonThe pain that happened to you is real . . . and it matters immensely.
The notion of healing what you can’t erase is not about ignoring the devastation of your past or putting a glossy, positive spin on current tragedy. That plastic version of faith isn’t actually faith; it’s unbelief.
Healing What You Can’t Erase offers a far better solution—a road map for moving forward through the losses and scars by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us . . . spirit, soul, and body.
Through story, instruction, action steps, and guided questions, you’ll discover
• why transformation beats willpower and self-help
• how to recognize and heal a broken spirit
• well-researched, biblically grounded strategies to revitalize your mental and emotional well-being
• how inside-out integrated transformation changes your spirit, soul, and bodyWhether you’re wrestling with the loss of a marriage, a fractured friendship, a betrayal at work, or a chronic illness, there is hope. No matter your pain or traumatic experience, the Holy Spirit can heal and restore you to the life God created you for.
