Can Prayer Rewire the Brain? A Neurosurgeon Says Yes - Dr. Ben Carson
"Can prayer change your brain? Can trauma physically rewire the mind? And what happens when science begins confirming truths the Bible taught thousands of years ago?
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Ben Carson sits down with neurosurgeon and author Dr. Lee Warren to explore the intersection of neuroscience, faith, suffering, and healing.
After experiencing unimaginable personal tragedy, Dr. Warren began asking deeper questions about grief, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and the brain itself. What he discovered changed his life — and may change yours.
This episode explores:
How trauma reshapes the brain
Why toxic thought patterns become addictive
What neuroscience reveals about prayer and meditation
How faith builds resilience during suffering
Why “renewing your mind” is more than a metaphor
The hidden connection between hope and healing
If you or someone you love is struggling with anxiety, grief, addiction, depression, or hopelessness, this conversation offers both scientific insight and spiritual encouragement." from the video introduction
