Here’s the thing - life is tough and it can leave us feeling pretty broken at times. But you don’t have to LIVE broken. Author and speaker, Mattie Jackson, is sitting down with inspiring authors, musicians, and entrepreneurs to uncover how they’re chasing the good in life and why they’re intentionally choosing joy even when life has knocked them down. Through personal stories and humorous encounters, these conversations are like sitting down with life-long friends – friends whose own courage to live joyfully will equip and encourage you to do the same. No matter the hurt you’ve experienced or what unknowns may lie ahead, there IS joy waiting for you - right here, right now. And Mattie is here to help you find it. This is the In-Joy Life Podcast.

The spirit & science of hope with Dr. Lee Warren

Imagine you’ve spent your entire career studying the brain, treating it for trauma and disease, and subsequently, helping patients cope with the grief that follows. Dr. Lee Warren, an esteemed neurosurgeon and Iraq War veteran, had literally written the books on PTSD and the brain (No Place to Hide & I’ve Seen the End of You).  But when he tragically lost his nineteen-year-old son, his neurological understanding of trauma recovery was met with his own struggle through the mental, emotional, and spiritual journey of grief.

Dr. Warren’s latest book, Hope is the First Dose, walks us through his own unspeakable tragedy and how his profession and his faith came together to land at the one thing none of us can survive or live fully without – hope. Dr. Warren gives us tangible, powerful ways to understand what our bodies do after trauma as well as spiritual revelations of faith that bridge Scripture and science in ways that will, no pun in intended, blow your mind.
