In 1985, Carl Sagan sat before the US Senate and described the weather of 2026. Not as a prediction. As physics.

Your brain is not your boss
Here's something true from modern brain science: You're not stuck the way you are. Your brain constantly changes in response to your thoughts, so you're either getting better at staying the same/getting worse, or you're getting better at getting better.
Self-brain surgeons get better at getting better. The ninth Commandment of self-brain surgery is this: I must believe that I'm getting better at what I'm doing.
II Timothy 1:7 says God did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. II Peter 1:3 sad that his divine power has given you everything you need for your life.
So what's going to have the final say for you? Your automatic thoughts that research suggests are almost always wrong? Or scripture, which never changes and reflects the timeless truth of God's plan for you and is being validated every day by 21st-century neuroscience findings.
Let's get better at getting better together.
Save this for later when you need to remind your brain, who's boss, and share it with a friend who needs to believe that they really can get better.
Follow me for connections every day between neuroscience and faith that will help you flourish in your life.

This 1-hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years. Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
”Wednesday afternoon I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit. As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food. Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act. I pulled up to the first window in order to pay for my food. I was shocked to see Burger King employee Tina Hardy running toward the front of my car. She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream. Tina later explained that her husband was also diabetic and she could tell that I needed help. After paying I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food. She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better. After eating I waited for a break in business so that I could return to Tina’s window. I then took this picture and spoke with Tina’s supervisor, telling him what she did for me. If you appreciate what this special woman did please share this story. Hopefully Tina Hardy will receive the recognition that she truly deserves from the public and from the big bosses at Burger King.”

My 93 year old grandmother called me the other day to ask me what I thought of pineapples, so I told her I liked them and she told me she thinks that “Pineapples are fucking great” and then she hung up on me and honestly this is just legend behaviour
A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇
