Everyone needs to hear this message! This powerful message is from a woman speaking about the revolution in Iran. This is what's happening now in the US and what will happen to the libs who are helping them.
This is probably the most controversial thing I discuss publicly: you already have what you need to heal, grow, and change.
I want you to say this out loud with me if you're somewhere you can: "I already have what I need to heal and grow and change."
I know it's true for you because Scripture says it. You already know you have a sound mind from 2 Timothy 1:7 ("God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind").
Then Peter adds this.
"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." (2 Peter 1:3, NIV)
Every time I teach this, somebody comes up and says, "But you don't know what I've been through. You don't know my personality. You don't know my diagnosis."
That's true, I don't. But I do know what Peter wrote, and he wrote "everything we need."
I say this with love, friend, but also as a doctor giving you the straight facts; I don't see an asterisk in that verse that says, "Unless I've been through trauma, or have ADHD, or a high ACE score, or my name is ________."
So are you ready to accept what he has already given you, and the way he designed you? Are you willing to learn how to operate your system so it stops operating you?
And ultimately the question is this: do you want to get better, or do you want to stay broken, bitter, or trying to figure out who to blame for what's keeping you stuck? Because neuroscience and scripture agree: you have what you need if you're willing to change your mind.
Share this with a friend who needs to know they are designed to heal, and save it for later when you need a friendly reminder that you have what you need.
And follow me for daily connections between neuroscience and faith that will help you in your quest for healing, hope, and higher performance in your life.

Today I have written to the Prime Minister asking him to refer my ministerial declarations to the Independent Advisor on Ministers’ Interests.
I have always followed the rules and I hope such a review will provide further clarity.
