Why Worldview Matters

Good morning my friend, I hope you're doing well. Dr. Lee Warren here with you.

And it's wildcard Wednesday.

We're going to go back in time, back to March of this year today.

I'm going to give you an episode that I did for the paid subscribers back before

we moved away from Substack.

Now we've had a little interruption in our system so the paid program has been paused for a bit.

We're just about ready to relaunch it on MailerLite, the new system that we're using.

So you have never heard this episode unless you

were a paid subscriber that was listening on substack back in

March But the reason I decided to bring this back is

because I got an email yesterday from a woman named Susan Susan

thanks for your email by the way And she wrote in and talked

about a book that she had read by John Mark Comer and how his work She thought

would be helpful to me and I just want to tell you Susan you were spot -on John

Mark Comer's book live no lies made a big difference in my thinking and how

to clarify what I was trying to say back in Mind to Change March about worldview.

John Comer's book Live No Lies was really the first place where I ever heard

it articulated very clearly the difference between the Augustinian worldview

and the way that Western thought was significantly shaped by Sigmund Freud.

And I want to bring this back to you today. We've talked about it a few different

ways in different times with James K .A.

Smith's work and others, and we even did a whole series about being on the road

with St. Augustine and all of that.

But all that came out of really, I think I first kind of started thinking about

it because of John Mark Comer's book, Live No Lies.

And so this episode that we did back in March with the paid subscribers called

To Thine Own Self, it was basically a look at worldview.

And I'm just gonna tell you, as much as we talk about brain science,

as much as we talk about prehab and scripture and all these things, if you're not careful,

you can allow a secular worldview to sneak in and influence your thinking without

even realizing it because it's so pervasive.

That the whole entire society is telling us all the time follow your feelings

be true to yourself You know live your best self now,

You find you do you you find your truth and those little ideas especially with

our children and our young people Get kind of mixed in with a christian worldview

and over time what'll happen to you if you're not careful,

is you'll just develop this sort of culture light where your faith and your

christianity sort of looks just like a little bit better version of the culture that you're living in

And I just want to use this episode to remind us that we have to be constantly

vigilant Because what the world needs is not a little bit lighter version of its own culture.

The world needs is the radical transformation Available with the new life and

the transformed mind that Jesus Christ offers us Okay That's what the world

needs and that's what we need and if you want to become happier If you want

to feel better and be happier and become healthier all those things that we

talk about all the time Then you've got to radically.

Carefully steward your worldview and make sure that you're

not living a truth But that you're living in the power and the freedom available

with the truth And so this episode we looked at all that and it really was inspired

by John Mark Comer's book So thank you Susan for reminding me that I hadn't

I guess I just didn't realize That that episode had only really been available to the paid subscribers,

Now, while we've been down for a few months, we've had kind of a change in the

way that we sponsor and pay for the podcast and all the different ways that

we're trying to grow the show. We've added a lot of software.

We've added some hardware. We've done several things to make the show more successful,

and it's worked. You've come alongside.

We've had thousands of new listeners, and we've gone from...

20 ,000 a month 30 ,000 a month 50 ,000 downloads a month and now we're at the

120 ,000 downloads a month or so and Every time we grow we have to sort of repivot

and add some services and change software and make things more.

Available and every time we grow another thousand subscribers

it costs more to send the newsletter out and all that stuff So

that's why we have paid subscribers We have

the opportunity for you to come alongside and partner with

us And that's why we talked yesterday for the first time

about a product called peak life now peak life is a

Company that makes elixirs and teas that support your gut immune and skin hair

and nail health And Lisa was using it a long time before I even knew about it

peak is a substance You can just it's a powder you can mix in your tea Can you

mix it into ice water and make it into a tea you can?

Brew it and make it into a hot beverage I use it in

the morning as part of a kind of a triple whammy With three

products that I mix into athletic greens to help me with the

immune system prebiotic probiotic gut health Immune system

support and all of that and go back and listen to yesterday's episode if you

didn't hear it But that's why we use peak life And if you're interested in checking

this out Peak is offering a winter defense pouch to help you with as your skin

dries out in the winter as the immune system is challenged by all these viruses

and we're in close quarters with other or people who have colds and all of that.

Then Peak can give you a little boost against some of the things that are challenges

to our immune system and our overall health in the wintertime.

And they're offering a winter defense pouch with 16 free little packets of their product.

If you order $150 worth of their products, there's a link in the show notes.

We'll get a little commission to help us offset the cost of doing the podcast

and running the website and all the things that we do.

If you partner with us at no additional cost to you. And that's the little promo for Peak today.

So all of that to say, I went back in time to pull out an episode that was only

ever available to the paid subscribers.

We're gonna make that available to you today for Wildcard Wednesday in response

to this incredible email.

That we received yesterday from Susan about the way that my thinking was shaped

by John Mark Comer's amazing book

Live No Lies. We're going to talk about several books in this episode.

It's not one of the three book episodes I told you I was going to do this week.

It's just kind of a bonus and I hope it's a blessing to you.

Before we get started, I want to just remind you radically assess your worldview every day.

Pay attention and make sure that your worldview hasn't been sort of absorbed

into a cultural one, But that you're continually.

Resetting yourself up against the standard because that's what your friends

who don't know Jesus need they don't need you to be a little bit Affirming of their worldview.

They need you to show them the way the truth

and the life that's available in Jesus Christ

They need you to help them see that there's a better way

Everybody's wondering why they can't feel happier when they're

pursuing their truth And it's because you can't really find

happiness and peace and wholeness and purpose and meaning

and all these things Especially after you've faced trauma and

tragedy and massive things until you line your

worldview up with the truth That's where there's power and freedom is why Christ

set you free Paul said and Jesus said if the Sun sets you free you will be free

indeed It's time to free ourselves from a secular worldview in this episode

help you get that done But before we get started, I just have one question for you.

Hey, are you ready to change your life?

If the answer is yes, there's only one rule. You have to change your mind first.

And my friend, there's a place for the neuroscience of how your mind works,

smashes together with faith, and everything starts to make sense.

Are you ready to change your life?

Well, this is the place, Self -Brain Surgery School.

I'm Dr. Lee Warren, and this is where we go deep into how we're wired,

take control of our thinking, and find real hope.

This is where we learn to become healthier, feel better, and be happier.

This is where we leave the past behind and transform our minds.

This is where we start today. Are you ready?

This is your podcast. This is your place. This is your time,

my friend. Let's get after it.

Music.

Then I'm making an assumption, number one, that you are committed and dedicated

to the idea of changing your mind and changing your life and learning the art

of self -brain surgery to get that done.

That you are committed to the idea that science and faith don't have to be opponents

because they work together to help us figure out who we are and how we're wired

and maximize their ability to utilize these incredible brains that God has given

us to manage and navigate our life and help other people find the light as well.

Number three, I'm assuming that you've understood that hopelessness is the worst

thing that can happen to a person, and that we have to fight for hope, and that hope is a verb.

We flex those memory and movement muscles, and we're changing our minds through

that constant knowledge that hope is a decision that we can make, right?

But also, I'm making an assumption that most of you are followers of Christ.

Because we talk a lot about the Bible, We talk a lot about spiritual things in the podcast.

So I'm probably making an assumption that most of you who have decided to take

this little deeper step with me are people who follow the way of Jesus.

And if you're not, then I want to encourage you, send me an email,

leah .drleewarren .com, connect with me and let's talk on a deeper level about

that or find somebody even better, find somebody in your community,

in your world, closer, face to face, that you can talk to about these things.

Because this is the most important decision that you'll ever make,

is the decision to align your life with His.

And today I just want to talk for a minute about a stunning realization that I made.

And I made it in reading a book by John Mark Comer.

John Mark Comer has written several books. The first one I read was Garden City,

which is about heaven and about Sabbath and learning to rest.

And the second one that I read was The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry,

which is a whole concept about understanding how to slow down and not let life

be overwhelming and stressful to you and obviously didn't listen because I still

have a lot of those issues.

But those two books were good and they were really helpful to me.

But not long ago I was reading a book and often when I find a book that I want

to share with you, I'll go out to Amazon to get the link to share it and one

of my letters are on a post like this.

And down at the bottom of a post about a book will be a list from Amazon about

readers who read this also read that. And that's where I found John Mark Comer's

latest book, which came out last year, Live No Lies.

Live No Lies is one of those books that is just completely blowing my mind and I,

learned something in it that I've never I've known I've been

in fact we've been talking about it we had Elisa Childers with Natasha Crane

we've talked about Chris Hodges book the Daniel dilemma all these books about

culture and secularism versus a biblical worldview and all that but I've never

quite put my finger on exactly what it was that I was trying to say and all

these different times that I've told you,

that you can't find happiness and peace and hope by trying to be a better person,

by trying to perfect humanity.

And that's the basic difference, politically speaking, it's the basic difference

between progressives and conservatives, is that progressives basically believe

that the whole problem of man is that they just haven't perfected government yet.

We haven't perfected our ability to make laws and create policies and put up

governmental systems that will make people behave in a way that will perfect humanity.

That's basically the idea of progressivism and conservatism is almost the opposite of that.

It's basically the big problem with man is that there's no way to solve all

these human problems without some external guidance.

That we need to have a moral code and a fiber that helps us to make decisions

and that government really is designed to form a protective and general framework

but that it can't ever make people better,

that the bigger the government gets, the more inherently corrupt it gets.

And so those are two general ideas about conservative concepts and liberal concepts

and progressive concepts.

And when you take those same ideas and apply them to a biblical worldview,

of course, it gets muddy because biblical worldview is not political,

and it's not left or right.

There's ideas, in fact, if you look at Jesus, if you really look at Jesus through

the lens of what he was and what he is and what he said about himself and what

he did, it's hard to put him in a camp.

He cares a lot more about justice than you do and I do, but he also cares a

lot more about personal responsibility and holiness than you or I do.

And both sides of that coin would challenge most thinkers on the right or the

left of the political spectrum.

So we're not talking about politics today at all.

We're talking about how we get ourselves squared away. We try to say, how do we find hope?

How do we find peace? How do we find happiness? Well, there's some ideas that

the world has given us that in this day and age, if you listen to the Natasha

Crain interview that I released on Saturday.

The whole issue of a secular worldview is that it promises that it can make

you happier if you'll just create a better system and believe in these tenets of secularism,

which are laid out pretty clearly that there's no absolute truth,

that your feelings are your guide,

that God's just a and your version of God is no better or no more valid than

mine and that judging other people is the ultimate sin and all of that, right?

If you believe that, then you're gonna have a hard time allowing anybody to

tell you that there's a better way because you think there's no definition of

what the better is except what's true for you.

So John Mark Comer put something in my head that I just want to share with him

or rip it straight out of his book.

I want you to read it, live no lies, but I just want to give you a couple of

things to think about, about why that worldview isn't working when people say,

I want to be happy and pursue my own truth.

But the problem is they keep doing it and the target keeps changing and they

never seem to actually be happy.

And the reason why, Fran, I just want you to know it because I think it's important

to teach our kids, tell our families, shine that light for other people to see

because you have to change your mind about what happiness is and what hope really is.

And you can't do it by trying to be a better and better person,

you do it by surrendering to somebody else who has already shown us the path

to those things, the eternal path to those things.

I'm also going to give you back what ought to be our theme song for Mind Change

March, one of my favorite Tommy Walker songs, All About Your Glory.

And this idea, I want to make my life all about your glory, is the antithesis

of a progressive mindset.

Because the progressive mindset is I want to make my life all about my glory.

I want you to acknowledge me, I want my feelings to be validated,

I want my true self to be found and pursued.

And those two ideas are the opposite of one another.

And only one of them can produce happiness, only one of them can produce freedom,

and only one of them can actually be true.

And so the question for today is, if you're living your truth and it doesn't

set you free, is it the truth or is it just a truth that's not actually true?

I know you trust me so I just want to lay this out okay.

I started reading several years ago books that were talking about the difference

between Christianity and secular culture and just this idea started with for

me with Chris Hodge's book The Daniel Dilemma.

It's about how do you live as a Christian and make a difference and look different

and attract people to the gospel and to these to the ideas that really set them free.

How do you do that in a secular culture without becoming like the culture?

And he used the story of Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the Old

Testament and how they would not bow the knee to Nebuchadnezzar the king.

And even though they knew they were gonna get potentially thrown into the lion's

den or thrown into the furnace of fire, they were not gonna bend the knee to the culture.

So Chris Hodges' book is more about how do we do that as a church,

right, how we stand up against culture and not become stained by the world,

as Paul would say, and that was important. And then I began...

Just this long discussion as I started doing research for Hope is the First

Dose, like what really makes people happy and what is happiness really?

And the big problem, I'm probably going to write a book called Redefining Happy

at some point, because Jesus said, I came, the thief comes to steal,

kill and destroy, but I came that you might have life and have it abundantly.

And the Beatitudes, when he says, blessed are, blessed are those,

blessed is the one, blessed is he, that word blessed is actually not the right word.

We've talked a lot about makarios in my friend Randy Alcorn's book,

Happiness, and blessed is poorly translated there because the real word that Jesus said is happy.

Makarios means happy, and we've taken this idea that happiness means something

that's not biblical or spiritual, and that's a trick of the enemy because the

world is saying, I want to be happy.

You can't tell me that I can't do these things that are gonna make me happy.

My feelings are my ultimate guide, as Natasha Crane would say,

is the tenant of the secular worldview, right?

And Jesus then, if we allow ourselves to believe that he was talking about some

spiritual sort of state of divine, you know,

joy, as Christians sometimes say, then that means that Christians aren't supposed

to be happy, then that means that the world has no real compelling reason to

come to Jesus if they think he's not going to make them happy.

But what if the truth is, Jesus was about that all along, except that happy

doesn't mean pursuing whatever your feelings tell you to pursue.

What if happiness is this ability to be at peace and have hope and be happy

and content in your spirit, regardless of what happens, instead of I can only

be happy if this happens?

What if real happiness as defined by Jesus turns out to be,

I am happy because I have him, Because I am saved, because I have eternal goals,

because I have this untouchability of my spirit, because I know that my Redeemer lives,

and I know that He's taking care of me, even if my circumstances look poor,

then that's really happy.

So what I discovered in my research is that happier people are the ones whose

emotional state is not tightly coupled to their external circumstances.

Is that the degree of coupling of emotion to circumstance, the lower the happiness

scale is for an individual. So that's important.

And so, until I read John Mark Comer though, I wasn't clear.

I've read Elisa Childress book, Live No Lies, you know, Live Your Truth and Other Lies.

And I read Natasha Crane's book, Faithfully Different.

But I just couldn't quite put my finger on it until John Mark Comer said it

really plainly in his latest book, Live No Lies.

And here's the bottom line. It's just a quick idea I want to share with you,

and we're going to get after it.

I'm going to play you our theme song, and we'll get on with your Monday,

because I'm going to more fully expound on this in a longer post,

and I'm not just going to rip it straight from John Mark Homer.

But this is the genesis of my thinking on this, or it's the clarification of my thinking.

I finally got a way to understand it plainly, okay? Here's the deal.

Most of Western thought most of what you think the culture defines happiness as comes down to,

The history of understanding how Western thought came about and John Mark Comer

lays it out really clearly the philosopher Charles Taylor Wrote a book called the secular age.

Okay, so Natasha Crane's writing about secular worldview John Mark

Comer's pointing out Charles Taylor's work on the

secular age And he says how this is how

the West changed from a culture of authority to a

culture of authenticity and that's important This is

that this is a crucial piece We used to be

people who were defined as a basic ethos by Christian ideals and principles

of an external authority in our lives that gave us direction and Helped us make

decisions on how we lived our lives and that changed something changed that

to now being Authenticity.

You need to be authentic to your true self. You need to know who you are.

You need to follow your heart, right? Have you heard that in the culture? Of course you have.

And so, if you think about it, here's where it came from. John Mark Comer says

it this way, the tipping point was Freud.

Freud, according to psychiatrists and psychologists now, most therapists would

all agree that Freud was pretty much wrong about most of what he thought, right?

If you read about psychology today, Freud's largely been discredited,

but somehow his ideas stuck around and they created, as Comer says,

the cultural air that we now breathe.

So even though his psychiatry ideas were wrong, and even though most therapists

don't practice according to Freudian principles anymore, the ethos that he prescribed

that he described has stuck around. Here's what Comer says.

Prior to Freud, most people in the West, even if they didn't know it,

thought about desire through the lens of the fourth century philosopher Augustine.

Augustine set out these ideas.

St. Augustine was actually a North African, but he basically gave rise to Western

and European thought for a thousand years.

Now here's what Comer says. According to Augustine, the basic problem of the

human condition is that of disordered desires or loves.

In his view, human beings were created in love and for love,

so we're lovers first and thinkers second.

We live primarily from desire, not from our rational minds.

In his view, the problem with the human condition isn't that we don't love,

it's that we love either the wrong things or the right things, but in the wrong order.

Okay, so in Augustine's eyes, it's not bad to love your job,

but it's disordered if you love your job more than you love your children or your spouse.

That's disordered and it'll create problems. It's not bad to love your child,

but if you love your child more than you love God, it's disordered and it'll

deform how you relate to both and actually hurt your child because they don't

learn the proper relationship between God and man.

It's not even bad to love sex, but if you love sex so much that it becomes its

own path to salvation for you, or if you turn it into something that you worship

and pursue in your life above all other, then it becomes a pseudogod that you look to for identity,

hear that word and think about our current culture.

If sexual things become your identity or your ability to belong to a community.

Or for your satisfaction of your life, then it becomes the philosophical word

soteriology, which is the study of how you become saved.

If you think you can be saved through sexual things or through sexual identity

or identifying with a group of any sort,

then that becomes its own God and it's disordered and that leads to frustration

and pain and angst and difficulty and you can just look I'm just telling you

not to say anything about tolerance or love but just to say what is the fruit

of that type of living if you pursue a thing.

Whether it's gender identity or sexual ethos or anything in your life.

If it's disordered and not in the proper context, it becomes something that

creates bondage and not freedom.

Right? That's what Augustine said. Basically, order things properly and understand

the hierarchy of how things should be laid out.

So in the pre -Freud West, human flourishing was about saying yes to the right

desires, the higher desires for love and no to the lower desires,

the baser, more appetite kind of desires.

And you would navigate your desires by this mental map, this code that you inherited

and were taught by trusted external authorities like parents and teachers and

people who had your best interest in mind.

And those external authorities were guided by principles that were from the

higher authority, the Bible, Jesus, the New Testament, And basically that Western

civilization was designed and laid out according to these ideals,

and was perverted by people of course, but laid out with this idea of ordering

your desires in the service of the external authority who has the proper perspective

on what those desires are for and that will help you to have a happier, healthier life.

But then Freud came along and Freud's take was contrary, radically different than this.

Again, Comer's laying this out. For him, for Freud, our most important desire

was libido, which he defined as our desire not just for sex,

but for pleasure as a whole.

Because libido without restraint, he understood, would lead to anarchy.

And because of that, our parents and cultural structures forced us to repress our desires.

And for Freud, and this is the key of all of Freudian psychology,

repression of desire is the basis for all neuroses. So basically Augustine,

or Augustine depending on who you read and how you pronounce his name, but Augustine said...

Desire is properly manifested when it's in the right context and restrained

by the right kind of ideals so that you don't get it disordered and don't let

desire itself become the goal.

And Freud said, repression of desire makes you crazy.

And everything that's wrong with people is because some parent repressed them,

some internal disordered thinking oppressed them or kept them from pursuing

what would really make them happy.

And that the reason people are unhappy is because other people are telling them

that they can't do stuff.

And there's a better definition of what we're seeing in our culture right now. I can't find one.

And, you know, Comer says this, this great line right here, it doesn't take

a private investigator to work out whose ideas won the fight for the West's view of reality.

Freud's ideas show up in the popular slogans and catchphrases of our day,

And this is where John Mark Homer and Elisa Childers and Chris Hodges and Natasha

Cran and all these books I've been reading have kind of come together because

culture right now is telling you the heart wants what it wants. Follow your heart.

You do you. Just do it. Speak your truth. Live your truth.

And the best one, be true to yourself. And here's what the whole point of why

I wanted to share this with you today because I'm going to put this together

in a more detailed fashion later because it's lining right up with my next book, Self -Brain Surgery.

Here's the deal. There's a slogan that you learned from high school and you've

heard it in culture a million times and it came from Shakespeare and you've

heard it. To thine own self be true.

Popularly stated these days, be true to yourself. That came from Shakespeare.

And because it came from Shakespeare, lots of people use it as a slogan.

They put it on T -shirts, they get tattoos. To the unknown self, be true.

Be true to yourself, live your truth. But here's the punchline,

and this is, it's crazy to me sometimes I see when the devil has done something,

and it's just right on the nose, it's right in your face, and you can't even see it.

We can't even see it, it's so tricky that he's done this to us.

But you've got Freud who has made us redefine our ethos for our entire society

into one of pursuing our own desires and not letting anything external,

including God, tell us how we can live our lives.

Because in the secular culture, judging and trying to evangelize are two of

the greatest sins in secularism, right?

Read Natasha Crane's book again, Faithfully Different.

But so Freud has been largely discredited by his own peers because his psychological

ideas don't really help people and they don't really turn out to be useful in therapy.

So you've got a discredited psychiatrist who has successfully defined our entire culture and ethos.

And then you've got a Shakespearean quote to that own self, be true,

but guess who said that in Hamlet?

Guess who said it? It wasn't Hamlet. It wasn't the king.

It wasn't the wise person in the play it was Polonius who was a moron.

Polonius was a windbag. He was deceitful. He was evil. He was the guy who got

everything wrong in that play.

He was the ultimate villain. Polonius was a fool.

He was a moron. He was an idiot and Shakespeare wrote that into the play because

he was trying to make the point that if you try to live according to whatever

will make you happy, you're not going to be happy.

To thine own self be true turns out to be a terrible idea. It doesn't work.

Shakespeare was writing that from a tongue -in -cheek position, but guess what?

Culture and the devil have made it an ideal now.

The whole thing I wanted to share with you on Mind Change Monday is there's

two ideas you need to get out of your head.

One is that the pursuit of desire, it leads to happiness. that repressing your

desires leads to slavery?

Because it doesn't. Those are wrong.

Pursuit of desire ultimately leaves you wanting more.

And just think about it. How many times have you pursued something that was

not God's plan for your life, and you've got it, and it didn't make you happy?

When you've had that bag of Cheetos you had your eye on, and you ended up still being hungry,

or you had that extra glass of wine, and you ended up still not being happy

or satisfied and you wanted something else and that led to pursuing more and

more and more and now you have an addiction, right?

You finally had that relationship that you've been pursuing and it led to the destruction of...

A lot of the peace of mind and happiness in your life, or it led to some other form of bondage.

Then you pursue these desires and then you find you're still hungry and you're still thirsty.

And Jesus comes along and he says, I'm going to give you some water that when

you drink it, you won't ever be thirsty again.

I'm going to give you some food that when you eat it, you'll be finally satisfied.

I'm going to give you some words that when you read them, you will be filled

by them and they will help you in your life.

That's what A life that's not defined by the pursuit of desire leads you to,

So today I want you to break that idea the

mind change Monday concept is get rid of this

idea that pursuing desires is the ultimate aim of

humanity Because friend it's not it

leaves you empty And it leaves you more in bondage because

if you think that there's a desire that if you finally get it

You'll finally be happy It's you're chasing your tail for

the rest of your life And you're going to teach your kids that that's what they

need to do too And that is not my friend the good life and the second thing

to break is this notion that to that own self be true Leads to some sort of

happiness because the guy who said that was a moron and it doesn't lead to happiness

You don't need to be true to yourself.

You need to be true to somebody else who's telling you what yourself was created for.

The highest ideal and aim of man is to minimize ourself so that he can maximize

ourselves and he can make you fully who you were created to be because if you

look at the evidence of what happens when people try to make it themselves,

it's a disaster and that's what's wrong with our culture right now.

So my friend here on Mind Change Monday I want you to read John Mark Comer's

book Live No Lies And some of his writing is a little out there, it seems kind of crazy,

but this idea about culture and identity and the pursuit of what's really going

to be able to make you happy in your life is spot on.

And I'd never heard anybody put Freud and Polonius from Shakespeare right next

to each other, and that's exactly what I've been looking for. It's exactly right.

The enemy has convinced us that we need to live our own truth,

that we need to pursue our own happiness, that anybody that comes in between

us and what will make us happy is repressing us or hurting us.

And those things, my friend, are not true. And that's why Paul said in Romans,

don't be conformed to the world, but rather be transformed by the renewing of your minds.

And that's what Mind Change Monday's about. That's what Mind Change March is about.

That's what self -brain surgery is about. It's about changing your mind so you can change your life.

And the good news is, my friend, you can start today. Oh, for the living God!
