Ten Ways to be Super Miserable (Borrowed from Season 2, Episode 30)It dawned on me that I might be underserving some of my listeners. I’m always talking about how to be happier, but today I thought, “Wait, Lee. Some listeners might want you to teach them how NOT to be happy too!”Friend, please forgive me if you’ve been waiting on me to release content to help you NOT be happy.So, I thought today I would share the ten very best ways to guarantee that you’ll feel miserable in life! We’re going to learn how not to be happy, friend, and we’re going to start today.Scriptures mentioned:Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped.” Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 ESVDo not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others.Proverbs 19:11 ESVGood sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.James 1:19 ESVKnow this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to angerProverbs 12:16 ESVThe vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.Ephesians 5:19-20 (ESV)“…addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”Psalm 1:1-3How happy is the one who does notwalk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers!Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.Philippians 4:7 that, ”… the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Psalm 16:6 (NIV)The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.Psalm 16:6 (TPT) Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places. I’m overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following you!John Bevere’s Book The Bait of SatanMusic by Tommy Walker(Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 ) This is a public episode.

Life is hard, and we need to be ready for it when it shows up.I believe that a process called pre-hab is one of the keys to handling the hard things life throws at us.

Today, I introduce you to one of my favorite songwriters, Brenton Brown, and I give you some of my favorite books I read in 2022. These are books that I found to be amazingly helpful and powerful, and I think they’ll help you, too.
