Under his leadership, Omnicell has grown from a single product offering to delivering the most comprehensive portfolio of medication management solutions across the continuum of care.Mr. Lipps founded Omnicell in 1992 after observing how inefficiently medical supplies were managed when his daughter was hospitalized at birth. Inspired by his work in airline industry operations and logistics, he sought to enable better management of supplies and medications to help improve patient care.Omnicell became a publicly traded company in August 2001, and today healthcare systems worldwide leverage the company's automation and advanced services offerings to maximize clinical and operational outcomes.In 2014 Mr. Lipps was elected to the Bellwether League Hall of Fame, an industry organization that honors healthcare supply chain innovators, pioneers, and visionaries.Mr. Lipps has made giving back to the community a priority at Omnicell. Omnicell Cares, the company's formalized charitable efforts program, translates this into action, making a positive difference by fostering opportunities for volunteerism, charitable giving, and raising awareness for critical topics and issues. Mr. Lipps and his wife, Kathy, have focused their own philanthropy on poverty, nursing and public education, pharmacy research, youth groups, and local community efforts. Mr. Lipps serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Nurses Foundation.Prior to founding Omnicell, Mr. Lipps was Assistant Vice President of Sales and Operations for a division of American Airlines. He holds Bachelor degrees in both Economics and Business Administration from Southern Methodist University. Topics to discuss –Introduction to Randy and Omnicell and his journey leading the digital transformation of medication management Staffing shortages and employee retention are top problems facing employers today, especially hospitals and health systems. In the pharmacy, labor shortages have far-reaching impacts including reduced quality of patient care, increased workloads for staff, slow delivery of medications, growing operational costs and process inefficiencies that lead to medication errors. Automation for pharmacies could be the key to addressing these issues and optimizing hospital staff's efficiency to reduce labor gaps.How the Innovation Lab allows customers to get a firsthand look at how automation technologies can make their healthcare operations more efficient and enable nurses and pharmacists to spend more time caring for patients. The autonomous pharmacy vision. How pharmacy automation reduces medication errors through accurate dispensing, streamlines inventory management and real-time tracking, ensures controlled substance security and regulatory compliance, and gives nurses more time to focus on higher-value tasks that directly impact patient care.Guest - Randall Lipps is Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of OmnicellSocial Media:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/randall-lipps-a76412195/Website: https://www.omnicell.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Omnicell1Host - Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBAhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hillary-blackburn-67a92421/  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In this episode, our guest is Srulik Dvorsky, who is the co-founder and CEO of TailorMed. Drawing on his experiences caring for family members with cancer—and his background as a technological leader in the medical device space—he started TailorMed with a mission to remove barriers to care. Now the market's category leader, TailorMed offers the nation's largest affordability network spanning more than800 hospitals, 1,300 clinics, and 1,400 pharmacies, as well as premier life science companies. Under Srulik's leadership, TailorMed has received broad recognition for its impact and innovation, including Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 list and the New York Digital Health 100 list for three consecutive years. He holds a global MBA from the Arison School of Business at Reichman University and a BSc in electrical engineering from Tel Aviv University.Topics to discuss –1. Background on TailorMed, its mission, and its role for bringing down the cost of care for patientsFounding of TailorMed: After caring for several family members with cancer, Srulikwanted to leverage his expertise in technology to help solve a critical challenge in healthcare. He co-founded TailorMed in 2018 with a mission to help patients overcome barriers to care.2. Problem Overview: Affordability in Healthcare / Specialty Care:Rising medication costs lead many patients, particularly those who require specialty care, to delay or forgo therapy. About 1 in 5 U.S. adults says they have not filled a prescription, while 1 in 10 has cut pills in half or skipped doses in the last year,due to cost. This leads to higher rates of prescription abandonment and lossof revenue for pharmacies–and poor adherence and worseoutcomes for patients.3. How TailorMed Partners with Pharmacies:There is an abundance of financial assistance to help patients afford their medications, amounting to over $50 billion in total. These resources are underutilized because pharmacies and providers often lack a proactive approach to identify patients inneed and efficiently match them with assistance programs. TailorMed enables pharmacies and providers to flag financially at-risk patients and streamline program matching and enrollment. TailorMed began with provider partners and expanded to include top specialty pharmacies, infusion centers, and life science companies—building the nation's largest affordability network.4. Key Considerations for Pharmacy Teams Tackling MedicationAffordability:Streamline financial assistance workflows to proactively address cost barriers at scale.Embed affordability solutions into day-to-day operations to reduce administrative burden.Use data and automation to boost efficiency and support better patient outcomes.Prioritize change management and IT collaboration to ensure smooth adoption and long-term success of tech-driven solutions. Track both clinical and financial impact to refine your approachand promote best practices.Guest - Srulik Dvorsky, MBATailorMed's https://tailormed.co/ Srulik Dvorsky's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/srulik/ TailorMed's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tailormed---medical-journey-innovations/ Host - Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBAwww.hillaryblackburn.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hillary-blackburn-67a92421/  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Nearly 9 in 10 pharmacists are at a high risk of burnout, but how do affected pharmacists find a path forward? In this episode, we sit down with Devan Conley, Pharmacist at TrueCare Pharmacy in Concord, NC, to find out firsthand. Devin discusses his journey with burnout—which crept up during COVID and kept on for years, culminating in a struggle with prescription misuse. But, more importantly, Devan shares how he recovered, and how that recovery reshaped the way that he approaches life and pharmacy alike. Today, Devan is a pharmacist at a 340B pharmacy inside a federally qualified health center, launching behavioral health and harm reduction programs so that anyone dealing with similar struggles can find support.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/05/2025): 3:05pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response, Governor Greg Abbott has argued that fleeing the state to prevent the legislative process simply because you don't like the expected outcome of an upcoming vote amounts to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.” 3:15pm- Fun Fact: Did you know that the total number of House members briefly expanded from 435 to 437 in 1959 when both Hawaii and Alaska became states. Congress temporarily approved of the expansion to prevent any existing state from losing a seat immediately upon the Hawaii/Alaska admission. 3:40pm- While appearing on CNBC, President Donald Trump said of Texas redistricting efforts: “We are entitled to five more seats.” 3:45pm- In response to Texas's redistricting attempt, Governor Gavin Newsom has pledged to redistrict California—presumably removing several Republican congressional seats. Interestingly, Republicans currently hold just 17% of the congressional seats in CA—despite nearly 40% of the state voting for Donald Trump in 2024. Doesn't that suggest the state is already heavily gerrymandered? Comparatively, Democrats currently hold 32% of the House seats in Texas (with one vacant seat in a district that is reliably blue—so, the real number is closer to 34%). Kamala Harris won 42% of the Texas statewide vote in 2024. 4:05pm- Hans von Spakovsky—Senior Legal Fellow at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Department of Justice launching a grand jury investigation into the “Russiagate” hoax. 4:20pm- Rich saw the new Naked Gun movie with Liam Neeson—and it was surprisingly good! 4:35pm- Patricia Posner—Journalist & Author of the book, “The Pharmacist of Auschwitz”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest piece for The New York Post, “Zohran Mamdani's NYC could look like Sadiq Khan's far-left London and New Yorkers should be terrified.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2025/08/02/opinion/zohran-mamdanis-nyc-could-look-like-sadiq-khans-far-left-london/. 4:50pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. 5:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.

During a recent conversation, Dr. Bela Mehta, Chair of the Division of Pharmacy Practice and Science at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, shared her insights on the vital role of community pharmacists. The discussion highlighted the challenges faced during the COVID pandemic, including increased patient care demands and immunization efforts, which contributed to rising levels of burnout among pharmacy practitioners. Dr. Mehta reflected on her personal journey, beginning with her father's immigration from India to the U.S. in the 1960s, her childhood in India, and her eventual return to the U.S. Her early experiences working in a community pharmacy sparked a passion for the profession, reinforcing her commitment to patient care. Her academic path, including earning a PharmD and completing a residency, led her to academia, where she now focuses on training future pharmacists and advancing equitable healthcare access. The conversation explored the evolving landscape of pharmacy education and the need for innovative approaches to prepare students for modern challenges. Dr. Mehta emphasized the systemic issues affecting the profession post-pandemic, including workforce shortages and mental health strains on pharmacists. She discussed ongoing efforts to address burnout, improve working conditions, and foster collaboration among healthcare teams to enhance both provider well-being and patient outcomes. Dr. Mehta also shared her interest in complementary and alternative medicine, challenging conventional perspectives within the field. Her approach underscores the importance of evidence-based, patient-centered care that respects diverse needs and preferences. To conclude, Dr. Mehta offered valuable advice on mentorship, leadership, and finding purpose in one's career. She stressed the importance of recognizing achievements and maintaining a balance between personal and professional growth. The discussion reinforced the essential role pharmacists play in healthcare and the ongoing need to support their contributions to community health. -+=-+=-+=-+= Join the Conversation!

Dale Wollschleger is the Founder and former CEO of Cleveland-based ExactCare Pharmacy and the developer of the ExactPack™—a patient-specific medication packaging system designed to simplify complex medication regimens.This conversation with Dale dives into the unlikely journey of a pharmacist-turned-entrepreneur who started in the back of a small Cleveland pharmacy and built a billion-dollar organization serving patients across the country.ExactCare's meteoric growth—from inception to a multi-hundred-million-dollar business in under a decade—has earned it repeated recognition as an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company and a Top Workplace by The Plain Dealer. Dale himself was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year.Ultimately, Dale's remarkable journey stems from an observation he made as a pharmacist: that pharmacists have the opportunity to play a more integral role in clinical care—and that their responsibility doesn't end when the patient leaves the store. Many patients could live healthier, more independent lives if only they took the right medications at the right times.In our conversation, Dale shares how he navigated the many chapters of scaling a healthcare business: bringing in private equity and outside capital, evolving his leadership, and balancing high-growth expectations with a deep commitment to patient outcomes, company culture, family—and much more.00:00 - The Journey of a Pharmacist Turned Entrepreneur14:34 - Building ExactCare: Addressing Complex Patient Needs24:18 - The Evolution and Vision of ExactCare31:07 - Entrepreneurial Spirit in Pharmacy38:59 - Understanding the Pharmacy Industry43:24 - Pride in Building in Cleveland-----For more on The O.H.I.O.

After 25 years in business, he uncovered a radical truth: most pain, mental illness, sickness, and trauma aren't rooted in physical or emotional causes, but in the spiritual realm. By identifying and removing the specific spiritual roots behind these struggles, he's helped over1,000 people find freedom from things like chronic pain, anxiety, addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts, and even bipolar disorder—issues that medical science often can't resolve. Once the root is gone, the problem typically disappears in less than 24 hours—with a documented 90% success rate. Beatty outlines this simple, step-by-step method in his book, The Prayer of Freedom, available at www.ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com. Today, he'll expose why so many people stay stuck—and how anyone can experience real, lasting healing by targeting the root issue most others overlook.

Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic [00:01:00] violence advocate, Diana . She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. Now here is Diana. Hello and welcome to the podcast. Come on in, take a deep breath, breathe out. It's pretty crazy out there right now. Hopefully this is a sanctuary for you, a place of rest. A place to come and take a load off, a peaceful place and try and make it that way. Say a prayer. I hope that you've been enjoying the guests that we've had on the show recently. We do have a great guest for you this week as well. We're gonna be talking about [00:02:00] prayer when it comes to wellness. We are certainly big on prayer here and trying to find ways to heal from domestic violence and abuse. And my guest today is Beatie Carmichael, and he's gonna tell us our prayer. Is instrumental in healing. Uh, I wanna tell you a little about his bio here. Beatty Carmichael is the author of the book, the Prayer of Freedom. He has developed a way of praying for healing. God actually answers those prayers around 87% of the time. With this process, he has seen God heal over 700 people. Everything from relationship [00:03:00] conflicts, all kinds of chronic pain, anxiety, glaucoma, and more. Some people think God doesn't answer prayers for healing because they've never seen him do it for them, but Beatty has found that with the right approach, God does it almost every time. So if you struggle with relationship conflicts, chronic pain, migraines, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and more, you're in for a big treat. With today's guest as Beatty shares the root cause of most of these issues and a simple four step approach in prayer to get lasting freedom from them today. So I do want to say when we're talking about healthcare issues, 'cause I work in healthcare. Yes, prayer is definitely a part of [00:04:00] healing. The hospital that I belong to, that I work at definitely believes in faith and incorporating prayer as part of the treatment plan. And some of the stories and examples that he's going to give are pretty miraculous. Just want to make sure that you are following your medical professional's advice, whether it's a medical doctor or a psychiatrist, psychologist. Pharmacist. That you are following their professional advice. Don't stop taking your medication or don't stop taking your cancer treatment unless it is approved by your doctor who is in charge of you. I have to say that because, a lot of lawsuits happen, especially here in the United States, you know, the whole, this is not to diagnose, cure, treat any [00:05:00] disease. We all see that on things like vitamins and so forth. But at the same time, we are open-minded to other ways of healing, particularly. Spiritual ways of healing is a little bit of a different take on healing. So we wanna be open-minded to other options that may work for you that may supplement what you're doing now. We certainly need God's help when it comes to healing because he is the great physician. So I am, excited as to what he has for us today and what he has to show for us. So enjoy my conversation with Beatty Carmichael. I'm excited to welcome my guest today, Beatie Carmichael from Birmingham, Alabama. Welcome. Well, thank you, Diana. I'm glad to be here. We're gonna talk about your book, the [00:06:00] Prayer of Freedom and about prayer and healing. So I'm very excited to have you today. Now, are you a survivor yourself or any of your family members? No, but I teach at a place where I deal with survivors all day long. Yeah. You say you teach a class on spiritual warfare at a Women's Addiction Recovery center. Yeah. So tell us about that, your ladies that you help. So, it's the largest addiction recovery center in America. They house over 500 women, and they're all recovering from addiction. Usually with addiction, you have all kinds of trauma, childhood abuse, you have all kinds of parental, loved one abuse and just all this stuff that goes with it. And I teach, two or three classes and I've been doing it for three years and love to just grow and to love the ladies and really understand a lot of the challenges they go [00:07:00] through. And I, I do teach a class on spiritual warfare. And the subtitle is How to Get Free of These Torments that They that struggle with. And it's the number one class in this facility because most of my students, when they come in, they leave being freed of most of the junk that they've been carrying for most of their life. And they're able to let go and finally start to be on a platform where they can move forward in life. So it's been really cool. Wow. You come from a family of doctors, I understand? Yes. So I come from a line of seven generations of medical doctors and I'll have to brag on mayo Clinic. So my dad, when he was in surgery, he entered surgery when specialties were just coming out, and so he was a vascular surgeon. His specialty were the carotid arteries on the either side of the neck, and it's very critical because if any of, if one of those bursts, you got [00:08:00] minutes before the eyes. Right? And so my dad had the highest. The quickest route recovery quickest surgery, lowest complication, even higher, better numbers than the guys at the Mayo Clinic. So we always thought, Hey, that's pretty cool, wow. Mayo Clinic. But he retired, 15, 18 years ago. But seven generations consecutively of medical doctors. I didn't go into medicine, but I took the same approach. To work on healing, which is a scientific approach, and I help people get healed through more of a prayer approach than a medicine approach. And it's been really cool. So was there like an event that brought you into this prayer? Yeah. I'll tell you the story as it is, whether you believe it or not, or whether you, okay. So I end up going into business. I'm actually a small business owner by trade and vocation. I [00:09:00] helped real estate agents get listings. It's a little company called agent dominator.com and about nine years ago, the Lord started put this burden on my heart to want to bring healing into people's lives and looking backwards. I can kind of see now, sort of this healing mantle in my generations and it was always there, but had been suppressed for me. But he started to awaken it and he led me eight and a half years ago to simply go out and try to pray for people for healing. And so, with a little bit of anxiety, but kind of this urge to try it. I went out to a Walmart and I walk up to people that look like they're in pain. They're limping, they're riding one of those scooters because they can't walk. Things of that sort. And I just asked, Hey, I'm out praying for people. Can I pray for you on anything? Are you in pain? Right? And I saw a third of the people. Uh, now you have to understand my definition of healing may be a little bit different. I call [00:10:00] it heal. But since we're on a kind of a medical type show, I wanna be clear on this, it was a total cessation of symptoms. Okay? Okay. So, like, the, one of the first ladies, she was she had degenerative disc in her neck and degenerative disc in her lower back. She was racked in arthritis and she had lupus and she was riding one of these little electric scooters and she had an assistant with her to help her get things off the shelf because she couldn't even look up. Mm-hmm. So I prayed for her and I said, well, stand up and let's see if it works. Right. And she stands up, no pain. She can move her neck all the way around. She can li you know, I mean everything as if. There was nothing there anymore, so I would call that being healed. She didn't go to the doctor, so we don't have a medical diagnosis, but everything that she couldn't do, she could do now without pain. And I started to see a third of the people I prayed for what that type of stuff would happen. And then within about a year or so, I got it up to about 90%. [00:11:00] People like with glaucoma, their eyes would, they can now see people who couldn't hear would now hear. I mean, these things that we would say, uh, like one first ones was a lady with RSD. She had on this compression sleeve on her right arm. And I said, can I pray for you? She said, yes, but don't touch it. I said, what's going on? I have RSD. And I said, oh, okay. Like, I knew what it was. I had no idea what RSD is about, When I went back and told dad about this, and I told him about RSD, he said, RSD. Is a neuropathy type of a neurological issue. It's extremely painful and it's incurable. And if she no longer has pain, he said that's a miracle, right? But after I prayed for her, you could touch her arm and she, I mean, everything was just normal. So I started to go this direction and then what happened that led me into where we're going with the prayer freedom is after about seven years of this, and I would say about a hundred people a year. All these things disappear. I'd go out and I was seeing nine outta 10 people, [00:12:00] whatever, as I prayed for all the symptoms, completely disappear. And then in a period of two weeks, I went back out and I now only saw one outta 10. And it baffled me, you know, I, I'm a scientist. I say, you keep doing the same thing, you should get the same result, right? So I went in prayer and asked God, what's going on? And God said, I took that gift of healing away. I said, why? He said, because now I want you to do it based on authority. And I understood what he meant. This is one of the things I've been experimenting with along the way is some of these spiritual laws and how, to define for you and the audience. You have several types of sciences. One is a physical science, right? So in physical sciences, I like, I have a pen, and if I let go of the pen, it drops. And every time I let go of the pen, it drops. And if you were to pick up your pen and let go of it, it would drop. So we can conclude. There's a physical law, we call it gravity because mm-hmm. Every time you do the same result, [00:13:00] same activity always gets the same result. So we can say there's a law that we can't see, but it's empirically provable. I started to see the same thing in the spiritual realm. And I call it spiritual realm because it's just not the physical realm. I don't know what realm it is. I just call it spirit. And that spiritual realm is when we pray a certain process over here, the same result always occurs over on this other side. And that's where God was starting to send me. So I would go back out to Walmart in places and I would take them through a process rather than me praying for them, I would lead them in prayer and they started getting the same result of all kinds of things that. We would call a miracle be only because we can't explain how in the world could that happen. And then God told me to write this into a book and that's what came out with the prayer freedom. And as I'm teaching at this Addiction Recovery Center, these women have all kinds of [00:14:00] issues. If you're familiar with anyone with addiction, there's a lot of trauma that goes with it. Usually in early age, and then you have, as a result of that, you have all kinds of things like bipolar, you have anxiety and depression and panic attacks. You have sometimes voices in your head, all kinds of chronic pain. And for these ladies also lots of addiction. And I worked out a worksheet where you make a list of the things that are the spiritual roots I was able to identify. And I gave them a prayer of just how to pray to God and include these spiritual roots basically saying, I'm sorry about doing this, or I'm sorry about doing that. And so I gave it to my three classes. I first had to make a list of all the issues they were going through, so all this stuff that, the mental illnesses, the chronic pains, and the addiction urges and anything else, and rate those, illness, those levels on a scale of zero to [00:15:00] 10. 10 being worse, zero being, they don't have it. They don't feel it, they can't identify it. And then I had them go through this process on their own. 'cause I wanted to measure was does this really work or is it just something with me? So I came back a month later and they turned in their papers after praying through going through this process. And I found that of those who completed it, 87% of them. Saw pretty much everything on their list go to a zero, just like totally disappear out of their lives. The 13% of the people saw almost no movement. Okay? So I'm not sure what's going on with the 13%, but for almost nine outta 10, it just like almost everything left, which is interesting. I won't thing about that until just now. Those are the same numbers I saw praying for people, right? Nine outta 10. I see the same thing with this. Yet, this is now a systematic approach. And so [00:16:00] that's why I say it's a spiritual approach to on spiritual laws, because these ladies, they're, some are atheists, some may probably Buddhist or Hindu. Others are Christian. Others are just agnostic. It doesn't matter to their religion. It's just that the framework of there's probably a God that created us. If, have you ever heard Diana of Karma? Do you know what karma is? Yes. Okay. Mm-hmm. So a lot of people say, you know, karma, you do bad things, bad things are gonna happen to you, kind of this cause, right? Yeah. Well, the Bible actually talks about that as as a root of sickness. And I use the Bible because it's been really accurate spiritually from the spiritual laws. And one of the things it says is, it says, actually two things. Number one in the Old Testament, it says, if you sin against God, uh, this is in a book called Deuteronomy. It said, if you sin against God and don't obey him, then he'll send on you all these sicknesses and diseases. And then over in the New [00:17:00] Testament at the end of the Bible, in James five 16, it says, if you confess your sins, you'll be healed. So it shows both of these spiritual laws. You do something bad against God, sickness and diseases, and then if you confess your sin, which means to repent and be sorry for them, then he will heal you. And that's basically the premise of this, of the prayer freedom is identifying these things that we may have done that maybe is against what God wants us to do. And when we say we're sorry and ask him to heal it, then we find a lot of these things just kind of disappear. I do wanna be real, since we're on a medical call, let me get this claimer. Okay. If you're under the care of a doctor, don't stop anything until you get their doctor's for approval, right? Because Yes, thank you. Yeah, because some of this stuff, it may not be exactly what you're thinking, but more than anything else, there's a lot of stuff that we don't want to fill with, especially when you get into prescription type of drugs. Okay. And there's a lot of issues there. So, [00:18:00] if you're on any sort of prescriptions or any other therapies before you stop it, even if you think you can, go talk to the doctor first and get permission. Great. Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Now you're talking about prayer, but. Would you call yourself a prayer warrior? What is your spiritual background? Like, were you really good at praying or no? What was it like for you growing up? I went to a very liberal church initially that really didn't teach much, other than feel good is the way I would describe it. Then I moved to another church that was very legalistic. Very dogmatic. Mm-hmm. And there was like no love. Right? Right. And so this whole thing of prayer, what really happened to me is I was, you know, I claim, I'm a Christian as my chosen religion, but it wasn until God started to heal people, when I would pray for them. I got really [00:19:00] curious about what this thing is all about and really curious, is prayer really that effective? Right, because it's, I'd never seen that before. Oh, I pray, but I'm not sure I could really say because I prayed something happened. And a lot of times I just wouldn't pray about things because it is like you just kind of pray and goes up in this ether somewhere and we hope maybe something happens good from it. Taking vitamins. We take vitamins, but we can't really track anything specific. We just know it's probably good. Unless you have scurvy? Yeah. Unless you have scurvy or something. Vitamin That vitamin C. But once I started to see people starting to be healed, it really prompted a high level of curiosity to understand what's going on. And this is where I think I call it the scientific mind. Only because doctors are scientists, they're medical scientists and so while they are medical doctors, I call myself a prayer doctor, right? Because they use medicine to heal. I figured out a way to [00:20:00] use prayer to heal so that I wouldn't call myself a prayer warrior. If anything, I would say I'm a scientist, a spiritual scientist or a prayer doctor. I'm not sure. But yeah, so that's how I started. And then over the years I started to identify these spiritual laws that the Bible talked about. And then I would go out and test them and start to pick up a consistent pattern of, I'll call it empirical data that was just irrefutable. And I go, wow, this works. And it no longer works because of me. It works because someone else is following the process. So I know a couple atheists very well, and we've had some conversations, very spirited conversations about Yeah, that God doesn't exist. You mentioned that this would work for anyone, even atheist. So they would say prayer is communication and worship of a [00:21:00] deity. So. Why would an atheist go for that? Just curious. I think this is a great place to stop. I know that you're gonna wanna hear more stories and more about this healing with prayer as to how it works and how you can incorporate it into your treatment plan. He has a lot more to say, so I encourage you to be here next time on the Woods of the Faithful Podcast. Thanks for listening. God bless you. Have a great week. Bye for now.
