Medical Miracles | Dr. Robert Collins | Episode #200

Dr. Robert Collins joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for miracle stories found at the intersection of prayer and medicine.

Dr. Robert experienced the power of prayer when his son had major surgery on a tumor that was on his spine. Inspired and supported by past patients and faithful friends, Dr. Collins and his wife felt a cloud of prayers as they waited through their son’s procedure.  

Healing is much broader than we could ever imagine, so be sure that your work is always under the influence of prayer.
