Episode 24:16 The Healthiest Way To Start Your Day One of the best ways to assess a person’s health is by asking them to describe the first hour of their day.

On last week’s episode we talked about how to use prayer AS a treatment. The topic created quite a stir as people aren’t used to using prayer AS a treatment.

Certainly praying for any of those things is good but using prayer AS a treatment is, in our opinion, even bett...
