    Raising Kids Who Know Who They Are | Legacy Cornerstone Academy | Cassidy Luna and Sarah Byers

    Every system seems to be under scrutiny lately — medical, financial, political. This week, Dr. Ben Edwards turns to one that's often overlooked: education. And this time, it's a good news story. Sarah Byers never planned to open a school. But a thought she couldn't shake — paired with a season of watching her son struggle to connect what he saw with what it meant — turned into Legacy Cornerstone Academy, a new Lubbock school built around a simple question: what if we helped kids become who God created them to be, instead of just moving them through a grade level? Joining Sarah is Cassidy Luna, nurse practitioner at Veritas Medical and founder of Resilient Beginnings, who's spent years studying the difference between the brain and the mind — and why so many kids get labeled ADHD or dyslexic when the real issue is a missed developmental milestone. Cassidy breaks down primitive reflexes, why visualization is the highest form of childhood development, and how movement, not medication, often unlocks a child's ability to learn. Together, Sarah and Cassidy walk through what a day at Legacy looks like, how classical curriculum and developmental therapy work side by side, and why removing comparison and labels changes everything for kids — and their confidence. If you've ever wondered whether there's a better way to raise and educate kids, this conversation will give you real hope — and real answers. Enrollment for Legacy Cornerstone Academy is open now at legacycornerstoneacademy.com. Learn more about Resilient Beginnings at resilientbeginning.com.

    Principles of Self-Governance | Abraham John

    Dr. Ben Edwards welcomes back Abraham John for a deep dive into what he calls the defining question of our time: what does God's original design for government actually look like, and why has every human system, from Eden to now, fallen short? Abraham unpacks why only two governments have ever existed from Genesis to Revelation, why government itself is a spiritual entity, and how the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represent two entirely different operating systems for humanity. He traces the three great rejections of God: Adam's choice, Israel's demand for a king, and the crowd's choice of Barabbas over Jesus, and explains why God doesn't override our choices, even now. This conversation reframes Genesis 1-3 not as a creation story but as God's architectural blueprint for life, family, health, and government. Abraham explains why Jesus never came to reform Rome or any political system, why "repent" (metanoia) means going beyond our current mindset rather than feeling guilty, and why real healing, whether national, cultural, or personal, has to start inside the individual human heart before it can show up anywhere else. If you've felt the world waking up but haven't heard real solutions, this episode points back to the beginning: God's original intent, and why that's where freedom actually lives.

    Called To Reign | Leif Hetland

    This week on You're the Cure, Dr. Ben welcomes back Leif Hetland for a deep dive into his book Called To Reign. Leif unpacks his "three chairs" framework: Chair One (identity in Christ, rooted in love), Chair Two (the orphan spirit, living for approval instead of from it), and Chair Three (the world). He shows how easily believers slide from resting in sonship into striving, fear, and performance without even noticing. They talk about why intimacy with the Father, not information or willpower, is what actually keeps us anchored in Chair One, and how fatigue, unmet expectations, and constant news cycles quietly drain the "emotional tank" that leaves the door open for fear. Leif shares stories from Nigeria, Pakistan, and his own health struggles that show what it looks like to receive identity, intimacy, and inheritance before ever stepping into destiny, and why trying to skip straight to "doing" is exactly backwards. If you've ever felt like you're squeezing out the wrong thing under pressure, this conversation is an invitation to trade striving for rest, and pressure for the Father's pleasure.

    The War of Worldviews | Jamie Winship

    What if disease isn't a mutation but a signal your body stopped receiving? Jamie Winship returns to You're the Cure to unpack his new book, The War of Worldviews, and it starts with a declassified CIA document that reframes what your thoughts are actually doing to your cells. Dr. Ben and Jamie trace the two worldviews that have shaped humanity since Genesis: Empire (separation, scarcity, control) and Kingdom (connection, mystery, true identity), and why most of us are unknowingly stuck operating from the wrong one. They get into why knowing who you are matters more than fixing what you do, the six stages of empire collapse and where the U.S. sits on that timeline right now, and how small, connected communities (not politics) are what actually turn a culture around. If Living Fearless changed how you saw yourself, this one goes even deeper. Visit https://www.identityexchange.com/ to learn more about Jamie's work and free resources.

    From Fear to Peace | Janet Newberry

    Janet Newberry joins Dr. Ben Edwards to share what happened when she and her husband Doug went through Veritas Wellness's 90-Day Reset, and how it uncovered something deeper than diet and movement. Janet had known her identity in Christ for years, yet still carried chronic tension, high blood pressure, and fear around her own health. Through the reset, she discovered that true beliefs need the right environment to take root: as she puts it, "knowing you are a beloved child of God while living in a closed system is like knowing you are a salmon while living in a parking lot." Janet traces her story from a fear-based religious upbringing and her mother's struggle with mental illness, through a hospitalization for a perforated appendix, to finally seeing normal blood pressure readings for the first time in her adult life. Along the way, she and Ben unpack the parallel between inflamed cholesterol and inflamed hearts, why "receiving" is the hardest word for most people to practice, and how the same principles that heal bodies can heal families, marriages, and even how we tell our financial stories. It's a conversation about safety, peace, and what it actually takes for truth to flourish. Registration for the next 90-Day Reset is now open.

    Sleep, Sunlight, and Repair | Stasha Gominak

    Dr. Ben sits down with retired neurologist turned sleep coach Stasha Gominak, whose career took an unexpected turn when a headache patient's sleep study revealed something medicine wasn't talking about. What started as curiosity about REM sleep and headaches led Stasha down a 20-year rabbit hole connecting vitamin D, the gut microbiome, and B vitamins to how well we actually sleep and heal. In this episode, Stasha shares how she stumbled onto the vitamin D and sleep connection, why she believes it's a hormone and not a vitamin, and the surprising downstream deficiency she discovered years later when patients started showing up with strange new symptoms. She also gets into why the microbiome may be the missing link in sleep quality, and why she thinks medicine needs more humility and more listening. This is a fascinating look at what happens when a doctor is willing to follow the evidence even when it contradicts what she was taught.

    The Truth About Cholesterol, Sunscreen & Heart Attacks | Dr. Ben Edwards

    Dr. Ben Edwards returns to connect the dots from last week's conversation with Dr. Tom Cowan — and this episode covers a lot of ground. First, Dr. Ben reads two contrasting articles on sunscreen and skin cancer, including findings from a 470,000-person UK Biobank study showing dramatically higher skin cancer risk among frequent sunscreen users — even after accounting for major risk factors like skin type, sun exposure, and sunburn history. He explains why chemical sunscreens, vitamin D deficiency, and seed oil-saturated skin cells may all be converging to fuel the modern skin cancer epidemic. Then Dr. Ben dives deep into the history of the cholesterol-heart disease theory — tracing it from a flawed rabbit study in the early 1900s to Ancel Keys' cherry-picked "Seven Countries Study," through a string of buried clinical trials and more than a dozen peer-reviewed studies that collectively call the entire saturated fat hypothesis into question. He then builds a complete picture of what actually causes heart attacks: damaged glycocalyx, loss of structured water charge in the blood vessels, inflamed plaque rupture, cardiac muscle mitochondria flipping into anaerobic metabolism, and the underappreciated role of chronic fight-or-flight nervous system activation through the vagus nerve. This is one of the most comprehensive episodes yet on cardiovascular disease — and it may permanently change how you think about cholesterol, sunlight, and the health of your heart.

    Rethinking Heart Disease | Dr. Tom Cowan

    Dr. Ben Edwards sits down with Dr. Tom Cowan, physician, author of Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, and one of medicine's most rigorous outside-the-box thinkers, for a conversation that challenges nearly everything you were taught about cardiovascular disease. They cover why the heart can't physically work as a pressure pump, what autopsy studies actually show about blocked arteries and heart attacks (hint: it's not what your cardiologist told you), and Gerald Pollack's fourth phase of water -- the gel-like, electrically charged state that drives blood flow, protects your vessels, and breaks down when you're disconnected from sunlight, the earth, real food, and other people. Dr. Cowan also pulls back the curtain on how modern biology conjures molecules like cholesterol, testosterone, and even DNA, and why the entire framework of bouncing-billiard-ball biochemistry may be a house of cards built on assumptions nobody ever bothered to test. The takeaway? Your body is a water battery. And the path back to health isn't through more scans, stents, or supplements it's through reconnecting to the things that actually charge you.
