Is Worship Good for Your Heart? A Cardiologist Who Survived a Heart Attack Explains

No cell phone. No one coming down the mountain. Just a prayer: "Lord, I have kids at home." God answered. Dr. Marcum then spent the next 23 years searching for what could help heal what was left of his heart, and his patients' hearts too.

What he found surprised him: worship was the starting point.

In this video you'll learn:
• What happened on that mountain, and the prayer that changed everything
• Why Dr. Marcum came to trust the Bible as a source of truth, far ahead of scientific discovery
• How worship lowers stress and quiets the inflammatory gene signaling (NF-κB) that drives chronic inflammation
• Why less inflammation means a healthier artery lining (the endothelium), more nitric oxide, better blood pressure and less plaque
• What Dr. Andrew Newberg's brain research shows about just minutes of worship and prayer
• The many forms of worship: prayer, Bible study, time in nature, family, friends and service
• Why worship is the first step in heart disease reversal

"My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth." — Psalm 121:2
