On this episode of Advances in Care , host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity and surgical risk. Today, an experienced team of specialists at Columbia treat TAVR patients with a combination of advancements including advanced replacement valve materials, three-dimensional and ECG imaging, and a personalized approach to cardiac care. Finally, Dr. Smith shares his thoughts on new frontiers of cardiac surgery, like the challenge of repairing the mitral and tricuspid valves, and the promising application of robotic surgery for complex, high-risk operations. He reflects on life after he retires from operating, and shares his observations of how NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia have evolved in the decades since he began his residency.

Pastor Calvin imparted an urgency about the will of God being that none should perish without receiving Jesus as Savior! If we truly believe that Jesus is coming back soon, nearer than when we first believed, every sign happening right now, near and at the door, then there needs to be an urgency that grips our hearts! We are not ashamed of the gospel, so we must seize the moment, receive grace for each day, live holy, pray and GO with the fire and glory of God to advance His Kingdom! There is only one thing better than heaven for you, and that is all the people you take with you to heaven will make heaven even better for you! God doesn’t care near as much about you getting your blessing as He cares about you getting your neighbor saved and on the way to heaven!

First, Pastor Dawn listed 10 benefits of prophecy and how it changes your life and increases your faith. Then, Pastor Dawn made a strong case for knowing clearly what the Word says about who God is and about who you are in God! You need to understand that because God thinks strategically and in terms of victory, you can have His plans come to pass when you know who He is and that He has given you dominion—the power to rule and reign with Him! God has given you the ability to think higher and align circumstances in the world to what He says. You are God's son or daughter, and you need to rise up and be who God has called You to be, and not be afraid to represent Him—or "re-present Him!" Breaking generational curses, winning against poverty mentality, and letting go of natural mindsets will release you from fear and insecurity, so you can XPAND and be a demonstration of the glory of God!…
On Super Bowl Sunday, Pastor Dawn took the opportunity to let the world know that God has chosen us to win, and that Jesus is our Champion! God said in our prophetic word for this year that He is intersecting Heaven and earth, so we can put our faith on partnering with Him in “going for the touchdown” for the BIG win. It is all for souls saved and people living their life for Jesus as Lord and Savior! Several testimonies from football star Tim Tebow inspired us to see that it is the things we do with God’s heart for others (fishing for souls) that gets us to the end zone! Prayer changes things, and the people of God have to “take it by force” for the final win! We speak into the spiritual realm and take back our joy, take back our children from the land of the enemy, take our health and prosperity back, and openly proclaim Jesus as Lord for the final win! We know Jesus didn’t come here to lose!…
Elder Jonathan Farrell expounded on how 2025 has to be a different kind of year for us because God has said it is a year for us to go farther, to XPAND God’s Kingdom in every significant way. Focusing our attention on Jesus, and letting Him be our Treasure that we give up everything else in order to possess, will lead us deeper into loving obedience to God. If we want to do big things for God, it means tuning in and willingly obeying God in the little things. Anytime we obey Him in the small things it prepares us for more. We need to pray daily, “Help us be the people this year who can EXPAND ourselves into Who You are!” Then we will be able to XPAND and believe for God to show up in notable ways and notable miracles!…

Pastor Dawn’s beloved mentor, Bishop Rick Thomas of Abundant Life in Margate, Florida, blessed our congregation with godly wisdom on how to be a friend of God and receive His favor on your life! The same attributes that brought God’s extreme favor on Abraham’s life will bring God’s extreme favor on your life, too. You will see God release faith and favor for souls to be saved, for unusual miracles when you pray, and for supernatural increase in your finances. You will also see God release in you a spirit of generosity because He Himself takes great pleasure in the prosperity of His children. Generosity is a key in fulfilling God’s promise to make sure your future is always greater than your past!…
After worship, Pastor Dawn opened up the front and called on Elders and Leaders to pray for everyone who needed healing. Many received healing prayer. Pastor Dawn gave a fiery first-hand account of attending the week of special healing meetings with Evangelist Ankit Rambabu at Abundant Living, and everything she learned. Through her teaching, Pastor Dawn imparted a determination into all of us to receive all that God has for us this year! God has commanded us to XPAND this year, and we are discovering that God has given us just what we need to align with Him and let Him XPAND us as He desires. Our YES even before He speaks is what attracts Him to us so He can release His fullness on our behalf!…
Pastor Dawn introduced “XPAND” as the theme that God has given us for this new year of 2025! God is going to extend extreme grace and favor to His people as we intentionally—on purpose with great determination—move in His power and peace to fulfill our assignments for the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit is drawing us into revelation in God’s Word, and He is moving us beyond our natural abilities to partner with us to fulfill the desire of His heart! We believe many will come to know Jesus this year, and signs and wonders will be natural to us if we stay close and obey Him!…
This year of 2024 was a year that God said we were being re-established. What He meant by “re-established” became evident as the year rolled on! Pastor Dawn encouraged us that with all the challenges we had, He has proved over and over that He is still our Great Big God, and He is more than able to take what we offer Him and bring in the harvest and advance His Kingdom. With many testimonies and beautiful transparency, Pastor Dawn and others in the Church shared testimonies of how God has worked in their lives in this year to re-establish them and build a strong foundation. God is faithful to His word, and He will do it!…
Before God announced His love to the whole world through Jesus, there were 400 years of silence from God in Israel. And then, the angels announced Jesus’s birth! Jesus told the world that He came so we could know God’s love. God wants to bring you to a new understanding that you need to be saturated in who Jesus is, because Jesus is our very Hope. He brought heaven to earth in Jesus, so that you might experience Him, and know that God dwells in you. You are coming to know that God is doing something bigger and greater in the world—and it’s YOU! Jesus came to enlarge God’s family, and you are His family! You are living proof that Jesus is alive!…
God wants to see you succeed so He has put a system in place based on the principle of “First Fruits.” One of the big challenges we face as Christians is a lack of understanding about how finances work in the Kingdom of God. God wants you to invest in His Kingdom and His way of doing things, and He is looking to give you a harvest! Just as Abraham overcame doubt, built an altar and sowed a seed into his barrenness, God wants to bring your seed to life through an offering of faith that re-establishes the things that are important in your life. As you obey the Lord this year, as Abraham did, you are going to see God’s system of abundance begin to flow again. Sowing precious seed releases precious harvest!…
