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.

The sermon likely seems like the most daunting piece of the service to help your child with. You’d be content if they just kept still and kept quiet (that’s IF you’re bringing them in the service with you)... so you get their favorite picture books, toys to fidget with, etc. We want to encourage to instead of being overwhelmed with think about the sermon and your children being quiet, to think about how vital the sermon piece of a Sunday morning is; the sermon is where our children will get to hear from God, be convicted of sin, be comforted during hard times, and know the will of God for their lives. But how do we do that? Let us help you!…
Engaging with music at church seems easy. It seems easy to get our children to sing along, pay attention, or even raise their hands, but it takes more intentionality than bringing your children into the service. In today's episode, Thad and Ally discuss parents' role in teaching their children how to worship at church and in the home.…
What we know about parenting is that things don’t always go the way we intend. Plans go awry - there are plenty a Sunday morning where it is a CHALLENGE to get out of the house and get to church. This is resonating with parents of tiny humans - lost shoes, missing socks, the fact that it takes forever to get dressed with independent toddlers. As our kids grow older, the struggle may come more with attitude - waking up on the wrong side of the bed - than it does physically getting ready for church. Or maybe the struggle comes more so from mom or dad… it’s been a long week, you’ve had a thousand and one things on your schedule and you just want one more day “off” before you have to do it all over again.…
As believers, we should be in the body of Christ, at church for a multitude of reasons. Growth. Purpose. Fun and Enjoyment. Church community challenges you to be more like Jesus. “And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.” - Hebrews 10:24-25 Church community is vital for Christian growth. As we follow Jesus, we need other believers - to encourage us, to pray for us and with us, to teach us. We need accountability and wisdom. Church community meets practical needs. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles. Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need.” - Acts 2:42-45 Church community cares for you // fosters love “Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ..” - Galatians 6:2 “Bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive. Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.” - Colossians 3:13-14 Christian community can provide friends to encourage you, people to challenge you and mentors to lead you. Together we’re stronger. Our shared gifts, talents and resources make us stronger. Spiritual Gifts Talents Finances “Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.” - 1 Peter 4:10…
It is easy to feel overwhelmed as parents by the current digital landscape for our teens. Cell phones, social media, and gaming. Oh my! In this episode, Ally and Thad interview special guest Jeremiah on how to help parents gain perspective, education, and tools for thinking proactively and redemptively on raising an adolescent in a digital world.…
In these week's episode Thad and Ally talk about summer which means talking about Vacation Bible School, its history, its importance, and its role in the local church.
As parents, we need to understand popular culture and parenting according to God’s Word. Only then can we avoid both (1) fearing popular culture and (2) embracing it with little discernment. And only then can we apply this truth to our parenting and to the entertainments our children love. That way, we can best glorify God as we fulfil our incredible and biblical calling as parents.…
Sunday morning services are for the whole family…so how do I get my child to sit still and quietly when the pastor is preaching? Children are not only the future generation of the church, they are the church right now – and they need Sunday mornings for the same reason we do. In this breakout we’ll talk about attending church as a family, kids’ ministry vs. family worship and guiding our kids into worship on a Sunday morning!…
The Spring season brings about new life in our homes, in nature, in school activity. This week Ally and Thad want to encourage you that as the weather changes outside to use this as an opportunity to show your children and teens how great and awesome our God is. “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." Job 12:7-10…
Holy Week is a great time to prepare for Easter Sunday as a family - It’s crucial to talk with your kids and teens about the meaning of Holy Week and about the events leading up to Jesus’ death and resurrection. So what does that look like? How can we celebrate or participate in Holy Week this year?
Our most important job is to point our children to Jesus. Our goal should be to build the faith of our children, not grow their love for worldly traditions. Is it wrong to take part in the secular traditions the holidays bring? Of course not. But, we should be careful about the fine line we walk….The point is to use the monumental celebration of Easter to show our children a different kind of joy--one that comes from knowing Christ and experiencing the “new life” he brings to each one of us who trust in Him.…
As parents, we are prone to weariness. You are tired of cleaning up every evening, you are exhausted of asking your teenagers to do the same chores, you are weary of having to have yet another conversation with a teacher because of your child’s disruption in class. On top of all of that you are trying to point your children back to Jesus.…
In this week's episode Ally and Thad spend some time discussing the Foundations Parenting Conference, what they learned, and how we can find hope in parenting.
Parents have a huge influence in their child’s life! There are few things more influential and powerful than a parent’s words. Words have so much significance.
We show our children obedience is not about rules for rules’ sake; it’s about relationship. And as we forge that relationship with them in the context of joy and discipline, we pave the way for their relationship to God.
Today on the podcast, we interviewed Marian Wandell. Marian is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. She currently works at Revision Christian Counseling where she is the primary child and family therapist. Marian has a passion to help children and their families connect and process trauma and behavioral concerns. She strongly believes that true healing in a child’s life begins with the family. She is a wife to Rusty and a mom to 4-year-old Corey.…
Everybody communications through behavior. A baby might cry when they are hungry or wet - an adult may yawn when they’re bored at work or in a meeting. All people are communicating something through their behavior every moment of the day, even if they’re unaware. When we think about this in relation to parenting, the insight is really powerful. A child or teen’s problematic or inappropriate behavior is saying something to us as parents and caregivers. There is always a reason for a specific behavior.…
We’ve determined that communication is a two way street. We know that part of communication is being able to speak well - to be able to string together our thoughts and feelings in words that make sense; or in our parenting, the ability to give instructions or guidance well. But we know the other piece of communication has to do with what happens when we stop speaking - it has to do with listening.…
We all have an emotional tank. Maybe you’ve heard how everyone has a bucket and that you should “be a bucket filler.” Coming from a set of children’s books, “ Have you filled a bucket today?, How Full is your bucket? And Fill a Bucket” - the concept is that everyone walks around day after day with an invisible bucket above their heads. Throughout the day, their buckets can be filled or emptied based upon the things that have happened to them. Someone says nice words to them - that adds to their bucket. Mean words are bucket emptiers. As you fill someone else’s bucket, yours gets filled as well. It’s hard to fill others buckets when yours is empty and having an empty bucket in general is a struggle. This concept teaches kindness and love but also that your actions not only affect yourself but those around you.…
We want to be the ones who help shape what our teens see and believe about the world around them and who God is. So it’s important that we are able to communicate well with our teens. So what does it look like to have healthy communication with our teens? How do we talk to our teens when they don’t want to talk to us?…
God has placed us in an authority position over our kids and teens so that we may instruct them in His ways. In order for us to be able to fulfill that calling, good communication with our children is essential.
As we finish out 2020, a hard year for most of us, and we look to the future - many of us are spending time reflecting and thinking about the things to come. A common practice at the start of any new year is a “New Year’s Resolution” - it’s a tradition in which a person resolves to continue good practices, change an undesired trait or behavior, set out to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life.…
Maybe this year’s Christmas looks different than years past. Maybe you won’t be celebrating with the whole family - maybe some can’t travel or you want to be sure you don’t get anyone sick. Maybe the presents under the tree are fewer. Perhaps the traditions you’ve always done can’t happen this year. And while that’s hard and challenging (I won’t gloss over the fact that that is hard and something to grieve)... we know that, as followers of Christ, that all those extras don’t really matter - they aren’t the reason we celebrate - we can still have an enjoyable Christmas because of Jesus.…
Generosity is meant to be a hallmark of our faith. The gospel is a story of God’s generosity to mankind (John 3:16). God gave His Only Son. We live in a world of consumerism, materialism, narcissism. When we are generous, we demonstrate a love that causes others to pause. Why would you do something like that for me? Through our generosity, we can prepare hearts to receive the good news.…
Throughout these last 9 months, you’ve likely had a million emotions - anxiety, worry, depression, happiness, joy, frustration, impatience, the list goes on and on. Throughout all of that - you’ve been caring for and schooling your kids and teens constantly, likely without the same amount of support as pre-COVID. In today’s podcast, we want to urge you to take time to care for yourself during this season as well.…
“In a culture that uses this season to get children to dream about how their lives would be made better by possessing a certain material thing, where Christmas has been reduced to a shopper’s nightmare and a retailer’s dream, it is vital to draw the wonder of our children away from the next great toy and toward the wonder of the coming of our great Lord and Savior, Jesus.” - Paul David Tripp…
Your goal is not just to feed them from the Word of God, but to teach them how to feed themselves. You are training them not to need you, but recognizing how they will always desperately need God. One of the hard parts of being a parent is that you are raising your children to not need you.
This is an exciting episode. We’re going to share with you the things that we wish you knew. Parents, we’re talking directly to you. Here are the top 10 things we wish you knew coming from your children’s minister and youth pastor.
How do I teach my children to pray? Teach prayer as a conversation with God – one that shows respect for who He is but that is spoken in our own words. God wants to be close to them and have an intimate relationship with them. In conversations with people – we listen and talk. The same is true with prayer – we both listen to God and talk to Him.…
With all the needs of children - physical, emotional, etc. it can be easy to wonder if prayer is actually their greatest need. This is a misunderstanding. As parents, we fall into the trap of believing that we are the ones providing food, clothing and shelter. We believe we are the ones giving them the love and care they need, helping them to build good character, teaching them spiritual truths. While God often chooses to use us as a vehicle for these needs, it is always God who provides these things for our children and it is God who moves their hearts.…
The best place for a kid to learn about God is with his or her parents. Discipleship in the everyday moments looks like capturing and leveraging opportunities in the course of everyday life for the purpose of conversations about truth. The time we spend with our children are unique and special opportunities that you will NOT get back. Moments in time are valuable because they are nonrenewable.…
