Can miracles and scientific research coexist, or has modern medicine ignored one of the most powerful forces behind healing?

In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with theologian and researcher Dr. Jon Ruthven, PhD to explore the scientific investigation of Christian healing, demonic oppression, and spiritual authority. Drawing from decades of academic work and doctoral research at United Theological Seminary, Dr. Ruthven explains how structured research into prayer and spiritual deliverance produced surprising clinical outcomes, including an 85 percent recovery rate from PTSD through spiritual intervention.

This conversation dives into the intersection of faith, science, trauma, spiritual warfare, and physical disease. Dr. Ruthven explains why the healing ministry described in the New Testament may be central to the original mission of Jesus, and why rediscovering this dimension could radically change how we approach disease, trauma, and human suffering.
