Saving Lives Through Sales: My Keynote with Advanced Sterilization Products
What a powerful experience it was to speak to the incredible sales team at Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) on January 29, 2025. ASP is an industry leader committed to infection prevention, and I had the honor of delivering a keynote that dug deeper than profit margins and quotas—it was about purpose, people, and patient safety.
My keynote, “Empowering Health Equity: The Transformative Role of Sterilization Sales Teams,” focused on how sales professionals play a vital role in reducing infection rates, particularly in hospitals that serve vulnerable populations. I shared stories from my childhood receiving care in underserved public hospitals—and contrasted them with the critical consequences of poor infection prevention I’ve witnessed in my medical career. One story that particularly moved the audience was about a young mother whose life was forever altered by an infection that could have been prevented.
I reminded the audience that health equity doesn’t start in the operating room—it starts with the people who provide the tools that make safe surgeries possible. Whether you’re a sales rep or a technician, you are part of a life-saving ecosystem. Every product sold is an opportunity to uplift healthcare workers, protect patients, and rebuild trust in healthcare systems that have historically underserved marginalized communities.
We explored powerful data, including how health care-associated infections are significantly higher in minority-serving hospitals, and how DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) isn’t just a moral imperative—it’s a business one. I encouraged ASP’s team to not just be sellers of equipment, but champions of health equity and advocates for the invisible heroes in sterilization departments—often overlooked but essential workers.
My challenge to them was this: “What will you do differently tomorrow? Will you see a sale as just a sale—or as the chance to save a life?”
It was an energizing, purpose-driven session, and I left inspired by the passion in the room. Sales is more than a transaction—it’s a transformation. And I’m proud to have been part of this transformative moment with ASP.
Finding Joy in the Winter of Life – Highlights from the Lake County Joy Summit
January can be heavy—short days, cold weather, and a general sense of fatigue settle over many of us. But on January 25, 2025, something extraordinary happened at the Zion-Benton Township High School. The Inaugural Lake County Annual Joy Summit brought a burst of light and warmth to the community. I had the incredible honor of being one of three keynote speakers, positioned right in the heart of the event, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of powerful.
My keynote, titled “Not Just Surviving but Living and Thriving,” was an honest, heartfelt journey through the trials and triumphs that have shaped my life. I shared how my childhood passion for healing eventually led me to a career in medicine—and how life threw me curveballs I never expected: a breast cancer diagnosis, a life-threatening heart condition, and the loss of my beloved mother. Yet, through it all, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t just about getting through the storm—it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
I recounted my transformation from physician to patient, from despair to purpose. I reflected on my mother’s courage, my cancer battle, my lymphedema diagnosis, and the creation of the LIVE Today Foundation, all woven together by a deep desire to help others find strength in their own stories.
I left the audience with this message: You don’t have to have perfect circumstances to experience joy. Joy is an inside job. And even when life knocks you down, you have the power to rise, to LIVE—Love yourself and others, Inspire those around you, Voice your dreams and ambitions, and Enjoy life.
If you were there, I hope you felt the power of purpose, resilience, and joy. And if you missed it—don’t worry. This is just the beginning of something beautiful. Stay tuned for more ways to LIVE and THRIVE in 2025!
A Journey of Hope and Transformation: Our Mission in Pakistan

transformation to communities across the globe. Our recent outreach in Pakistan is a
powerful testament to this vision. Over the course of several nights, we witnessed
firsthand the life-changing power of faith as thousands of individuals received not only
spiritual salvation but also physical healing and care. From the first night of services to
the consecration of spiritual leaders, this journey was nothing short of miraculous.
In this blog post, we invite you to experience the highlights of our time in Pakistan. Each
night brought something new and powerful, and we are excited to share these moments
with you through the videos captured by our media team.

First Night of Services: 8 Cities, 13 Services, Lives Transformed
Our journey began with an extraordinary first night of services, spanning 8 cities and
delivering 13 services. From the outset, it was clear that this would be a mission like no
other. Thousands gathered to worship, pray, and seek healing—not just spiritually, but
physically as well.
This night was filled with profound moments of transformation as lives were touched
and chains were broken. Our commitment extended beyond the spiritual realm, with
free medical camps set up to provide vital healthcare to those in need. It was a night
where the power of faith met tangible action, and countless testimonies of healing and
salvation were shared.
Key moments from the first night:
– Services held in 8 cities across Pakistan.
– Free medical camps providing essential healthcare.
– Testimonies of healing, salvation, and lives changed.

Second Night of Services: Breaking Chains and Restoring Hope
The second night was another unforgettable milestone in our mission. We ministered to
people caught in the vicious cycle of indentured servitude, delivering a message of hope
and freedom that resonated deeply with the community. As people heard the gospel and
received prayer, testimonies of healing and salvation echoed throughout the night.
In addition to spiritual nourishment, we ensured the community was physically cared
for by providing food and other necessities. It was a night of restoration, both inside and
out, and a powerful reminder that no matter how bleak a situation may seem, freedom
through Christ is always within reach.
Key moments from the second night:
– A message of freedom for those trapped in indentured servitude.
– Powerful testimonies of healing and salvation.
– Physical nourishment provided alongside spiritual care.

Third Night of Services: Consecrating Leaders for Kingdom Ministry
The third night of services was perhaps the most spiritually significant. On this night,
seven pastors and five evangelists were consecrated into Kingdom ministry, marking a
new chapter for the church in Pakistan. Supt. Carl A. Davis delivered a stirring message
that set the tone for this holy moment of dedication and leadership.
The vesper service was unlike anything many in the community had experienced before.
This night was not only about anointing new leaders but about empowering a generation
of pastors and evangelists who will carry the message of Christ forward. The service was
filled with a palpable sense of God’s presence as these new leaders took their place in the
Kingdom’s work.
Key moments from the third night:
– Consecration of 7 pastors and 5 evangelists.
– A powerful sermon by Supt. Carl A. Davis.
– A vesper service marking a new spiritual chapter for Pakistan.

The Impact of Faith in Action
Throughout our time in Pakistan, we saw the undeniable impact that faith in action can
have on communities. Whether it was through the salvation of souls, physical healing, or
the consecration of spiritual leaders, each night reinforced the power of the gospel to
transform lives. Our mission does not end here—there is still much work to be done. We
are committed to continuing our outreach, both spiritually and physically, to those who
need it most.
We invite you to share in this journey by watching the videos from each night of
services. Together, we can celebrate the victories, reflect on the miracles, and remain
inspired to continue spreading hope and healing across the world.
Conclusion:
Our mission in Pakistan was a powerful reminder of the work that remains to be done in
spreading the gospel and serving communities in need. From healing the sick to
consecrating new spiritual leaders, every night brought a new dimension to our
ministry. As we move forward, we ask for your continued prayers and support as we
strive to bring light to the darkest places and hope to the hopeless.
Join us on this mission, and let’s continue making a difference, one life at a time.
