Ben Edwards - I was born and raised in Belton, Texas. I grew up watching both of my granddads practice “old school” country doctoring. They were general practitioners who might be found doing anything from delivering a baby, to amputating a leg, to sitting for an entire hour counseling a crying patient. Early on, I knew that I wanted to be that kind of doctor, one who took care of the entire family from cradle to grave. I wanted to work with the whole body and the whole family.
I received my undergraduate degree from Baylor University, and later graduated from UT-Houston Medical School. Then my wife, Jamie, and I moved to Waco to complete my training at the Waco Family Practice Residency Program where I was Chief Resident. After graduation, the Lord directed us to West Texas and the Garza County Health Clinic in Post, TX.
Then, I had a divine appointment that would change the course of my life. Through witnessing an “incurable” disease get fully reversed in my nurse practitioner, I was introduced to an area of medicine I had never been taught. It was time for me to move on to what the Lord designed me to be - a physician who treats the whole patient - mind, body, and spirit.

Dr. Ben Edwards grew up in a family of highly respected doctors, including two grandparents, two uncles, and his great grandfather. Following the birth of their first child, he and his wife faced 24 months of infertility which God used to open their eyes to what it meant to “seek first the kingdom of God.” This led to their hearts opening to alternative medicine after witnessing his nurse practitioner's healing from an "incurable" condition. This experience launched Ben into a season of deep discovery that resulted in a profound shift not only in his walk with God, but also in his medical practice. Today, he assists patients in miraculously recovering from conditions that mainstream medicine can only offer symptomatic relief for. Ultimately, seeking first the kingdom of God has brought incredible freedom to both him and his patients.
