Since the year 2000, almost 1 million drug overdoses have resulted in death.

26% of all arrests in America right now, are the result of drug offenses.

“Well, brother Bob, that’s the illegal side of things. The criminals and such…”

Really???  How about this:  6% of Americans over the age of 12 abuse PRESCRIPTION DRUGS each and every year… that’s over 16 million people!

12% of prescription drug users are addicted… and I’ll have more to say on that in a minute…

82%... 4 out of every 5 prescriptions filled, are for opioids.  Think about that!

Dr. Adena Asatoorian holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and has been a pharmacist for over 20 years. She has provided medication therapy management services and her interventions have truly saved numerous lives. Amen!

Dr. Adena, Pharmacist, is an incorporated name that has it’s sole purpose is to conduct public speaking events regarding “Understanding Drugs.” The mission statement is simple, “Changing lives through the power of Love and understanding drugs.” Amen!

Help me welcome to the program. Dr. Adena Asatoorian – or better known as, “Dr. Adena, Pharmicist!”  Dr. Adena, thank you for taking the time to join us today!

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dr. Adena, Pharmacist?”

Dr. Adena, living with someone who is addicted to drugs, whether legal or illegal, can be challenging. What advice do you give to loved ones in this situation?

How was “letting him hit rock bottom” working out? For him and for you?

Then the Lord interjected something into your life. Can you share how that changed your perspective on things?

You had a few instances where the Lord actually led you straight to him as he was off on his binges, etc. Can you share a little bit about those instances?

Folks, speaking from experience, drug addiction can take many forms. For Pastor Bob, it was because of pain management from my injuries. Thank GOD I was delivered from that. So much so, that when I had my knee replacement surgeries, as you heard, I did not even get the opioid prescriptions filled. God took care of the pain for me. Amen!

But, each person has to come to a place where you can make the decision on your own. My situation is not the same as your situation. Dr. Adena, Pharmacist, is here to help.

Drop down into the show notes. Click the links. Go to her website and take a look at all of the resources she has there. It’s not just for addicts, either!  It is for those loved ones who are trying to help and addict you care about. It’s for YOU!  To give you hope and encouragement as you stand, spiritually as well as physically, praying for and interceding for your loved one. Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
