Description

In this episode, we sit down with Charlie Barnes, CEO of Barnes Healthcare, to talk about leading a multi-generational family business with a simple but powerful heartbeat: “We take care of people.” You’ll hear how faith shapes leadership when it’s more than a slogan—when prayer, Scripture, and service show up in the everyday decisions that affect real families.

But this conversation goes deeper. Charlie speaks honestly about healing and growth, the hard work of building healthy teams, and what happens when people resist the uncomfortable process of change. And as he looks ahead, he pulls back the curtain on a broken healthcare system—high costs, inefficiencies, and medication challenges—while sharing a hopeful vision for the future rooted in relationships, community, and strategic partnerships. If you care about faith, leadership, and what healthcare could become, you’re going to want to hear this.
