For most physicians, the hospital room and the place of worship have always been kept carefully apart. Science belongs in one. Faith belongs in the other. And that boundary has quietly shaped how doctors are trained, how they speak to patients, and what they feel permitted to bring into the room.But what happens when a physician begins to question that separation?There are patients whose pain has no clean medical answer. Families carrying wounds that no prescription will touch. Moments in the exam room where the most honest thing a doctor can say is that what this person needs goes beyond what medicine can offer.For physicians of faith, those moments raise a question that medical school rarely prepares them for: what do you do with what you believe, when the patient in front of you may need exactly that?To explore that question, I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer Suh, board-certified pediatrician, fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and ordained pastor. Together, we talk about what it looks like to bring faith into clinical practice honestly and practically, why the fear of being seen as the "crazy doctor" so often lives more in the physician than in the patient, and what she has found when she stopped leaving Jesus outside the door.Together, we explore:Why science and faith are so often treated as belonging in different rooms, and why that framing may be incompleteWhat the research actually shows about spirituality as a social determinant of healthHow a physician begins to incorporate prayer, spiritual assessment, and faith into patient care in a way that is compassionate, grounded, and patient-ledWhy the fear of being seen as the "crazy doctor" often lives more in the physician than in the patientWhat it means to invite God into the room and the story of a teenager whose walls came down in ten minutes because a doctor was simply obedientHow forgiveness, spiritual brokenness, and the feeling of being abandoned by God connect directly to physical and mental health outcomesWhat it looks like to be faith-based rather than fear-based in a medical system built almost entirely on fearIf you are a clinician wrestling with how to bring your faith into your practice, or a person of faith who has ever sensed that healing requires more than medicine can reach, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.Learn More About My Soon-to-Launch Telemedicine Platform Exciting news—my virtual medical platform is launching soon!

by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® Dr. Mike Chupp is joined by three members of the American College of Family Medicine (ACFM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Hippocratic Family Medicine.

Topics include conscience protections, physician advocacy, medical education, and efforts to preserve evidence-based patient care, as well as why engagement within the profession, rather than withdrawal, is the most effective way to influence the future of family medicine and support physicians whose values have often gone unrepresented.

by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® Pornography is one of the most pervasive and least discussed struggles in the church today — and healthcare professionals are far from immune.

Dr. Staab shares why those in the healing professions are uniquely vulnerable to hidden struggles, what he’s actually seeing among students and trainees, why common approaches like informal accountability groups often fall short, and what real transformation looks like when someone finally brings their struggle into the light. If you or someone you know is wrestling silently, this conversation is a place to start.
