Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the NIH and Acting Director of the CDC, joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for a conversation on faith, science, and public health. As confidence in healthcare institutions has declined in recent years, Dr. Bhattacharya reflects on the cultural pressures that have shaped scientific discourse, from silenced debate to the challenges of pursuing honest inquiry. He shares his perspective on NIH funding priorities, lessons from COVID, vaccine science, and the ethical complexities surrounding gender medicine, along with how his faith in Christ shapes both his convictions and his leadership. This is a meaningful episode for anyone seeking to pursue truth with integrity and lead with courage in service to others, while remembering we ultimately answer to God alone.

Part 1 – IVF, Infertility, and Moral Limits with Dr. Kristin Collier

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:32:11 +0000

Dr. Kristin Collier joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for part one of a two-part conversation on IVF and assisted reproductive technologies, an issue that touches real marriages, real longing, and often deep heartbreak. The desire for children is good and God-given, yet the technologies designed to help can raise significant ethical questions for Christian families and healthcare professionals. In this episode, Dr. Collier, Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan and a leading voice on human dignity at the margins of life, helps us explore why being “pro-baby” cannot mean “by any means necessary.” Grounded in the imago Dei, we consider what’s often overlooked in the IVF process, including embryo loss, freezing, genetic screening, and the broader moral framework shaping modern reproductive medicine.

In this special episode, we revisit a powerful plenary message from John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and host of Breakpoint, originally delivered at CMDA’s National Convention several years ago.

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 09:29:10 +0000

Faith in Healthcare host, Dr. Mike Chupp, is joined by Dr. Michael Egnor, a neurosurgeon, professor, and residency program director at Stony Brook University, for an incredible conversation on neuroscience, philosophy, and Christian faith. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and his own journey from atheism and materialism to faith in Christ, Dr. Egnor explores whether the human mind can be fully explained by the brain alone. Sharing real-world evidence from brain surgeries, clinical experiments, neurological cases, and patients’ near-death experiences – and insights from his book The Immortal Mind – this episode challenges reductionist views of consciousness and invites listeners to consider what it truly means to care for patients as whole persons, created with body and soul by our Creator.

On the Shoulders of Giants: A Christmas Reflection with Dr. David Stevens

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 09:30:51 +0000

In this special Christmas episode of Faith in Healthcare, Dr. Mike Chupp reflects on God’s faithfulness as CMDA nears its 100th year, before we listen to a message from former CMDA CEO Dr. Dave Stevens. He shares how a small group of praying medical students grew into CMDA and a global ministry through seasons of obedience, challenge, and God’s unmistakable guidance. More than a history lesson, this episode is a reminder that God delights in using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary purposes for His Kingdom. As we celebrate the birth of Christ, we’re invited to remember that the same God who has been at work through CMDA for decades is still at work today in healthcare and in each of our lives.

Dr. Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood clinic director and now founder of And Then There Were None and ProLove Ministries, joins Faith in Healthcare host Dr. Mike Chupp and guest co-host Dr. Brick Lantz to share behind-the-scenes of the abortion industry. Abby reflects on the moment that shook her to the core – a 13-week-old baby struggling for life on an ultrasound screen – and how it opened her eyes to the pressures, secrecy, quotas, and profound emotional and spiritual burdens carried by workers in the abortion industry. She also shares about her upcoming documentary Unthinkable and explains why she believes the most effective outreach to women in crisis is shifting to the digital “sidewalks” of social media. With more than 700 abortion workers helped to leave the industry and a journey that inspired the book and film Unplanned, Abby brings a difficult but ultimately hope-filled testimony of redemption and calling.

Dr. David Thompson joins host, Dr. Mike Chupp, for a powerful conversation tracing his journey from war-torn Cambodia to the remote jungles of Gabon, where a simple conviction that Africa needed its own surgeons grew into one of the most transformative medical mission movements of our time. In this episode, Dr. Thompson shares how God’s faithfulness carried him through danger, loss, and the unknown, ultimately leading to a vision that is reshaping surgical training across the continent.

Dr. Andre Mickel joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and co-host Dr. Bill Griffin for a conversation about what it means to boldly follow Jesus in one of the most secular corners of healthcare: academia. Dr. Mickel shares how God turned his residency program at Case Western into a mission field, where students from multiple continents hear the gospel, anxious patients are prayed with, and servant leadership shapes every day of training. He opens up about the Holy Spirit’s prompting in conversations with residents, the moment his boldness nearly cost him a promotion, and why compassion and courage matter in healthcare.

They explore what often lies beneath requests for assisted death, how euphemisms cloud moral clarity, and what truly distinguishes faithful end-of-life care from physician-caused death.

Dr. Scott Southard joins Dr. Mike Chupp to share the remarkable story behind In Jesus’ Name Medical Ministry – a church-based model that unites physicians, nurses, and churches to provide free, faith-filled care to those in need. What began with a single prayer and a donated mobile coach has grown into a thriving network of clinics where healthcare professionals serve together in Christ’s name. Dr. Southard recounts powerful moments of healing – from a child walking after surgery to a deaf grandmother regaining her ability to sign – showing how compassionate care in Jesus’ name opens hearts to hope and spiritual healing.

Life, Death, and the Hope of Christ: Dr. Gary Ott on the Ethics of Organ Donation

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 08:32:10 +0000

This week’s episode is a special cross-over with CMDA’s Voice of Advocacy podcast, hosted by Dr. Brick Lantz, CMDA’s Vice President of Advocacy and Bioethics. Joined by Dr. Gary Ott, a renowned cardiac transplant surgeon at Providence Heart and Vascular Clinic, they explore the ethical boundaries of life, death, and medical innovation – examining how we define death in the ICU era, the differences between brain death and donation after circulatory death (DCD), and how emerging technologies like “heart-in-a-box” systems and normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) are reshaping transplant medicine. With decades of experience and deep faith, Dr. Ott challenges us to uphold the sanctity of life and reflects on the Gospel image at the heart of transplantation – one life given so another may live.

Fresh from his return from Cairo, host Dr. Mike Chupp shares reflections from his time at the Doctors with a Mission Conference and the powerful ways God is moving among healthcare professionals in Egypt. While in Cairo, Dr. Chupp sat down with Dr. Greta Gamal, a pediatric specialist and Director of Operations for the Christian Medical Fellowship in Egypt, who is leading teams that bring physical, emotional, and spiritual care to underserved communities across Egypt and the Gulf.

Belonging, Calling, and Virtue: Dr. Ted Hamilton & Dr. Carla Park on What Protects Healthcare Professionals from Burnout

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 08:30:46 +0000

In this episode, we’re joined by two leaders from AdventHealth who have spent decades thinking deeply about the well-being of healthcare professionals: Dr. Ted Hamilton, family physician, longtime mission executive, and national voice on clinician well-being; and Dr. Carla Park, Vice President of Whole-Person Care, Education & Integration. Together, they led a new peer-reviewed study of CMDA members published in the journal, Religions 2025, that revealed something striking: Christian healthcare professionals reported significantly lower burnout than the broader healthcare population, and three factors tended to rise and fall together in those who were thriving: belonging, calling, and virtue. Through practical insights and personal stories, Drs. Hamilton and Park highlight how faith not only sustains healthcare professionals but also equips them to lead and care more deeply for their patients, colleagues, and themselves.

Grant Hewitt on “Cut Flower Medicine”: Recovering Healthcare’s Christian Roots

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 12:01:25 +0000

In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, Grant Hewitt, CMDA’s Southern Director, unpacks the powerful metaphor of “cut flower medicine”—a picture of modern healthcare severed from its Christian roots. From the influence of early Christians who pioneered hospitals, to chilling lessons from Nazi doctors, Grant challenges us to consider: What happens when medicine loses its moral foundation? Joined by Rev. Bill Reichert and host Dr. Mike Chupp, this conversation explores: • The Christian origins of hospitals and compassionate care • Why secular healthcare struggles to sustain true human dignity • Disturbing parallels between Nazi medical ideology and today’s ethical debates • How Christian students and professionals can stand firm in a spiritually dark culture • The importance of community chapters and mentoring for lasting impact Whether you’re a student, professional, or simply care about faith and medicine, this discussion will inspire you to reclaim the roots of healthcare that honor Christ and uphold the value of every human life. #FaithInHealthcare #ChristianDoctors #MedicalEthics #CutFlowerMedicine #CMDA

Is There a Place for Me? Finding Your Role in Global Health Outreach with Dr. Andy Lamb & Dr. Trish Burgess

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 08:30:24 +0000

Dr. Trish Burgess, CMDA’s Director of Global Health Outreach, and Dr. Andy Lamb, an internist, Army veteran, and longtime GHO team leader who recently reached the milestone of 50 mission trips, join host Dr. Mike Chupp. Andy shares how one trip to Guatemala reoriented his motives for serving, how praying with patients became part of his daily practice, and how years of overseas ministry softened a soldier-turned-internist into a more tender dad and mentor. Trish reflects on how GHO has matured over the years, strengthening logistics, pharmacy systems, and team leader preparation, so that healthcare professionals can focus on discipling teams and caring for patients. Whether you’re considering your first mission trip or wondering how to serve more effectively, this episode offers encouragement and practical next steps.

Living Unashamed: World-Renowned Chemist Dr. James Tour on Faith, Innovation, and Courage

Dr. James Tour, one of the world’s leading nanotechnologists and a bold follower of Christ, joins Faith in Healthcare host Dr. Mike Chupp for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of faith and science. A renowned synthetic organic chemist at Rice University, Dr. Tour has authored more than 800 publications, holds over 140 patents, and launched multiple startups. His pioneering work stretches from “flash graphene” that converts trash into valuable carbon and hydrogen fuel, to groundbreaking approaches in cancer treatment and guiding nerve regrowth after spinal cord injury.

Yet beyond the lab, Dr. Tour’s daily rhythm of Scripture and prayer over the past 47 years has fueled both his creativity and courage. In this episode, he shares how his walk with Christ shapes discovery, why the resurrection remains central to his witness, and his challenge to the next generation of academics and healthcare professionals to live and speak for Christ, even in environments that resist it, and even when it costs.

Honoring Dr. James Dobson: A Legacy of Faith, Family, and Courage

Christian Medical & Dental Associations® (CMDA) — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 08:30:31 +0000

This week’s episode is a special tribute to Dr. James Dobson, whose recent passing marks the loss of a man who shaped generations of families and believers. A child psychologist by training, Dr. Dobson rose to national influence through bestselling books, Focus on the Family, and later Family Talk and the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. His legacy in Christian radio, cultural engagement, and defense of the family continues to endure. In honor of his impact, we’re returning to our very first podcast episode from January 2020 under the name CMDA Matters, where Dr. Dobson joined us as the inaugural guest. In this conversation, he speaks with honesty and conviction about family, faith, cultural pressures, and the courage needed to uphold biblical values in the public square.
