Teaching Whole-Person Care | #86

Teaching Whole-Person Care | #86

In this episode of the Restore Healthcare Project, we're sharing Dr. Amy Hayton's InspireX talk from the Restore 2026 Conference—a message that cuts straight to the heart of what it means to be formed as a healer. Through the unforgettable story of a fourth-year medical student named Peter, who brought the presence of God into a tense pediatric ICU room when every test failed and a mother had lost all hope, Dr. Hayton explores what becomes possible when we stop confusing performance with calling and start welcoming the Holy Spirit as teacher, guide, and transformer in our work. This InspireX talk wrestles with the deeper questions so many in healthcare are asking: how do we remain whole while serving brokenness every day, and what if our workplaces became sacred ground where mentorship turns into discipleship? If you've been running on empty while carrying everyone else, this episode will meet you right where you are and leave you believing that the future of healthcare belongs to healed healers.

Toolbox of a Medical Educator | #85

At the Restore 2026 Conference, Dr. Lysa Owen took the stage for an InspireX Talk that feels like grabbing coffee with a wise friend who's been in the trenches of both medicine and faith. In this episode, the Northern Ireland clinician and educator unpacks a transformative four-step apology framework—born not just from parenting toddlers but from a humbling, real-life professional conflict where a colleague bravely called her out—showing how saying sorry well can become a relational superpower that changes everything. She then gives us a peek into her newest vision: an interprofessional chronic pain café launching in a local shopping center, where medical, physiotherapy, and pharmacy students will learn to care for the underserved while her church community quietly offers prayer, hospitality, and counseling just across the corridor. Lysa's vulnerability and practical wisdom make this one of those talks you'll want to revisit whenever you need reminding that your faith and your profession don't have to live in separate rooms.

Is Healing Prayer a Placebo? | #84

In this episode, Dr. Josh Brown, a Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University and author of Proving A Miracle, makes a compelling case that as Christians in healthcare, we owe the world a higher standard of evidence—not less. Rather than simply asking people to take testimonies at face value, he argues that we have both the tools and the responsibility to document healing prayer with the same rigor we apply to any clinical intervention. Drawing from the centuries-old Lambertini criteria used by the Catholic Church to verify miracles, he walks us through what it actually takes to rule out natural explanations, placebo effects, and spontaneous remission. The conversation lands on a powerful tension: inside the church, testimonies need to be safe and honored; outside the church, they need to withstand honest scrutiny. Dr. Brown believes we can hold both, and that doing so doesn't weaken our witness—it sharpens it. For anyone navigating the intersection of science, faith, and the practice of medicine, this episode offers a framework for speaking with authority in the public square without losing credibility or compromising conviction.

Strike Again! | #83

In this InspireX talk from Restore Conference 2026, Dr. Desiree Yeboah shares a powerful testimony of faith and perseverance after failing her pediatric board exams twice and choosing to apply for fellowship before knowing whether she would pass on her third attempt. Drawing from the story of King Jehoash striking the ground only three times in 2 Kings 13, she challenges healthcare professionals to consider where they may have stopped short, settled for less, or lowered their expectations for what God can do. With honesty and vulnerability, she reflects on the disappointment, fear, and discouragement that can come from stepping out in faith while not seeing immediate breakthrough. For anyone who has grown weary, struggled to keep believing for miracles, or felt the tension of following Jesus in a secular healthcare environment, this message is a compelling invitation to keep striking, keep trusting, and keep expecting God to move.

Yoga, Uniting with the gods | #82

In this episode of the Restore Healthcare Project, Dr. Jennifer Kang sits down with Harvard-trained religious studies scholar Dr. Candy Gunther Brown for a thoughtful and deeply researched conversation that may reshape the way listeners view yoga and its place in modern healthcare. Together they explore the historical and spiritual roots of yoga, unpacking how a practice often presented as “just stretching” carries an embodied spiritual framework that can gradually influence beliefs and identity over time. From sun salutations and kundalini to the question of Christian yoga, Pilates, and informed consent in medical practice, this dialogue invites believers—especially those in healthcare—to examine not only physical outcomes, but the deeper spiritual fruit of what they practice and recommend. With clarity and grace, this episode offers a compelling call to discernment and biblical grounding around embodiment, worship, and what true healing truly means.
