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.

Wellness for Clinicians 2: Rhythms that Enliven | #81

In this rich and deeply practical conversation, Dr. Jennifer Kang sits down with Dr. Susie Hunt—former GP turned hospital chaplain and founder of Doctors for Doctors—to explore what clinician wellness actually looks like when it’s rooted in abiding with Jesus. From “starting your day in the evening” with surrendered sleep, to putting on “the undergarment of truth” before touching your phone, to practicing restorative micro-pauses in the middle of hospital chaos, this episode is filled with rhythms that feel both holy and doable. Susie shares vulnerably from her own recent burnout, offering tools for navigating guilt, cultivating conviction instead of shame, and becoming a “ripe avocado”—soft-hearted yet thick-skinned. There’s a beautiful integration of Scripture, neuroscience, habit formation, and Spirit-led living that speaks directly to the exhausted clinician who loves God but feels stuck on the merry-go-round. This conversation doesn’t offer hype or hustle; it offers trellis, bread, song, surrender, and practical rhythms that make abiding possible in real life. If you’re in healthcare and longing to feel connected, steady, and alive again, this episode will feel like water to your soul.

Science Encounters Miracles | #80

In this episode of the Restore Healthcare Project, Dr. Jennifer Kang interviews neuroscientist Dr. Joshua Brown about the moment his life changed forever—a sudden seizure that led to a presumed terminal brain tumor diagnosis at age 30, just as he became a father. What unfolds is a story of his remarkable journey of costly hope, global travels to healing meetings, unexpected recoveries, and a rigorous scientific investigation into miracles. Dr. Brown shares how his own experience with healing reshaped his research focus, eventually leading to the formation of the Global Medical Research Institute and published clinical trials examining the measurable effects of prayer on pain and anxiety. This conversation thoughtfully navigates medical integrity, academic honesty, and deep faith, offering a compelling vision of what it looks like to pursue evidence-based medicine without dismissing the power of prayer. Whether you’re a clinician, scientist, or believer longing to see faith and healthcare restored together, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
