Restore Healthcare Project

Dr. Jennifer Kang

Restore Healthcare Project is a bold podcast targeting licensed healthcare professionals, presenting hopeful and innovative ideas to challenge current ideas of what makes good healthcare. This podcast highlights some essential elements that have degraded in modern healthcare as the presence and power of God has been pushed aside. We also uplift and celebrate the brilliant advances of science and technology that have broken through millennia of human suffering with life-sustaining discoveries. The podcast aims to propose and defend the claim that God is still present and vitally involved in responding to the needs and brokenness of humanity, evidenced in the beautiful work of healing professionals. These conversations propose solutions for health professionals to crisis-level needs such as compassion fatigue, clinician resilience, bioethics dilemmas, resource deficits, and mindset corruption. They also provide a source of hope through the real-life storytelling and honest vulnerability of active healthcare clinicians finding their way toward their patients and toward greater freedom from disease and despair. Clinicians relate their journeys from dreaming of their destiny, to floundering in the realities of our broken healthcare systems, and onward to the wisdom they have uncovered that saved their dreams and fuels their compassion. Ours are the stories that are not being told in the mainstream doomsday narratives about healthcare, but they are the stories that have the power to draw, transform, and sustain a new movement of paradigm-shifting, compassion-bursting healthcare innovators. They tell healthcare professionals that their sacrifices are legitimate and sustain them in a holy and fulfilling calling. They point us to a source of strength and drive that cannot be explained through science, and yet which also simultaneously embraces the outlandishly bright expressions of science as the best of God’s heart toward us. Ours are the stories of Hope in healthcare.

    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.

    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.

    Goodness in Healthcare | #79

    In this rich and deeply moving conversation, Dr. Jennifer Kang and Paul Munwaring unpack the often-overlooked fruit of goodness and reveal why it may be one of the most powerful expressions of God’s nature in healthcare today. From the early Christians who courageously cared for plague victims to modern hospital rooms where nurses sit through the night with grieving families, they explore how goodness is not something we strive for—but something we live from as image-bearers of a good God. Paul’s reflections on glory and goodness being inseparable, paired with Jennifer’s unforgettable story of a Rwandan mother who encountered the love of Jesus through simple acts of medical kindness, make this episode both theological and tender. It’s an invitation to see bedside manner as glory, presence as ministry, and everyday excellence as a revelation of heaven. If you’ve ever wrestled with burnout, questioned the value of staying present, or wondered how faith and medicine truly intertwine, this conversation will reframe your perspective and remind you why goodness still changes the world.
