Customer Reviews
Excellent resource!
I am a family physician in rural WV and the topics and guests do a great job of keeping me informed of what is going on in the world and our nation and as a Christian, how I can and should respond.
Excellent essential podcast for the Christian physician
This podcast provides light, hope and sound science to encourage Christian healthcare workers. It is one of a kind and ESSENTIAL for Christian doctors who feel they are in no man’s land currently as they don’t fit in with secular medicine culture and are also existing outside the all too often anti-science stance of evangelical Christians.
Passing Down Truth
Loved the 9/30/21 podcast about leaving a spiritual legacy for your children. My father is a physician and he and my mother definitely have done that and my wife and I are looking to do the same for our children.
