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.

Dr. Katie McCoy, author of To Be a Woman joins the CMDA Student Pulse podcast to unpack the gender confusion reshaping medicine and culture. From the landmark $2 million Varian verdict to the AMA and plastic surgeons now calling for surgical restraint on minors, Katie connects this week's headlines to the deeper questions every Christian medical and dental trainee is facing: What does it mean that our bodies bear the image of God? How do we hold biblical conviction and genuine compassion together in a clinical setting? And is the tide finally turning? This conversation will equip you to think clearly, care deeply, and practice courageously.

Bill Reichart discusses the Value of Lent which invites us to enter Christ’s wilderness (suffering) voluntarily through fasting, prayer, and giving—so that when the uninvited wilderness (suffering) arrives, we have practiced meeting Jesus there.

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. John challenges us to look beyond cultural headlines and political debates to a deeper, more personal question: not simply what Christ has saved us from, or even what He has saved us to, but what He has saved us for. Speaking directly to Christian healthcare professionals navigating a shifting cultural landscape, he calls us to live with courage and faithfulness in every sphere of influence.

Mike Chupp, MD shares about keeping our focus on God by developing a "new set of eyes" that enable us to be looking at God while our outward eyes are seeing the scenes of this passing world.

Host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz put together a special Q&A episode that steps away from the usual interview format to engage directly with the real questions CMDA members are asking. Drawing from ongoing advocacy and ethics conversations, as well as dialogue emerging through The Point of Medicine, they walk through practical, on-the-ground scenarios Christian healthcare professionals are facing today, from conscience protections and difficult clinical decisions to mentoring, grief, identity, and when (and how) to pray with patients. This conversation centers on what it looks like to speak truth with compassion while caring well for every person entrusted to us.

In a world that measures success by accumulation, how do we measure a life well-lived? Join host Bill Reichart on this episode of the CMDA Student Pulse podcast as he sits down with Dr. Nicholas Comninellis, founder of the Institute for International Medicine (INMED) and author of Five Bags of Gold. Dr. Comninellis challenges future healthcare professionals to look beyond the paycheck and see their skills as a divine trust. Drawing from his experiences in Angola, Shanghai, and inner-city America, he unpacks a modern retelling of the Parable of the Talents, forcing us to ask: Are we burying our gifts, or are we investing them for an eternal return? Tune in for a compelling conversation on finding your unique calling and making your medical career count for the Kingdom.
