In this episode, we’re joined by two leaders from AdventHealth who have spent decades thinking deeply about the well-being of healthcare professionals: Dr. Ted Hamilton, family physician, longtime mission executive, and national voice on clinician well-being; and Dr. Carla Park, Vice President of Whole-Person Care, Education & Integration. Together, they led a new peer-reviewed study of CMDA members published in the journal, Religions 2025, that revealed something striking: Christian healthcare professionals reported significantly lower burnout than the broader healthcare population, and three factors tended to rise and fall together in those who were thriving: belonging, calling, and virtue. Through practical insights and personal stories, Drs. Hamilton and Park highlight how faith not only sustains healthcare professionals but also equips them to lead and care more deeply for their patients, colleagues, and themselves.

Grant Hewitt, CMDA’s Southern Regional Director, joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and guest co-host Rev. Bill Reichert, Vice President of Campus & Community Ministries, for a conversation on the Christian roots of healthcare. Grant unpacks the idea of “cut flower medicine,” a vision of modern healthcare severed from its biblical foundation, and why recovering that heritage matters for today’s students, residents, and professionals. From the early church’s role in creating hospitals to the sobering lessons of Nazi doctors, Grant shows how worldviews shape medicine and patient care. Along the way, he shares his own journey of calling, the hope he sees in rising generations, and ways community chapters can provide mentoring and encouragement for Christian healthcare professionals nationwide.

What happens when your calling to care for women collides with a culture that pressures you to compromise your convictions? In this episode, host Bill Reichart sits down with OB‑GYN Dr. Madison Chapman for a candid exploration of the ethical minefields facing Christian physicians today. From abortion training mandates to residency pressures, they unpack the daily dilemmas of caring for women and their babies while holding fast to the Gospel—and reveal how to navigate that tension without losing your soul.

Dan Adams shares from Ephesians 4:1-13 about how Unity within the Church requires effort from all to achieve the Bond of Peace.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Trish Burgess, Director of Global Health Outreach and Dr. Andy Lamb, an internal medicine physician who has led 50 global medical mission trips with CMDA’s Global Health Outreach. In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, Dr. Lamb shares how missions transformed his faith, his practice, and even his family life. From his early career as an Army physician to his decades of service overseas, Dr. Lamb’s story is one of God’s power to change hearts through service. You’ll hear how missions shaped his role as a father, a mentor, and a servant leader, and how ordinary people — medical and non-medical alike — can join God’s work around the world. Whether you’re a healthcare professional or simply someone passionate about faith and service, this testimony will encourage you to live with a heart for Christ and a vision for others.
