Welcome to a brand-new series on the Deeper Podcast called First to Aid—where we’re equipping the church to come alongside those facing difficult medical diagnoses and health challenges with love, wisdom, and presence.

This week, Doug Congdon is joined by co-host Lorraine Haug and special guest Kent Pope. Kent shares openly about the medical challenges he’s faced over the past few years and the powerful ways he’s been uplifted by the care and support of those around him.

Together, we discuss how to approach these deeply sensitive moments—not with perfect words or quick fixes—but with compassion, humility, and availability.
