Faith Over Fear With Jeremy Hill: Choosing Meaning When Life Gets Hard
In this episode of Chu on This!, Dr. Katie W. Chu sits down with Jeremy Hill, a seasoned ophthalmology professional with more than 30 years of experience in medicine, for a deeply reflective conversation about faith, resilience, mentorship, and what truly matters in life.
Jeremy shares his journey of working every role in ophthalmology — from the front desk to administration — and how those experiences shaped his perspective on leadership, gratitude, and service. He reflects on the mentors who guided him, the daily habits that ground him, and the importance of becoming invaluable through learning and humility.
The conversation takes a powerful turn as both Katie and Jeremy open up about their cancer diagnoses and how those moments fundamentally reshaped their outlook on fear, faith, and surrender. Jeremy speaks candidly about trusting the process, letting go of control, and choosing to believe that no matter the outcome, you can still choose to win.
Together, they also explore parenting, boundaries, coaching, leadership, and why success isn’t measured by trophies, titles, or metrics — but by the people you help shape along the way. With honesty, warmth, and quiet wisdom, this episode is a reminder that meaning often comes from closed doors, surrender, and lessons we didn’t know we needed.
Key Takeaways
Faith transforms fear into clarity.
Jeremy explains how surrendering decisions to faith removed stress and fear from major life choices. When you trust the process, decisions stop feeling like burdens and start feeling like alignment.
Winning isn’t the goal — character is.
Whether coaching kids or leading professionally, Jeremy emphasizes that shaping good humans matters far more than wins, titles, or metrics. The real victories reveal themselves years later.
Closed doors are often protection, not rejection.
Both speakers reflect on learning to appreciate closed doors, recognizing them as redirection toward something better rather than setbacks to fight against.
