Dr. Shaun Jester has spent his medical career responding to people during physical emergencies. Eventually, he began asking why we are often much less prepared when the emergency is spiritual.

The conversation also touches on his career as an OB-GYN and his involvement in the federal legal challenge concerning the FDA and the abortion drug mifepristone.

It is a discussion about medicine, faith, relationships, difficult conversations, and what it means to step toward someone in crisis rather than simply walking away.
