Join Doug Apple as he interviews Mike Sharman, legal counsel for Share HealthCare, in a thought-provoking conversation on the power of a name. They start by exploring the meaning of the famous Shakespeare quote, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," and apply it to the identity of the Church—the Bride of Christ. The discussion dives into a study on fast-growing church names, noting how common words often reflect core biblical principles.

Mike then explains how the name Share HealthCare perfectly encapsulates their mission: a 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry dedicated to sharing members' medically necessary medical expenses.

The discussion also highlights:

-- The top words in fast-growing church names, including community, life, grace, and hope. -- The understanding that the Church's essence as the body of Christ remains regardless of its organizational name. -- How Share HealthCare is a non-insurance, faith-based ministry for Christians of any denomination. -- The ministry's exemption from the Affordable Care Act and state-level individual mandates. -- The criteria for "medically necessary" expenses, which aligns with biblical and moral standards (e.g., excluding abortions or non-medically necessary cosmetic procedures). -- Their incredibly affordable monthly sharing contributions (e.g., $149/month for a single) compared to traditional insurance. -- The model's foundation in the biblical concept of "loads and burdens," where individuals carry a personal expense (currently $2,000 per event) before the body of Christ shares the rest, with no annual or lifetime limits.
