How Faith Has Changed the Way I Practice Medicine
Can following Jesus really change the way someone practices medicine?
As a board-certified emergency physician, I still work in the same emergency department, treat the same illnesses, and rely on the same medical training. But after giving my life fully to Christ, something profound changed—not my profession, but my purpose.
In this video, I share how my faith has transformed my approach to emergency medicine, including:
• Finding contentment instead of seeking fulfillment through my career
• Seeing every patient as someone created in the image of God
• Pursuing excellence as an act of worship
• Beginning every shift with prayer and dependence on God
• Learning humility while serving patients and working alongside an incredible healthcare team
• The incredible responsibility—and privilege—of representing Christ during some of the hardest moments in people's lives
• Discovering true peace (*shalom*) in a profession filled with high-stakes decisions and constant pressure
One of the most humbling thoughts I share is imagining a family gathered around their loved one in the emergency department, praying for God to help them. Moments later, I walk into the room. What an incredible responsibility—and what an incredible honor—to be used by God as part of His answer to someone's prayer.
My hope is that this video encourages not only physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers, but anyone seeking to live out their faith in their everyday work. No matter your profession, God can transform not only what you do—but why you do it.
If this video encouraged you, I'd love for you to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may need the reminder that our work can become an act of worship when it is done for the glory of God.
