57. Christian Physician: Are You Compartmentalizing Faith and Medicine?

Send us Fan MailYou can love God… be fully committed to your patients… and still feel like you’re living two separate lives.One in medicine.One in your faith.For years, that’s exactly how I lived.In this episode, I’m reintroducing myself and sharing my journey—from growing up in Germany to training and practicing as a pediatric hematologist-oncologist—and the subtle way I began to compartmentalize my faith along the way.I was praying.Leading Bible studies.Showing up to church when I could.But underneath it all… I was still operating from control.Medicine trains us to rely on ourselves.To carry the weight.To make the decisions.And without realizing it, that mindset can quietly shape our relationship with God—where prayer becomes reactive, outcome-driven, and God becomes someone we consult… rather than follow.But there’s another way.In this episode, I’ll walk you through: What it actually looks like to live on “parallel tracks.”  How performance and control show up in our faith  And the invitation to surrender—not just outcomes, but your entire way of practicing medicine This is the beginning of a deeper shift.A move from striving… to partnership with God.If this resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own either.👉 Join the Heal the Healers Facebook community to continue the conversation 👉 And make sure you’re on the waitlist for the Heal the Healers Boston Conference (Oct 30–31, 2026)—a powerful space for physicians to be restored, equipped, and activated: Go to 👉 https://ingahofmann.com/eventsYou were never meant to carry this alone.Join Us in BostonWhat if you could step away from the demands of medicine for two days—not to do more, but to encounter God, receive, and be renewed?Join Christian physicians and healthcare professionals from across the country at the Heal the Healers Physician & Healthcare Conference: Healing & Miracles—Bridging Science and Faith.Together, we’ll explore healing and miracles through Scripture, science, medicine, worship, prayer, and practical ministry—while making space for God to minister to us, too.If something in you has been saying, “There has to be more,” I would love to have you in the room.📍 Boston | October 30–31, 2026Standard Registration through September 30👉 SAVE YOUR SEAT:https://healthehealersconference.com/boston2026Join our growing Facebook Community.Follow me on FacebookCheck out my YouTube Channel
