Doctor, Faith, and Facing Life’s Hardest Questions (Pt 1)

In our second episode, we are joined by Josh, a sleep medicine fellow at a major academic hospital, to explore how faith and medicine intersect in powerful, unexpected ways.Josh shares how his relationship with God first led him to pursue medicine—and how caring for patients has only deepened that faith. From listening to patients share vulnerably, to standing at the bedside in moments of death, Josh reflects on how God has revealed His presence and purpose in the most sacred moments.We also dive into a conversation about suffering: what it is, why it happens, and how we can understand it through a biblical lens. Josh doesn’t shy away from the hard questions, and his story offers honesty, humility, and hope.Whether you're a healthcare worker, someone walking through illness yourself or with a loved one, or just trying to make sense of pain and purpose, Josh’s story is a reminder that God is not only in control but deeply loving, even in the hardest moments!Scripture:Job Questions God:Various chapters from JobGod Answers Job/The More We Know, the Less We Know:Job 38-41Ecclesiastes 8:16-17Going Through the Motions of Life:Luke 8:4-15Patient Reading Psalms:Psalm 23God Created Us to Love:1 John 4:7-21Our Actions Affect Others:Matthew 5:14-16Titus 2:7-8Hebrews 10:24-25We Were Created for a Purpose:Colossians 1:16Jeremiah 32:19Proverbs 19:21Proverbs 20:5Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,11Romans 8:28Ephesians 2:10Matthew 28:16-20Anxiety:Proverbs 12:25 Matthew 13:22Luke 21:34Job 3:25-26Approaching Anxiety:Philippians 4:6-71 Peter 5:6-72 Timothy 1:7Hebrews 13:6Matthew 6:34Proverbs 3:5-6Joshua 1:9Keeping Up with the Joneses/FOMO, When Looking at the WickedPsalm 73:3-16Matthew 16:25We Raise our Own BarMatthew 11:28-30Echo Chambers and Listening to What You Want to Hear:1 Timothy 4:12 Timothy 3:1-7Exodus 321 Samuel 15Romans 1:24Psalm 81:11-12Heart Hardening:Ephesians 4:18Matthew 13:14-15Caring for One Another:1 John 3:17-18Galatian 6:2Philippians 2:4    1 Thessalonians 5:11Colossians 3:12Connecting with Others Like You:1 Corinthians 9:19-23God Blesses Those Who Obey Him:Genesis 22:15-18Joshua 1:7-8Proverbs 16:20Psalm 119:2Galatians 6:7-9Philippians 4:4-9Philippians 4:14-19Colossians 3:23-24John 14:23Suffering:Philippians 1:29-301 Peter 4:12Growing Through Suffering:1 Peter 5:8-9James 1:2-4Romans 5:3-41 Corinthians 10:131 Peter 1:6-7Hebrews 12:11Matthew 16:24Romans 8:18Experiencing God through SufferingPhilippians 3:102 Corinthians 12:7-10Philippians 1:12-261 Peter 4:13Heaven/Paradise:Revelation 21:3-5We are Victorious:1 Corinthians 15: 54-571 Thessalonians 4:13-18Email List:Subscribe to our email list by clicking ⁠here⁠!Note: emails may go to your Spam folder.Special Thanks:Josh: for your friendship and brotherhood over the years, and for supporting this podcast from day one!
