Dr. Richard Zimmerman joins Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for a conversation on vaccines, public trust, and the role of Christian healthcare professionals in a post-COVID world. Drawing on his experience in vaccine research, clinical practice, and national policy, Dr. Zimmerman shares lessons from the pandemic, addresses concerns such as myocarditis and vaccine hesitancy, and discusses where vaccine science and technologies like mRNA may be heading. Together, they discuss how clinicians can engage these questions with scientific integrity and respect for conscience while continuing to care well for their patients and communities.

Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and host of The Briefing, joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and co-host Dr. Brick Lantz to discuss the moral and cultural forces shaping medicine today. From the erosion of objective truth to growing threats to conscience protections, Dr. Mohler reflects on the challenges facing healthcare professionals and the urgent need to rebuild trust in medicine. Together, they explore why a commitment to the dignity of every human being, grounded in the image of God, must remain central to patient care and healthcare practice.

Guest Dr. Ward McClellan and first-time co-host Dr. John G. Pierce join host Dr. Mike Chupp for Part 2 of a conversation about infertility and in vitro fertilization. As a reproductive endocrinologist, OB-GYN, and follower of Christ, Dr. McClellan brings both clinical expertise and biblical conviction to this topic. Dr. Pierce, CMDA’s Vice President of Missions and Medical Education and Chair of Women’s Health at LUCOM, is board-trained in both Internal Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology, bringing decades of clinical and academic experience to the discussion. Together with Dr. Chupp, they explore how Christian healthcare professionals can navigate the ethical complexities of IVF, uphold the dignity of every human life, and care well for couples facing infertility while remaining faithful to Christ in a rapidly evolving field of medicine.

Dr. Kristin Collier joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for part one of a two-part conversation on IVF and assisted reproductive technologies, an issue that touches real marriages, real longing, and often deep heartbreak. The desire for children is good and God-given, yet the technologies designed to help can raise significant ethical questions for Christian families and healthcare professionals. In this episode, Dr. Collier, Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan and a leading voice on human dignity at the margins of life, helps us explore why being “pro-baby” cannot mean “by any means necessary.” Grounded in the imago Dei, we consider what’s often overlooked in the IVF process, including embryo loss, freezing, genetic screening, and the broader moral framework shaping modern reproductive medicine.

In this special episode, we revisit a powerful plenary message from John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and host of Breakpoint, originally delivered at CMDA’s National Convention several years ago. John challenges us to look beyond cultural headlines and political debates to a deeper, more personal question: not simply what Christ has saved us from, or even what He has saved us to, but what He has saved us for. Speaking directly to Christian healthcare professionals navigating a shifting cultural landscape, he calls us to live with courage and faithfulness in every sphere of influence.

Host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz put together a special Q&A episode that steps away from the usual interview format to engage directly with the real questions CMDA members are asking. Drawing from ongoing advocacy and ethics conversations, as well as dialogue emerging through The Point of Medicine, they walk through practical, on-the-ground scenarios Christian healthcare professionals are facing today, from conscience protections and difficult clinical decisions to mentoring, grief, identity, and when (and how) to pray with patients. This conversation centers on what it looks like to speak truth with compassion while caring well for every person entrusted to us.

In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz sit down with Dr. Christina Francis, OB/GYN hospitalist and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life OB/GYNs (AAPLOG), for a conversation about the shifting realities of women’s healthcare after Dobbs. Together, they examine how abortion drugs are being used across state lines, the growing importance of conscience protections for OB/GYN residents and trainees, and why accurate, medically grounded language is essential for patient trust and care. Dr. Francis also highlights AAPLOG’s work to educate, equip, and support physicians who are committed to life-affirming medicine in an increasingly complex clinical and legal environment.

Dr. Charles Camosy joins Faith in Healthcare host Dr. Mike Chupp and co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for a conversation on faith, bioethics, and moral responsibility. A professor of moral theology and bioethics at The Catholic University of America, Dr. Camosy offers wisdom and clarity to some of the most challenging bioethical questions facing Christian healthcare professionals today. Together, they explore how clinicians can resist polarization, bridge divides, practice moral courage, and uphold human dignity, from the beginning of life to end-of-life care. This episode also examines how language matters, the call to intellectual solidarity, and how a gospel-shaped vision of the human person enables us to engage patients and colleagues with both conviction and compassion.
