About this listen

Restore Healthcare Project is a bold podcast targeting licensed healthcare professionals, presenting hopeful and innovative ideas to challenge current ideas of what makes good healthcare. This podcast highlights some essential elements that have degraded in modern healthcare as the presence and power of God has been pushed aside. We also uplift and celebrate the brilliant advances of science and technology that have broken through millennia of human suffering with life-sustaining discoveries. The podcast aims to propose and defend the claim that God is still present and vitally involved in responding to the needs and brokenness of humanity, evidenced in the beautiful work of healing professionals. These conversations propose solutions for health professionals to crisis-level needs such as compassion fatigue, clinician resilience, bioethics dilemmas, resource deficits, and mindset corruption. They also provide a source of hope through the real-life storytelling and honest vulnerability of active healthcare clinicians finding their way toward their patients and toward greater freedom from disease and despair. Clinicians relate their journeys from dreaming of their destiny, to floundering in the realities of our broken healthcare systems, and onward to the wisdom they have uncovered that saved their dreams and fuels their compassion. Ours are the stories that are not being told in the mainstream doomsday narratives about healthcare, but they are the stories that have the power to draw, transform, and sustain a new movement of paradigm-shifting, compassion-bursting healthcare innovators. They tell healthcare professionals that their sacrifices are legitimate and sustain them in a holy and fulfilling calling. They point us to a source of strength and drive that cannot be explained through science, and yet which also simultaneously embraces the outlandishly bright expressions of science as the best of God’s heart toward us. Ours are the stories of Hope in healthcare.

  • Nursing as a Form of Worship | #29
    May 23 2025

    On this episode of the Restore Healthcare Podcast, Dr. Kang is joined by registered nurse Bex Lawton.Together, they explore Bex’s background in pediatric nursing—and how her deeper focus became the connection between parents and their children in care. Called to nursing from a young age, Bex shares how her understanding of what it means to be a nurse has evolved through her relationship with the Holy Spirit.She also shares a powerful, original poem about nursing as an act of worship. There’s a symphony of praise we can offer the Lord—beyond music—that flows into our work and daily lives, even in healthcare.As healthcare professionals, we’re called to see people as made in the image of God. It’s not always easy or perfect, but when we truly see people, they often encounter Jesus—without a single word spoken—in the exam room, the operating table, or the recovery ward. Bex offers insight on finding quiet moments to pray and stay connected to the Lord, even while caring for patients. When Dr. Kang asks where Bex most often sees Jesus in her work, her answer will resonate with anyone looking for God’s presence in the heart of healthcare.

  • Intro to Connection Culture | #28
    May 16 2025

    On this episode of the Restore Healthcare Podcast, Dr. Kang explores the link between connection and healthcare. Sharing a story from medical school, she reflects on the loss of a patient and the chaotic process of grief among medical professionals. In medicine’s culture, blame often leads to perfectionism and relentless striving. But we’re not meant to be perfect—and there’s real freedom in embracing that truth.Western medicine, shaped by religious performance culture, often values measurement over connection. But what if we nurtured connection instead? Tools like Holy Spirit guidance, connection assessments, and strong communication can help build safer environments where professionals learn and grow without fear. Performance-driven cultures don’t deliver whole-person care—connection does. Innovation, growth, and true healing flow when we live from who I am is who I am becoming, not from perfectionism.

  • Dual-Realm Healthcare Core Value Part 4 | #27
    May 9 2025

    On this episode of the Restore Healthcare Project, Dr. Kang is joined by a familiar favorite, registered nurse, Paul Manwaring. On this part of their Dual-Realm Healthcare series, Dr. Kang & Paul Manwaring dive into the 4th core value of Dual-Realm healthcare. They highlight all the overlap and synergy between healing that comes through modern medicine and healing that comes divinely. They point out that in fact, there is NO distinction between them, as God is present and working in all iterations of healing care that is given with love and received by faith. They discuss tensions and misperceptions about what is the superior way to be healed, and Paul tell's his own story about how he was healed supernaturally by surgery. Dr. Kang tells the tragic story of a little girl who died as the result of her parents and church family refusing her the recommended medical care because they were believing only for divine healing. They discuss that it is actually often pride or fear (not faith) that leads some to disregard doctor's recommendations and insist only on divine healing, not realizing that God may have been right there ready to heal through the doctors they rejected. Ultimately, they affirm this core belief that the best of medicine IS the best of Jesus, and that the best of Jesus can also be found within the best of medicine.
