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!
