If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to live out your Christian convictions inside the medical world, you’re going to appreciate this conversation. In this episode, Abby Johnson sits down with Dr. Mike Chupp—surgeon, missionary, and CEO of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations—to talk about faith, integrity, and the pressures facing healthcare professionals today.
Dr. Chupp shares candidly about the growing fear of retaliation in medicine, why pro-life voices are being filtered out of academic and professional spaces, and how CMDA is equipping Christian doctors, dentists, students, and global workers to stand strong. He also opens up about his 20-year missionary journey in Kenya, the unexpected ways God redirected his career, and why global missions still matter deeply in a culture that increasingly encourages us to “focus only on home.”
This warm, eye-opening discussion shines light on the challenges Christians face in healthcare—and the hope, courage, and community available to those who are called to serve.
