The Christian Physician | Healthcare, Faith, Medicine, Leadership, Healing Prayer, Trust God
Do you feel called to medicine, but unclear what God is asking of you in this season?
Are you longing for deeper intimacy with Jesus, but struggling to make space for Him in the demands of medicine?
Do you crave clear direction from the Holy Spirit, yet feel stuck in overthinking, uncertainty, or spiritual noise?
I’m so glad you’re here.
This podcast will help you hear God’s voice clearly in your daily life so you can boldly integrate your faith and medicine and step confidently into your God-given purpose in every season.
I’m Inga, a Christian physician, mom, wife, and follower of Jesus.
For years, I tried to live out my faith authentically while navigating the relentless pressures of academic medicine. But honestly? I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and often unsure whether I was hearing God… or just my own thoughts.
I wanted clarity about career decisions, patients, and daily life. I tried to stay consistent with prayer and Scripture, but medicine kept pulling me off track. My quiet time was hit-or-miss. Faith felt compartmentalized. I felt defeated.
Then something shifted.
I realized I didn’t need more striving — I needed margin. I needed habits rooted in intimacy, not performance.
When I committed to daily Scripture and prayer (for real this time), intimacy with God became my foundation. And from that place, I began hearing His voice with clarity — in prayer, in intercession, and even in caring for my patients.
That shift led to Spirit-led discernment, bold obedience, and even a miracle with one of my patients that changed me forever.
I have never been the same.
Now I help Christian physicians:
• Hear God’s voice — even on their busiest days
• Integrate faith and medicine without apology
• Walk confidently as Spirit-led doctors who honor both God and science
If you’re ready to stop compartmentalizing your faith and start walking fully in your calling, this podcast is for you.
Grab your journal and your sword (yes, your Bible).
Let’s become the physicians God created us to be.
