In this episode, David Kim sits down with osteopathic family medicine doctor Brookshield Laurent, to reflect on her decade-long journey of hopeful imagination and generational work in the Mississippi Delta region.
Together, they explore what it means to pursue healing in a deeply broken healthcare system shaped by systemic injustice, generational poverty, and spiritual need. Brook shares how imagination, community, and attentiveness to the Holy Spirit have reshaped her approach to public health and leadership, moving beyond short-term solutions toward long-term obedience and a renewed vision for future generations.
This conversation invites us to reconsider success not as mastery or immediacy, but as perseverance, fidelity, and hope held in tension—trusting that God is at work long before we arrive and is faithful to continue long after we may be gone.
