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.

In this episode of the Restore Healthcare Project, Dr. Jennifer Kang is joined by one of her favorite guests, Dr. Lysa Owen, for a timely conversation on the vital need for rest in the life of a clinician.
While rest is often emphasized in night-shift culture, many areas of healthcare still overlook its importance. Dr. Owen unpacks emerging research on the types of rest clinicians need—and why it matters not just personally, but collectively. Together, they explore how healthcare professionals can discover what rest looks like for them individually and foster a culture of rest within their teams.
If you’re tired, discouraged, or simply seeking healthier rhythms, this episode offers encouragement and practical insight for reclaiming rest in your life and practice.
