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 sits down with Brazilian surgeon and pastor Dr. Jonathan Assumpção. He shares how he juggles life as a surgeon, medical school director, and church leader—and how faith fuels his work in every setting. Together, they talk about seeing God’s hand in daily medical practice, the quiet miracles that happen in hospitals, and the joy of bringing Kingdom hope into patient care. This conversation is a reminder to every doctor, nurse, and healthcare worker that your work can be ministry, and that God is already present in the spaces you serve.
