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 Podcast, Dr. Kang wanted to highlight a session from the Restore Healthcare Conference 2025. This features an InspireX Talk by Dr. Brenda Jones, a seasoned clinician, nursing professor, and researcher. In her presentation, Dr. Jones shares recent research on the impact of in-person prayer for pain and anxiety relief in medical clinics. The randomized controlled trial, conducted both in Baltimore and virtually during the pandemic, involved 262 patients who were randomly assigned to receive either prayer in the name of Jesus or to listen to instrumental music. Dr. Jones explains how certified prayer ministers led the sessions and describes the study’s rigorous design. Results showed a significant and lasting reduction in pain for those who received prayer, with most participants supporting its availability in medical offices. She concludes by encouraging healthcare professionals to learn more about ongoing research and future opportunities to get involved.
