In this special crossover episode from Faith in Healthcare’s sister podcast, Voice of Advocacy, host Dr. Brick Lantz and Dr. Mike Chupp sit down with Dr. Bill Lile, a board-certified Florida OB-GYN with more than thirty years of experience delivering babies, who has transitioned from clinical practice to full-time pro-life ministry through ProLife Doc. Dr. Lile shares how he is bringing evidence-based science about life in the womb into secular universities and schools, making the case that clear, factual teaching has the power to shift perspectives on the value of human life at every stage. Rooted in the conviction that “a patient is a person, no matter how small,” Dr. Lile argues that pre-born babies are patients deserving the same rights, dignity, and legal protection as any other, and that advocating for the most vulnerable among us is both a medical and moral calling.

ER nurse Lori Price and dentist Dr. Valerie Preston join host Dr. Mike Chupp to share about their experience co-leading a Global Health Outreach (GHO) mission team to Bangkok’s red light district in 2025, one of the darkest centers of human trafficking in the world. After serving together on previous trips to places like Tanzania and Ecuador, Lori and Valerie reflect on what it looked like to step into such a heavy and broken environment. They discuss trauma-informed care, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the challenge of faithfully planting seeds they may never see grow. Through providing medical and dental care to nearly 300 women in Bangkok, their team witnessed how simple acts of service can open the door to share the hope and love of Christ. This is a powerful conversation about faithfulness in hard places and bringing light into the darkest corners of the world.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the NIH and Acting Director of the CDC, joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz for a conversation on faith, science, and public health. As confidence in healthcare institutions has declined in recent years, Dr. Bhattacharya reflects on the cultural pressures that have shaped scientific discourse, from silenced debate to the challenges of pursuing honest inquiry. He shares his perspective on NIH funding priorities, lessons from COVID, vaccine science, and the ethical complexities surrounding gender medicine, along with how his faith in Christ shapes both his convictions and his leadership. This is a meaningful episode for anyone seeking to pursue truth with integrity and lead with courage in service to others, while remembering we ultimately answer to God alone.
