 Faith and science. God and the natural world. Religion and medicine. We often see these as opposites. But recent studies show that discussing God with their doctor makes people feel more seen, and provide better health outcomes than when spirituality is not a part of the health journey. We at the Christian Clinician truly believe that ignoring the spiritual health of a person will not only negatively affect the therapeutic doctor/patient relationship but also stunts a patient’s ability to fully heal. We are made up of three parts – our physical health (always addressed at a doctor visit), our emotional health (sometimes addressed), and our spiritual health (never addressed unless directly brought up by the patient). The Christian Clinician aims at bringing all three aspects of a person’s health – the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual – to the forefront as part of the whole person. As clinicians, we need to study and follow the science for best patient outcomes. And the science points to better patient outcomes, better quality of life, better physical and emotional health when we address spiritual health as well. As Christians, we need to stand for our beliefs and advocate bringing faith back into health care. The Christian Clinician discusses how various patients and providers bring God and the topic of spiritual and religious practices into their healing and the changes it makes in their outcomes. "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your SOUL, with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH.’" Mark 12:30© 2025 Psalm Medical 2025 スピリチュアリティ 代替医療・補完医療 科学 衛生・健康的な生活

  • Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? Investigating the Evidence for the Resurrection

    Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? Investigating the Evidence for the Resurrection
    2025/11/12
    In this episode of The Christian Clinician, host Dr. Tanya Paynter launches a three-part apologetic series on the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, focusing on the "minimal facts argument." As a practitioner who combines faith with evidence-based medicine, Dr. Tanya Paynter discusses how understanding historical evidence for the resurrection can strengthen both faith and well-being. She walks through the first two of five widely accepted minimal historical facts: Jesus’ death by crucifixion and the disciples’ genuine belief in his resurrection. The episode also highlights the value of early oral creeds, extra-biblical accounts, and even medical insights. Dr. Tanya Paynter encourages listeners to engage deeply with the evidence and to let their discoveries inform both mind and spirit.Today's Action StepsInvestigate the minimal facts argument for yourself and assess the level of historical confidence you require when evaluating evidence.Research the dating and significance of the oral creed in 1 Corinthians 15, as referenced in the episode.Reflect on what would motivate you to risk everything for a belief, using the disciples’ transformation as a model.Seek out additional resources on the historical evidence for the resurrection to deepen your own understanding.Recognize the connection between a secure faith and physical health, and allow truth to bring you greater peace.Resources Mentioned in Today's EpisodeStrobel, Lee.
