What is medicine really for?

In this solo episode, Gomer explores the purpose of medicine through the lens of Scripture, philosophy, and the Catholic faith. Drawing from Sirach, Plato, St. Thomas Aquinas, Edmund Pellegrino, and the healing ministry of Jesus, he argues that today's healthcare crisis is ultimately a crisis of understanding what it means to be human.

Gomer reflects on accompanying his father through his final days before introducing a new season on Catholic healthcare. Together, Gomer and Dave explore the Church's vision for medicine, the dignity of every patient, and why healthcare is more than a profession, it's a vocation to share in Christ's healing ministry.

We are taking a break this week as Gomer's dad's funeral is taking place this week. Please keep the Gormley family in your prayers. In the meantime, please enjoy this episode from the backlog.

It can be difficult to see the point of our suffering. Sometimes, it can be an even greater struggle to help someone else through their suffering. Mike and Dave are joined by Jeff Cavins to discuss evangelization, but especially, how to share a message of hope when it comes to suffering.
