About this episode

Gomer and Dave discuss the Church's vision for medicine and the vocation of healthcare as a means to share in Christ's healing ministry.

What does Jesus really mean when he tells his disciples to "heal the sick"? 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.
