You’re Not Too Busy for What God Is Calling You To

What happens when God calls you to serve—even when your medical career, family, and schedule already feel completely full? Dr. Shay Moore and Dr. Tony Kim weren’t looking for another responsibility. But when longtime Christian healthcare leaders Arnie and Lois Unfelt prepared to step away after 40 years of faithful ministry in Colorado Springs, God began bringing the right people together at exactly the right time. In this episode of Faith & Health Care, Shay and Tony share how prayer, Christian community, mentorship, and a willingness to say “yes” helped create a new chapter of ministry among healthcare professionals in Colorado Springs.

They discuss: • Why Christian healthcare professionals need a community where they don’t have to explain their faith or the pressures of medicine • How one generation can successfully pass the ministry baton to the next • Why you don’t have to feel ready before answering God’s call • The importance of mentoring and discipleship in healthcare • How Christian doctors can use their God-given skills to serve their communities • What they learned from the national Christian healthcare convention • How Tony began praying with patients during emergency-room shifts • Why Christian healthcare professionals need encouragement to stand for truth • The powerful community experienced at Medical Week at Spring Canyon Tony shares a remarkable story of how a simple biblical reference during an emergency-room procedure opened a door for a patient and other healthcare workers to share their faith.

And Shay describes the incredible impact of Medical Week at Spring Canyon and the Christian community that helped sustain her through military service, medicine, marriage, and family. The question for all of us is simple: What might God already be preparing you to say YES to?
