The Art of Biblical Patienthood: Christians and the Faithful Use of Modern Medicine

Morgan Wills, MD, MATS

Not all those in the CCHF movement are called to be medical professionals, but all of us will at some point be called to become patients. How do we do that faithfully? And how might we encourage our current or future patients to do so? Using stories from Scripture, his career serving immigrants and refugees at Siloam Health in Nashville, and his own recent personal experience as a wounded healer, Dr. Wills will invite workshop participants into a vision of what it means to follow Christ in the often confusing world of modern medicine. By situating illness and medicine within a larger story, we will consider how Jesus offers the illness experience as an opportunity to disciple all of us--on both sides of the white coat.
