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
