Standing for Life in a Hostile Medical Culture: A Conversation with Dr. Mike Chupp
Nov 2000:45:08Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to live out your Christian convictions inside the medical world, you’re going to appreciate this conversation. In this episode, Abby Johnson sits down with Dr. Mike Chupp—surgeon, missionary, and CEO of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations—to talk about faith, integrity, and the pressures facing healthcare professionals today.Dr. Chupp shares candidly about the growing fear of retaliation in medicine, why pro-life voices are being filtered out of academic and professional spaces, and how CMDA is equipping Christian doctors, dentists, students, and global workers to stand strong. He also opens up about his 20-year missionary journey in Kenya, the unexpected ways God redirected his career, and why global missions still matter deeply in a culture that increasingly encourages us to “focus only on home.”This warm, eye-opening discussion shines light on the challenges Christians face in healthcare—and the hope, courage, and community available to those who are called to serve.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter
Transcribe →The Courage to Question: Jackie Schlegel on Medical Freedom, Parental Rights, & Vaccine Injury
Nov 1300:42:54Tap to summarizeWhat would you do if the system you trusted to protect your child became the source of their suffering?In this powerful episode of Politely Rude, Abby Johnson sits down again with Jackie Schlegel, founder and executive director of Texans for Medical Freedom, for a candid and emotional conversation about the growing movement for medical transparency and parental choice. Jackie opens up about her daughter Ashlyn’s vaccine injury — an experience that changed her life, launched her into advocacy, and continues to fuel her fight for accountability in public health.Together, Abby and Jackie unpack the dramatic expansion of the childhood vaccine schedule, the historic 1986 law that granted vaccine manufacturers immunity from liability, and what the medical freedom movement is doing today to protect families’ rights to informed consent. From COVID to children’s health crises, they ask hard questions about how we got here — and where America must go next to restore trust, truth, and compassion in healthcare.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter
