Christ in medicine

As a spin-off from last week’s blog, let’s shed light on a lesser-known biblical fact: David fought other giants besides Goliath. 2 Samuel 21:15-22 narrates these often-overlooked encounters. As I have previously mentioned in my blog posts, the scriptures are written for our edification, allowing us to learn from the experiences of others. It would […]

This is an excerpt from a message I heard from my mentor, Apostle Emmanuel Iren. The story of David vs. Goliath is probably one of the top 10 most popular biblical stories worldwide, often celebrated as a beautiful underdog tale. It’s similar to Leicester winning the English Premier League or Bayer Leverkusen clinching the German

During my final year of medical school, I overheard a friend discussing her 5-year plan. In that moment, I realized that some of my peers had long-term visions for their futures, while I typically focused only on the year ahead.

The phrase “the disciple whom Jesus loved” is mentioned six times in the Gospel of John, but nowhere else in the New Testament. It’s intriguing that the author of this Gospel, traditionally believed to be John himself, is the one who documents this unique expression. No other disciple confirms this claim, suggesting it was John’s

When I first created my website, I didn’t post anything for over six months. Eventually, I took the bold step of putting up a post – I was so relieved! After that, I only posted when I felt like it, but this inconsistent approach was not taking me anywhere. Realizing the need for a change,

In the aftermath of World War II, a curious and tragic phenomenon emerged among the Japanese’ prisoners of war. These men, who had endured prolonged starvation and severe malnutrition, faced fatal outcomes upon reintroduction to rich food. Surprisingly, some died as a result. This unsettling discovery led to the identification of a medical condition known
