We recently invited psychiatrists Warren Kinghorn and Curt Thompson to discuss a Christian approach to mental health care. Listen to the full conversation here: ttf.org/?portfolio=onl…

I wish that you could see what it looks like when a young mother dies from AIDS. The flushed skin, the wet rattle of fluid-filled lungs with every breath. I think most people would be a lot less callous about PEPFAR and USAID being destroyed if you could see it.

Appreciate the reporting here. The challenge for PEPFAR is 3-fold at this point: 1. Funding for approved/waiver programs doesn't seem to be flowing across the board. 2. Many programs that are worthwhile have been permanently terminated 3. New budget threatens to cut what's left.

How can we engage our own loneliness and respond to the epidemic of social isolation and loneliness around us? I enjoyed being in conversation about this with Marcus Goodyear and Camille Hall-Ortega on The Echoes Podcast HEBFDN: hebfdn.org/echoes/the-ech…

To those who are struggling or considering suicide, here is the message of Christian faith: You matter. You are loved. Your life has meaning and value. Don’t give up. There is hope for your future. Do not harm yourself, for we are all here. Christianity Today christianitytoday.com/2025/05/do-not…

I'm grateful to Pastor Travis Jamieson of The Faith (In)Forming Podcast for this conversation about _Wayfaring_: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-…

In his essay, "Do Not Harm Yourself, for We Are All Here," Duke psychiatrist and Duke Divinity School professor Warren Kinghorn shares a model for the church to respond to #suicide in an America plagued by #DeathsOfDespair. ow.ly/vZQT50VTUho Duke University School of Medicine

"Help us remember we are not unstoppable—and that we don’t need to be." Grateful to Duke University School of Medicine student Lily Fahs for sharing from her own experiences in this beautifully written reflection on "The Myth of Physician Invulnerability:" rdcu.be/es4WB

Earlier this year I had the privilege of speaking at the Calvin Symposium on Worship about how Christians can work to prevent suicide and to support survivors of suicide loss. The recording of that conversation is now available here: youtube.com/watch?v=vEoTCH…

"Reflecting after failing a patient, I realized the importance of carefully listening to patients to co-create effective care plans."- Abraham Nussbaum Warren Kinghorn Sidney Hankerson Lucy McBride, MD Linda Girgis MD Jessi Gold MD MS #MedTwitter #patientcare closler.org/lifelong-learn…

It is always a privilege to speak with pastors about mental health care and the role of the church. I especially appreciated this conversation with Chris McAlilly and Eddie Rester on The Weight Podcast. theweightpodcast.com/episodes/we-ar…

When I ask patients about religious communities, I learn something important about what and whom my patients love and where they find hope, even in the hard situations when love has been betrayed and hope seems distant. And I'm grateful for the trust that we build together.

Great article from Matthew Loftus about MAHA and medicalization

Congrats to Duke Theology, Medicine, Culture TMC alum Micah Rojo on this paper about how medical systems make it hard to talk directly about death, and the role of the nurse as a "courageous truth-teller." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
