I asked God for a sign I couldn't deny. He gave me one — and I walked out of the room anyway.

I thought my baptism in the Holy Spirit was the finish line. It was the starting line — and the first thing the Spirit did wasn't to make me feel powerful. It humbled me.

In the week that followed, my shower became my prayer closet. Faces came to mind one after another, including a boy who punched me in art class thirty years ago and is in jail today — and I finally let go of a bitterness I didn't know I was still carrying. A sermon on 1 Corinthians 13 showed me the gifts were never the point. And at work, I finally learned to pray out loud, on the day God answered me in a way I couldn't argue with.

This is the story of learning to obey when it's frightening — and of the first song I ever published, "Well Done," which came straight out of this season.

I'm a doctor and a lifelong skeptic — so when I asked God to speak to me, I didn't expect an answer.

The day after the ER, my heart was back in rhythm — but the deeper wound, the one no scan can reach, was still there. I believed God was real. I just never believed He'd speak to me.

Then one text pulled me into a group of twelve men, and over six weeks the coincidences stacked up too specifically to keep calling them coincidences — building to one Equip Night, and something I never thought I'd say about myself.

If you've ever felt overlooked, or believed God is real but never quite believed He'd speak to you — I was you. This is my story.

In this first episode of the For His Glory Podcast, I tell the story of the day my heart slipped into an arrhythmia in the middle of an ordinary work meeting. I'm a radiologist — I read medical images for a living — and suddenly I was the patient: an emergency room, an IV drip, a rhythm that wouldn't settle, and a group of people praying for me. This is where it all started. The episode, the long night, and the morning it finally resolved — and the beginning of a seven-month journey I never saw coming, one that led a lifelong skeptic to being baptized in the Holy Spirit and to writing and releasing over a hundred songs. Part 1 of 2. However you found this, welcome. All of it is for His glory.
