In this episode, Dr. John Petty joins Dr. Mike Chupp to tackle the heartbreaking rise in firearm injuries among children and its impact on families, communities, and the healthcare teams who care for them. A Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at Wake Forest and a national leader in pediatric trauma, Dr. Petty draws from years on the front lines to explain why children are uniquely vulnerable, what effective prevention looks like, and how clinicians can navigate the emotional and spiritual weight of these cases. He also shares insights shaped by his global mission work and leadership roles, including his service with the Pediatric Trauma Society and CMDA’s Medical Education International. With humility and deep compassion, he calls Christian healthcare professionals to be wise peacemakers, courageous advocates, and people who cultivate spiritual resilience in a polarized world. Let’s dive in.
