FAQs
Is this medical advice?
No. The content on this site and in my newsletter is for educational and spiritual encouragement only. It does not replace individualized medical care, diagnosis, or treatment. For personal medical concerns, please consult your physician or qualified healthcare provider.
Why do you write about both faith and pediatrics?
As both a board-certified pediatrician and a Christian parent, I believe families need wisdom from both Scripture and science. My writing blends biblical truth, evidence-based child development, and practical tools for everyday parenting.
What if I disagree with your faith perspective?
You’re still welcome here. While my foundation is Christian, many of the practical parenting strategies apply broadly. My hope is that every family will find wisdom, encouragement, and tools for resilience.
Why mention AI tools?
Technology is part of modern family life. I help parents use AI wisely — not as a replacement for God’s wisdom or parental presence, but as a practical tool that can serve, not rule, our homes.
Statement of Belief
I believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God — fully God and fully man — who came to save us through His death and resurrection.
I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, true and trustworthy in all it teaches.
I believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
I believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to live in love, holiness, and mission until He returns.

This site is written from a Christian perspective, rooted in the authority of Scripture and the hope of the gospel.

Use of AI Tools
At times, I discuss the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a parenting tool. These discussions are exploratory and practical but are not endorsements of specific technologies and should not replace discernment, prayer, or professional judgment.
