The Immortal Mind: Neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor on Why We Are More Than Our Brains

Faith in Healthcare host, Dr. Mike Chupp, is joined by Dr. Michael Egnor, a neurosurgeon, professor, and residency program director at Stony Brook University, for an incredible conversation on neuroscience, philosophy, and Christian faith. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and his own journey from atheism and materialism to faith in Christ, Dr. Egnor explores whether the human mind can be fully explained by the brain alone. Sharing real-world evidence from brain surgeries, clinical experiments, neurological cases, and patients’ near-death experiences – and insights from his book The Immortal Mind – this episode challenges reductionist views of consciousness and invites listeners to consider what it truly means to care for patients as whole persons, created with body and soul by our Creator.
