074 | When Faith Meets Science: Amy Rainey on The Power of Obedience in Everyday Calling

Sometimes it's the smallest acts of obedience that open the biggest doors.

In this inspiring conversation with Amy Hartman Rainey, medical researcher and faithful follower of Christ, we dive deep into what it looks like to walk in obedience, both in the lab and in life. With 25 years in clinical research experience and a heart for God’s truth, Amy has seen firsthand how faith and science don’t collide—they converge to reveal the Creator’s fingerprints.

From the breakthrough approval of a rare‑disease drug that saved the lives of children worldwide to her courage in standing for biblical truth in academic settings, Amy’s story is a powerful reminder that faith can flourish in any environment, even one that challenges it.

She shares how prayer at work transformed projects, why truth matters in a world that rewards silence, and how obedience, even when you feel underqualified, positions you exactly where God can use you most.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Faith and Science Can Co‑exist. Obedience invites God’s guidance even in research and data.
Boldness is Born from Identity. Confidence comes when you know you’re a child of the King, not defined by credentials.
God Uses Ordinary Faithfulness to Do Extraordinary Things. Prayer, diligence, and grace can shift outcomes far beyond your lab or office.
Speak Truth Even When It’s Unpopular. Standing alone for biblical truth inspires others to stand too.
Obedience is the Gateway to Impact. When you align your steps with God’s direction, He aligns your path with His purpose.
