S3 EP15. Can Faith and Science Speak the Same Language? with Ronnie Rose Jun 05, 2025

Ronnie Rose is a research scientist and rising science communicator, sister in Christ, and a dear friend of mine!

Ronnie has contributed to research at two of the world’s leading cancer hospitals and over the years, her work has contributed to studies on bladder, lung, prostate, and most recently, breast cancer. She’s also co-authored an educational textbook published by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, addressing the rising cost of cancer drugs and how it impacts patient access — a topic that speaks directly to her mission.

Ronnie’s built a diverse background from lab work in neuroscience to ecology — experience that now helps her connect ideas across disciplines and fuels her bigger mission: to make science accessible to underrepresented communities think about their health, and empower them with knowledge.

In this episode Kim shares a part of her testimony that resulted in a radical encounter with Jesus, breaks down how the high of that moment made the lows extremely low, and shows us how John the Baptist, Peter, and Thomas all doubted Jesus (and they were with him daily!!)

In this episode our host, Kim, dives into her personal experiences with her period and her hormonal journey thus far.
