Dr. Timothy Durkee: The Truth That Sets Us Free—In Medicine, Politics, and Life

On today’s Stand Up for the Truth, host Dave Wager brings on his longtime friend Dr. Tim, a physician and city council member, for a wide-ranging conversation rooted in John 8:32—“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Dave reflects on God’s role in medicine, sharing how he trusted the Lord through his wife’s cancer surgery, while Tim recalls moments when prayer guided him through critical procedures. The two talk through how truth requires discernment and obedience, not just knowledge. In his practice, Tim emphasizes the difference between evidence-based medicine and social narratives that distort reality, pointing to abortion, gender ideology, and the drift away from foundational truths. Together they affirm that real freedom comes from trusting God, not institutions.

The conversation shifts to politics and culture as Dr. Tim highlights the growing influence of narratives in media, government, and education. He notes how truth is often sidelined for political gain and how leaders stray from foundational principles of governance. Dave and Tim explore how many problems the government tries to fix stem from the church neglecting its role in caring for the poor, elderly, and vulnerable. Dave stresses the importance of returning to simplicity—living by God’s Word, valuing life, serving others, and trusting God’s provision. They close by reminding listeners that belief and truth are not the same—truth always stands, and ultimate freedom is found in Christ.
