Hi y'all!! Tune into another great episode as I talk with Manu Anish!! Manu is a fourth year medical student at Ross University School of Medicine pursuing his MD degree. Born and raised in New York City and a first generation South Indian American, he considers this “dual upbringing” something that continues to enrich and inform his life’s journey. He is passionate about all things faith, healthcare, music, food, and most recently running. He enjoys encouraging people to live out their God given purpose and potential with boldness.

In this episode Manu describes how Jesus is purpose, presence and promise and asks us the question, WHO is Jesus to YOU??

Manu and I discuss how being from two difficult cultures enriches our experiences and how it can also be a source of tension. We discuss how it can help us serve as a bridge--bringing others together and pointing them to Jesus. 

None of us are immune to anxiety, and Manu describes how he combats the anxiety that comes with medical school-- by avoiding comparison and engaging in activities that bring him joy. 

He talks about how to deal with the insecurities that may ravage our minds but surrounding ourselves with people that speak life into our lives and hiding God's Word in our hearts. 

This episode also includes a series of back to back questions about Manu's goals, favorite book, scripture, etc.! 

Here are some of my favorite quotes/thoughts from this episode:

• "Even in our failures, we are met by the faithfulness of God"


• The moments you feel the worst, isolated and overwhelmed, are the places where you can meet God the closest.


• Be generous with the time you give others--it has healing qualities.


• God is the constant in the change.
