EPISODE SUMMARYIn this powerful episode of the Rooted Podcast, hosts Josie and Symone sit down with Dr. Scott Jensen — family physician, founder of Catalyst Medical Clinic, former Minnesota State Senator, and current candidate for Minnesota Governor. Dr. Jensen opens up about his childhood in small-town Minnesota, the tragic loss of family members, his unexpected call into politics, and how faith and calling — not ambition — have guided his steps. From delivering 500 babies to tackling big healthcare legislation, Dr. Jensen shares how he continues to anchor his public life in service, conviction, and biblical truth. This conversation is filled with honesty, humor, wisdom, and deeply personal faith stories — a must-listen for anyone craving purpose-driven leadership in today’s culture.—----------------------TIMESTAMP SUMMARY01:00 – Dr. Jensen’s Minnesota roots & small-town childhood04:30 – Early work ethic: learning responsibility06:00 – Family tragedy: losing both parents09:00 – Meeting his wife on a bus14:00 – From dental school to seminary to medicine18:00 – Surrendering to God’s direction24:00 – Learning to return to your “why”27:00 – Calling into politics35:00 – Public criticism, courage, and staying grounded in faith38:00 – The five scriptures that confirmed his run for Governor41:00 – Time management, efficiency, and life systems46:00 – Practicing empathy in disagreement48:00 – Where to follow and connect with Dr. Jensen49:00 – Closing encouragement & Rooted truth challenge—----------------------NOTABLE QUOTES“Take a stand and make a mark.”“Security became my idol until I realized security was never meant to be my why.”“We mistake providence for coincidence far too often.”“Relationship should be defended, especially in medicine.”“I didn’t run for Senate.
