A Passion for Caring

Dr. Aaron Santmyire is a husband, father, nurse practitioner, author, host of The Clarity Podcast, and, most importantly, a follower of Jesus.  He is from the “almost heaven” state of West Virginia and has a Doctor of Nursing Practice from West Virginia University, an MBA from Southwestern Assemblies of God University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Missions from Southeastern University.  Aaron has spent the last twenty years of his life serving in Africa, specifically in Burkina Faso, Madagascar, and Kenya.  He loves to fish for trout, eat homemade apple pie, talk to his orchids, and cheer on the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Born from a desire to counteract the world’s growing indifference, Aaron’s journey as an author and podcaster is driven by the belief that every act of caring matters. By sharing stories and engaging in meaningful dialogue, Aaron aims to inspire a culture of belonging and significance, proving that caring can indeed change the trajectory of our world.  Check out the latest episode of The Clarity Podcast, or grab a copy of his book, A Caring Life to learn more about how he inspires believers to be healthy and whole.  His newest title, A Caring Family, releases December 10, 2024.
