During this episode I read a portion of an email I received from a listener when I asked her if she had any questions I could build a show around. In that email she asks me what my sacred activity is.

After much thought, I have decided to share my sacred activity during this episode.

The truth is that I am completely incapable of doing this complex and emotional work under my own power. This work can be overwhelming to the mind and soul at times. In this episode I explain how my faith and spiritual practices help me provide the kind of medical care and emotional support my patients and their caregivers deserve.

I also promise to upload a sermon series that really helped me balance my faith with my work habits. That series can be accessed HERE. I have also added it as a menu item on my website.

I explain in detail the following 6 concepts I try to employ every day to the the best I can be.

1. Repetition is a mode of learning.
2. I try to remain in constant contact with my own brokenness.
3. I try to always see what someone can become instead of what they currently are.
4. I remind myself daily that all persons have eternal value and existence.
5. I remember that I can leave all my fears and concerns at my place of worship.
6. I can’t always control outcomes, and I will never survive this work if I try.

I also share the two following quotes by C.S. Lewis

As always don’t be afraid to reach out to me personally should you have any questions.
