WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.419
 So good morning, and thank you all for getting up and getting here on time.

00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:10.880
 I was excited when Greg invited me to participate in this Sunday school class,

00:00:11.540 --> 00:00:15.419
 not only to share what the Lord is teaching me through my work,

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.059
 but more importantly to learn from you what the Lord is teaching you through your work.

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:24.839
 Greg gave us, those who are participating, some three instructions.

00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:29.859
 First, that we're going to finish by 9.45 so we all can get to church on time.

00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:32.880
 Second, to leave some time for questions.

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.740
 And third, to base our discussion on scripture.

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:49.960
 So I thought I'd give an outline of our time and really focus our time together on Paul's first letter to the Corinthians

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.799
 about so whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:00.399
 Amen.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:08.840
 So allow me to tell you how we're going to divide up our time together into three different sections.

00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.879
 First, I'm going to share with you a little bit about my background and training

00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:20.759
 and learning about the second commandment, that you shall have no other gods before me.

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:28.899
 Second, how the Lord has provided ways for me to integrate my faith into practice

00:01:28.899 --> 00:01:32.919
 and the importance of praying, praying without ceasing.

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:42.799
 And finally, particularly important on passing on, as Paul wrote to those in the Philippians to encourage them,

00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:49.120
 as my teachers have encouraged me, I hope to be encouraging the people I am involved with teaching

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.380
 in whatever you have learned and received and heard and seen in me.

00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:58.160
 Practice these things and the God of peace will be with you.

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.640
 So before beginning, allow me just to share a short prayer.

00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.239
 So Lord, thank you for this day that you've made.

00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.939
 We'll worship and glorify you in this day.

00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.439
 Thank you for being the one who has knit each one of us in our mother's womb

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.240
 and know each one of our days before they come to being.

00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.500
 So we thank you for this day and we say praise the name of Jesus.

00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.060
 Amen.

00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:25.319
 And pray that the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts would be holy and acceptable to you,

00:02:25.699 --> 00:02:27.599
 for you are our rock and redeemer.

00:02:28.139 --> 00:02:29.219
 In Jesus' name.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:30.319
 Amen.

00:02:32.139 --> 00:02:36.979
 So in order to tell you about my work, I need to tell you a little bit about my background.

00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:42.420
 So I'm of Chinese descent and my parents were born in China

00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:49.259
 and my dad became a believer in China when his older brother was sick.

00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:53.379
 And none of the Chinese doctors or herbal medicines could help them.

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.060
 But there were missionaries there.

00:02:56.860 --> 00:02:58.520
 And the missionaries prayed.

00:02:58.979 --> 00:03:00.300
 The house shook.

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.439
 And his brother was healed.

00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:08.080
 So that's how my dad became a believer in China from missionaries who prayed.

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.500
 And my mom met my dad here stateside.

00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:14.520
 I'm the middle of three children.

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.420
 And so grew up in a Christian home.

00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:23.579
 But I would say it wasn't until I was in high school that when I accepted Jesus as my Lord,

00:03:23.679 --> 00:03:28.899
 and it was when I was a junior in high school, that my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer.

00:03:29.179 --> 00:03:30.459
 He was a non-smoker.

00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:33.479
 He lived about eight months with lung cancer.

00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:39.159
 And during that time, it was how he lived out his faith that really spoke volumes to me.

00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:44.460
 He was more concerned with his wife and his three young children than himself.

00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.560
 He would be praying for us.

00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.439
 And then so when he died, I know his prayers were answered because my mom was not working at the time.

00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.859
 And she had to raise three children just through high school and college and all that.

00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:04.360
 So it was really the Lord who really sustained us during that time.

00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:12.120
 Before he died, as any high school or young person would do, is they would ask their parent or a friend,

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.540
 you know, what, I don't know what I want to do, what kind of career I want to have, what kind of job to do.

00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:23.240
 And so I know, I knew my dad was dying, so I wanted to get his advice before he died.

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.600
 And I said to him, well, you're a chemical engineer.

00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.300
 So I was thinking about engineering school.

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:33.560
 You know, everyone talks about medicine, maybe medical school.

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.500
 Or maybe, you know, we go to church, so maybe going to divinity school.

00:04:38.019 --> 00:04:42.600
 So, you know, engineering, medicine, divinity, I really don't know what I should do.

00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:47.199
 And remember, as a high school student, you're doing those SATs and you're applying for college.

00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:48.280
 You just don't know.

00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:55.659
 And I remember him telling me, Barry, think about what your passion is, where your heart is.

00:04:56.179 --> 00:05:01.919
 And so that when you're doing whatever vocation the Lord calls you to do, it's not a nine-to-five job.

00:05:02.299 --> 00:05:06.099
 It's something that is a calling, that really, you know, it's your passion.

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:08.379
 So he died.

00:05:08.539 --> 00:05:12.279
 I, of course, went to engineering school, to think about that.

00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.579
 I majored in chemical engineering at RPI and then went to medical school.

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:27.079
 And went to the University of Rochester and then came to New Haven nearly 30 years ago for my training in residency in medicine.

00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:36.740
 So as you know, in training in medicine, you do high school, then you do some undergraduate, then you do four years of medical school,

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.120
 then you do three or four years of more of residency.

00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:44.719
 So it's a long journey of training.

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:50.540
 And during that training, you know, there have totally been bumps in the road.

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.140
 And it's really during those bumps the Lord really has been teaching me.

00:05:55.880 --> 00:05:59.440
 And during medical school, I worked hard to get into medical school.

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:03.300
 You have to get a certain grade point average and you have to do whatever interviews.

00:06:03.820 --> 00:06:07.520
 So I worked really focused getting into medical school.

00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:10.140
 It was really hard to get into medical school.

00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:18.199
 My first year in medical school, I came to a real crisis of self-doubt.

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.079
 I couldn't memorize all these things.

00:06:20.159 --> 00:06:21.599
 It felt overwhelming.

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.800
 And it was during that time the Lord was telling me and asking me,

00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.680
 you know, Barry, I know, you know, you've gotten to this point.

00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:34.060
 Are you willing to give up being a doctor?

00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:38.000
 Are you willing to give up medical school if I so called you?

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:46.620
 And until I could answer that question, and until I could answer that question, yes,

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.439
 I couldn't really continue on in medical school.

00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:55.459
 So when I, in my mind and soul, really resolved that I could give that up,

00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.519
 things got easier somehow.

00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.039
 So I got, the Lord guided me through medical school.

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:06.439
 And then I came to New Haven from Rochester, New York to New Haven.

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.479
 And coming to New Haven, it was the first time, like Ben's just here about three months.

00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:14.019
 I felt totally helpless.

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.039
 I had no friends.

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.740
 I had no church.

00:07:18.219 --> 00:07:19.279
 I was in a job.

00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:25.319
 I felt totally incompetent, you know, and I was clinically depressed.

00:07:26.359 --> 00:07:29.259
 I was having suicidal thoughts during internship.

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.159
 I was swearing underneath my breath because I was so angry.

00:07:33.699 --> 00:07:36.259
 I called my widowed mom in Rochester.

00:07:36.599 --> 00:07:38.159
 She was so worried about me.

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:40.799
 She called psychiatrists in New Haven for me.

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:48.360
 But being a guy and being an Asian guy, I was too proud to call for help.

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:58.259
 So I know, speaking to you and standing before you, it was only God who carried me through that internship year.

00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:00.560
 And things got better.

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:02.639
 I got involved in a local church.

00:08:03.580 --> 00:08:08.000
 Many of you had been there before, West State New Life Evangelical Free Church.

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.699
 I got involved in Bible studies.

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:15.779
 And really, that community really helped support and sustain me, encouraged me.

00:08:16.220 --> 00:08:25.639
 And it really taught me the importance of Christian community, to be able to uphold one another through joyful times as well as difficult times.

00:08:26.579 --> 00:08:33.659
 And reading this book, Every Good Endeavor by Timothy Keller, really has been enlightening.

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:42.339
 And there's a section in there that they talk about Martin Lloyd-Jones.

00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:50.879
 And I was interested in learning that his book is up there about the Sermon on the Mount, but learned that he was a physician.

00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.079
 He was a physician first by the age of 26.

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:58.259
 By the age of 28, he was a pastor.

00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:06.819
 He was a Protestant minister in Wales, England, and wrote these amazing reference books that we can use now.

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:15.059
 And he taught in one of the classes about what it is like.

00:09:15.059 --> 00:09:26.799
 So you're born, you know, medicine can be so encompassing, engulfing you, that on your epitaph or on your tombstone, it could say,

00:09:27.619 --> 00:09:30.459
 Born Barry, died a doctor.

00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:41.419
 And really, is that how you want to live your life, to just be known by whatever this occupation that's just so temporary?

00:09:41.419 --> 00:09:48.259
 And it's just a reminder to all of us that there are times he calls us to different things.

00:09:48.659 --> 00:09:49.919
 And we're not identified.

00:09:50.079 --> 00:09:55.039
 One of the things the Lord's teaching me is that you're not identified by your occupation or what you do.

00:09:55.579 --> 00:10:00.339
 You're identified being a son or daughter of Jesus Christ.

00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.819
 And so it's being a reminder of those things.

00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:12.300
 And that's why I thought it was important for me to learn not to have idols, whether that's idols of an occupation,

00:10:13.180 --> 00:10:18.240
 idols of doing well in an occupation, or pride, and have no idols.

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.040
 You shall have no other gods before me.

00:10:23.300 --> 00:10:25.120
 So that's section one.

00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:31.240
 I'll pause to see if you have any comments or questions before bringing up to section two.

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:38.300
 Yes?

00:10:38.920 --> 00:10:45.040
 Did you mentally decide to become a doctor and have a residency program?

00:10:45.640 --> 00:10:46.160
 I did.

00:10:46.260 --> 00:10:50.600
 I mean, I did my medical school training, and then I did residency here in New Haven.

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:51.500
 What was your residency?

00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:52.800
 In internal medicine.

00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:54.980
 And did you like that?

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:56.740
 Not their first year.

00:10:56.740 --> 00:11:05.779
 But, you know, God really helped carry me through, and, you know, I've enjoyed it since that time.

00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:11.320
 I would say, though, honestly, I've enjoyed parts of it.

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:15.379
 So, you know, you have good days and bad days, as everyone does.

00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:16.200
 Okay.

00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:23.580
 So, in my training, though, I really didn't integrate my faith into practice.

00:11:24.400 --> 00:11:31.180
 And so, moving on to this section section, really about integrating faith into your practice.

00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:44.120
 It really wasn't until I was at New Life Evangelical Free Church that one of the former elders, Jack Knudsen, led a Bible study, similar to this one, about God's sightings.

00:11:44.819 --> 00:11:49.059
 And basically looking for God in everyday things.

00:11:49.439 --> 00:11:55.079
 Knowing that things don't happen by coincidence, but by his perfect will.

00:11:55.080 --> 00:12:06.480
 I would say for myself, I would define myself prior to that Bible study as a Christian on Sunday and a doctor Monday through Saturday.

00:12:07.300 --> 00:12:17.620
 So, I identify myself separate and in silos instead of really integrating what it is to be a believer that's a physician.

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:18.019
 Right.

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:26.759
 And so, that really helped open my eyes and think about ways to integrate faith into practice.

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:46.840
 And so, then thinking about in, even now in medical school, we're teaching students to really, when you're talking about what's wrong with you, I hurt my knee, what other medical problems do you have, what medicines, do you smoke, do you drink, any drugs, but also to get a spiritual history.

00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:49.460
 Is faith important to you?

00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:51.440
 Does it really influence your decision?

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:52.639
 What is your faith?

00:12:52.820 --> 00:12:59.279
 And really kind of treating the patient as a whole instead of just their physical or the emotional depression.

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:03.039
 But their spiritual, assessing their spiritual needs.

00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.480
 You can actually ask that question.

00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:07.679
 You're asking.

00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:08.159
 No.

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.740
 You can ask them, what is your faith?

00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:14.200
 You know, is it, is, is, is, they use faith, they use religion, I use faith.

00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.120
 Is, is important to you?

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:23.259
 And so, really getting to know, because, you know, when they do surveys, the majority of Americans have some sort of faith.

00:13:23.820 --> 00:13:27.120
 And that their faith really does influence their decision making.

00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:30.980
 How aggressive you want to be with certain treatments, what you want.

00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:36.879
 So, really knowing the, the person is really important in taking care of that individual.

00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:38.539
 So, I'm not just treating pneumonia.

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.620
 I'm treating Henry with pneumonia.

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:43.940
 So, that's a more recent.

00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:50.320
 I would say, ever since my, since my residency training, this has been evolving.

00:13:50.640 --> 00:13:59.880
 So, you know, I think it's great to be able to have secular world be more enlightened about the importance of spiritual needs.

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.620
 So, I think that's important.

00:14:02.420 --> 00:14:07.040
 So, one of the earliest patients, you know, so I did my training.

00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:14.179
 It wasn't until really after residency that I was in practice, taking care of patients, really integrating faith into practice.

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:22.139
 And so, I remember a patient, Rebecca, from South Carolina that I met 4th of July weekend.

00:14:23.219 --> 00:14:27.379
 And she was from South Carolina, which is kind of remarkable.

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:30.740
 I'm talking about her today when all this flore and storm is.

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:33.960
 And that would be an example of like a God sighting.

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.480
 I don't think it's kind of a coincidence that's happening.

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:38.779
 So, this storm is happening in Florence.

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:41.419
 There was a storm in Rebecca's life.

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.580
 She was a custodial worker at Yale.

00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:53.139
 She had 12 children, 28 grandchildren, and 25 great-grandchildren.

00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:56.819
 So, I remembered her because of her remarkable history.

00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:05.019
 And she was from South Carolina, coming to New Haven on the 4th of July to visit her grandson, who lived up here.

00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:10.240
 And she wasn't feeling well, no appetite, and came into the hospital.

00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:15.460
 And in talking to her, she had some pain on her right side.

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:21.819
 And when you felt her, examined her, she had a mass on the right side around where her liver is.

00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:29.820
 And then, finding out a little bit about her, I learned that she sang in the choir, was part of her mission board.

00:15:30.540 --> 00:15:36.960
 And so, I asked her, after I talked to her and examined her, would it be okay to pray with you?

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:39.360
 And she said, yes.

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:44.840
 So, we pray, dear Lord, I know that Rebecca has to have this biopsy.

00:15:45.660 --> 00:15:46.820
 Guide the doctor's hands.

00:15:47.680 --> 00:15:49.800
 Pray for your protection over her.

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:54.159
 And we pray, your healing hand upon her, and that your will be done.

00:15:55.459 --> 00:15:57.819
 So, she went through the biopsy.

00:15:57.979 --> 00:16:00.620
 The biopsy was done without any complications.

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.799
 But two days later, it was found out that it was cancer.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.899
 And that the cancer had spread all over.

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.699
 It was metastatic cancer.

00:16:10.459 --> 00:16:15.259
 And given her age and her other medical history, there really wasn't much to do.

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:18.399
 So, this is the 4th of July weekend.

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:26.080
 And telling her that, she says, well, I don't know how much time I have, but what time I have, I'd rather spend with my family.

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:32.860
 So, we made arrangements to get her home to her son's home here in New Haven.

00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:35.960
 And so, I thought, well, okay, well, that's great.

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:38.600
 So, that was on like a Friday.

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:40.400
 So, then the weekend came.

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:44.520
 And on the weekend, I start getting several calls from the visiting nurse.

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.159
 That Rebecca's having more pain.

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.879
 That she's having fever.

00:16:49.699 --> 00:16:53.299
 That her urine output, the amount of pee she's making is less.

00:16:54.199 --> 00:16:57.079
 And then, as a doctor, I start second-guessing myself.

00:16:57.199 --> 00:16:59.919
 I said, well, maybe we discharged her too soon.

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:02.879
 Maybe we should have kept her in the hospital.

00:17:04.579 --> 00:17:07.359
 And so, I had this dilemma of what to do.

00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:12.319
 And kept on getting phone calls over the weekend.

00:17:12.899 --> 00:17:17.519
 And I learned that she lives in a part of New Haven that's not the safest area in New Haven.

00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.379
 The visiting nurses don't go there after hours.

00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:24.259
 I've never really did a home visit before.

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:31.799
 And I had a nice, you know, Honda Civic, whose radio had already been stolen two times during my residency.

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:35.119
 I didn't really want it stolen a third time.

00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:39.139
 But oftentimes, one hears a still, quiet voice.

00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:43.059
 And just felt that I should go visit her.

00:17:43.959 --> 00:17:45.759
 So, take my Honda Civic.

00:17:46.419 --> 00:17:48.599
 Drive it to the unsafe part of New Haven.

00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:50.699
 And walk in.

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.219
 And walk into this home.

00:17:52.379 --> 00:17:56.679
 And I am greeted by her husband of 65 years.

00:17:57.819 --> 00:17:58.959
 And he's there.

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.559
 He came up from South Carolina.

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:02.819
 Knew that she was not doing well.

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:05.819
 Rebecca was lying in bed in a room.

00:18:06.679 --> 00:18:09.839
 And the visiting nurse, who I don't know, just came by.

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:12.139
 And so, we're just talking.

00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.919
 And I notice a Bible in the room.

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:17.740
 And so, I said, oh, there's a Bible.

00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.059
 There's a Bible here.

00:18:19.899 --> 00:18:22.359
 Not knowing the visiting nurse's faith,

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.279
 I asked the husband,

00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.460
 and Rebecca, would it be okay to pray?

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:31.039
 And he said, yes.

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:33.759
 So, we held hands and prayed.

00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.779
 Pray, Lord, your comfort, your peace,

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.200
 your strength to the family.

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.340
 And I say, in Jesus' name,

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:46.160
 that the husband of 65 years goes,

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.920
 and Lord, I am satisfied.

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:52.039
 Thank you for being with us.

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.019
 Take her over the River Jordan to you, Jesus.

00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:00.079
 So, we say amen.

00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:04.759
 The visiting nurse says, thank you for that prayer.

00:19:05.899 --> 00:19:08.319
 Again, I don't know what her faith background was.

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:09.859
 I go home.

00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:12.759
 And two days later, we're in this,

00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.159
 we have a medical school fellowship group

00:19:15.159 --> 00:19:17.839
 called the Yale Health Professionals Christian Fellowship Group.

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.619
 And so, during this Bible study,

00:19:20.679 --> 00:19:22.220
 we're singing that song, you know,

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.099
 be not afraid, I go before you always.

00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:26.220
 Come, follow me.

00:19:27.199 --> 00:19:28.699
 And I will give you rest.

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.819
 And after we sang that song,

00:19:31.879 --> 00:19:35.919
 I get a page that Rebecca had gone over the River Jordan

00:19:35.919 --> 00:19:36.899
 to be with Jesus.

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.179
 So, what did Jesus teach me during this time?

00:19:42.659 --> 00:19:44.159
 The importance of prayer,

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:46.900
 the importance of finding out the faith,

00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:49.759
 spiritual histories of patients and families,

00:19:50.600 --> 00:19:52.980
 the importance of that he is in control.

00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:56.540
 Remember, I, as a doctor, I want to be right.

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:59.360
 I want you to come to me because, you know,

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.540
 I'm credible.

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:03.060
 But I'm not God.

00:20:04.820 --> 00:20:09.840
 And he has greater things beyond what we can imagine

00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:12.360
 and do than what we think.

00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.159
 So, the importance of trusting the Lord

00:20:15.159 --> 00:20:17.240
 and not trusting ourselves.

00:20:19.399 --> 00:20:23.179
 So, the importance of pray without ceasing,

00:20:23.659 --> 00:20:26.459
 as Paul tells the church in Thessalonians.

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.839
 Pray without ceasing.

00:20:30.679 --> 00:20:32.599
 So, I'll pause there

00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.079
 and see if any questions or comments.

00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:35.179
 Yes.

00:20:37.879 --> 00:20:39.220
 Mary, is there ever a bit of time

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.139
 when you've said,

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:43.599
 would it be alright if I pray for you?

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:44.980
 And someone has said,

00:20:45.439 --> 00:20:46.740
 no, I prefer you not to.

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.259
 Is there,

00:20:47.659 --> 00:20:48.699
 can you talk a little bit about

00:20:48.699 --> 00:20:50.259
 maybe those situations?

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:50.699
 Yes.

00:20:50.699 --> 00:20:51.000
 How do you handle that?

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.000
 So, always,

00:20:52.199 --> 00:20:53.639
 you're in a power thing.

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:55.699
 So, you don't want to take advantage of people

00:20:55.699 --> 00:20:57.740
 and you want to respect their dignity.

00:20:58.339 --> 00:21:00.099
 And so, always asking permission.

00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:02.199
 And of the times I've asked people

00:21:02.199 --> 00:21:03.459
 to pray with people,

00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:05.379
 only one person said no.

00:21:05.619 --> 00:21:06.659
 Of all these,

00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.019
 almost 30 years.

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:10.039
 Only one person says,

00:21:10.159 --> 00:21:11.359
 oh, then you just be gracious.

00:21:11.659 --> 00:21:12.419
 Okay, that's fine.

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.899
 Just pray silently.

00:21:13.899 --> 00:21:14.699
 You know, silently.

00:21:15.639 --> 00:21:16.119
 Yes.

00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:17.219
 So, I have a question.

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.879
 I'm in a job,

00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:21.000
 and I imagine some of the people

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.359
 I've got a lot of opportunities

00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:23.319
 that present themselves

00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:23.980
 where I could,

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.619
 in a natural way,

00:21:26.699 --> 00:21:26.959
 just say,

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:27.899
 hey, can I pray for you?

00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:28.780
 So, I'm curious, like,

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:30.080
 for me,

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:31.120
 I think a lot more about

00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:31.880
 praying for people

00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:33.960
 just generally,

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:35.060
 like people that I've met,

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:35.900
 people that I've encountered.

00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:36.920
 And I'm curious

00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:38.360
 what your experience has been like

00:21:38.360 --> 00:21:38.820
 with that,

00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:40.980
 where you're praying for people

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:41.780
 that you're encountering,

00:21:41.820 --> 00:21:42.519
 but not necessarily

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:43.880
 with them right now.

00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:44.740
 Yeah, I mean,

00:21:44.820 --> 00:21:45.519
 I think you pray,

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:46.660
 it says pray without ceasing.

00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.019
 So, you know,

00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:47.980
 whether it's out loud

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:48.720
 or silently,

00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:49.740
 you could be praying

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:50.519
 all the time,

00:21:50.560 --> 00:21:51.740
 whether the person's aware

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:52.519
 or not aware.

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:54.080
 But I would say,

00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:55.860
 I would say probably

00:21:55.860 --> 00:21:57.440
 more often than not,

00:21:57.900 --> 00:21:59.800
 people want you to be,

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:01.360
 really appreciate

00:22:01.360 --> 00:22:03.900
 if you do pray for them.

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.860
 And this book also points out

00:22:07.860 --> 00:22:09.560
 a very interesting article.

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.280
 One of the big journals

00:22:12.280 --> 00:22:13.840
 we have is called,

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:15.060
 medicine is called

00:22:15.060 --> 00:22:16.259
 the New England Journal

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:16.960
 of Medicine.

00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:19.540
 And this is an article

00:22:19.540 --> 00:22:22.180
 published 14 years ago

00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:24.880
 by Dr. Jerome Groupman.

00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:26.600
 So we won't have enough.

00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:27.560
 I have enough.

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:28.300
 I think I have enough.

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:28.900
 You have more?

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:32.820
 It says,

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:34.840
 God at the bedside

00:22:34.840 --> 00:22:37.220
 is the title of this article.

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.800
 Jerome himself

00:22:38.800 --> 00:22:40.260
 is of Jewish background.

00:22:41.260 --> 00:22:42.940
 And he's writing about

00:22:42.940 --> 00:22:44.540
 a dilemma he faced

00:22:44.540 --> 00:22:47.800
 of a 71-year-old patient of his

00:22:47.800 --> 00:22:49.800
 with metastatic cancer.

00:22:50.520 --> 00:22:51.420
 He's Jewish.

00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:53.720
 This woman believes in God.

00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:54.600
 And every time

00:22:54.600 --> 00:22:56.420
 she comes to see him,

00:22:56.820 --> 00:22:57.380
 she says,

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.460
 God is good.

00:22:59.420 --> 00:23:00.140
 Thank God.

00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:01.160
 God is good.

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:04.420
 And then one day

00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:06.600
 he is left with the dilemma.

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.900
 Dr. Groupman,

00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:10.600
 will you pray for me?

00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.759
 So what do you do

00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:16.740
 in that situation?

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.119
 Well,

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:23.740
 I believe the Lord

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:26.219
 gave Dr. Groupman wisdom.

00:23:27.659 --> 00:23:30.919
 He did what Jesus does often.

00:23:32.059 --> 00:23:34.079
 When we ask Jesus a question,

00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:35.559
 Jesus gives us a question.

00:23:36.619 --> 00:23:36.819
 Right?

00:23:36.959 --> 00:23:37.899
 He often taught

00:23:37.899 --> 00:23:39.539
 by asking questions.

00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:41.420
 So he

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:43.680
 said to his patient,

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.200
 Anna,

00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:47.399
 what is the prayer you want?

00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:50.240
 Can I pray for you?

00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:52.259
 What's the prayer you want?

00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.980
 And Anna's reply,

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:56.879
 pray for God

00:23:56.879 --> 00:23:58.619
 to give my doctors wisdom.

00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:02.779
 And with that,

00:24:03.139 --> 00:24:04.720
 Dr. Groupman could say amen.

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.860
 So oftentimes,

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:08.940
 we think we know

00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:10.360
 how to pray for someone.

00:24:11.180 --> 00:24:11.900
 But oftentimes,

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:13.140
 it's good for them

00:24:13.140 --> 00:24:14.759
 to share with you

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.700
 or, you know,

00:24:15.819 --> 00:24:16.860
 what is it exactly

00:24:16.860 --> 00:24:17.940
 you want to pray for?

00:24:19.600 --> 00:24:19.920
 Right.

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.860
 And I would say

00:24:21.860 --> 00:24:23.120
 in caring for patients

00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:23.600
 as a whole,

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.740
 I wasn't going to mention this,

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.019
 but,

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.160
 is that a lot of,

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:29.059
 not all,

00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:30.900
 but some physical,

00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:32.840
 emotional illnesses

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.740
 are related

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:35.000
 to spiritual things

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:35.980
 going on.

00:24:37.280 --> 00:24:38.420
 Unconfessed sin

00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:40.600
 or need for reconciliation.

00:24:41.560 --> 00:24:42.820
 That in medicine,

00:24:42.820 --> 00:24:43.759
 we want to treat

00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:45.080
 the underlying problem.

00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:46.080
 We just don't want

00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:46.980
 to treat the symptom.

00:24:47.580 --> 00:24:48.140
 We want to treat

00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:48.780
 the problem.

00:24:49.580 --> 00:24:50.960
 So really kind of learning

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:51.580
 and seeing

00:24:51.580 --> 00:24:53.259
 where the problem is

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:55.019
 sometimes is,

00:24:55.060 --> 00:24:56.040
 is very important

00:24:56.040 --> 00:24:57.320
 to know the patient

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:58.559
 as a whole.

00:25:00.619 --> 00:25:01.059
 Yes?

00:25:01.259 --> 00:25:02.259
 I think in the book,

00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:03.599
 wasn't there a discussion

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:04.399
 that was about

00:25:04.399 --> 00:25:05.419
 the medical patients

00:25:05.419 --> 00:25:07.179
 with an elder,

00:25:07.439 --> 00:25:08.839
 with a mentor of his,

00:25:09.419 --> 00:25:10.500
 and I believe

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:10.960
 that the number

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.639
 was perhaps

00:25:11.639 --> 00:25:13.200
 that only 30%

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.039
 of medical conditions

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.099
 are completely unrelated

00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:18.919
 to spiritual

00:25:18.919 --> 00:25:22.200
 or emotional issues.

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:22.639
 Yeah.

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:24.159
 Okay, that is correct.

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:24.700
 You're wondering

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:25.679
 if they did a survey

00:25:25.679 --> 00:25:26.480
 nowadays

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:27.579
 what the numbers

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:28.440
 would be

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.339
 because from my

00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:31.579
 human experience,

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:31.900
 you know,

00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:33.500
 stress is to me

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:34.440
 even more now

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:35.299
 than ever before.

00:25:36.259 --> 00:25:37.319
 And so,

00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:37.920
 you know,

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.940
 where do we find

00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:42.120
 our source of strength?

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:43.660
 Where do we find

00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:44.940
 our source of peace?

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:46.860
 And where are the answers?

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:50.339
 And for me,

00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:51.240
 the answers are

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:52.500
 in the creator

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:53.160
 of the world,

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:54.559
 of heaven and earth.

00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:56.279
 And the answers

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.440
 are in the Lord.

00:25:58.259 --> 00:25:59.599
 And I shared

00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:00.259
 with some of you

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:01.740
 that we were fortunate

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.519
 this summer

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.279
 to go to a Christian camp

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:06.379
 in the Adirondacks

00:26:06.379 --> 00:26:07.799
 called Camp of the Woods.

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.839
 And there,

00:26:10.099 --> 00:26:11.659
 lost Solomon spoke.

00:26:11.940 --> 00:26:13.200
 He's a Jewish believer.

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:15.000
 And he spoke about

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:15.559
 the importance

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.639
 of the Bible.

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.020
 And he talked

00:26:19.020 --> 00:26:21.259
 about 2 Corinthians 3.16.

00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.759
 All scripture

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:24.660
 is God-breathed,

00:26:25.140 --> 00:26:27.020
 useful for teaching,

00:26:27.300 --> 00:26:27.700
 correcting,

00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:28.720
 rebuking,

00:26:29.080 --> 00:26:29.960
 and training

00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.540
 in righteousness

00:26:31.540 --> 00:26:33.560
 so that the servant

00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:34.360
 of God

00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:35.200
 will be

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.960
 thoroughly

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:37.320
 prepared

00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:39.320
 for all

00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:40.620
 good works.

00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:42.399
 So where

00:26:42.399 --> 00:26:43.099
 will we get

00:26:43.099 --> 00:26:43.599
 to know

00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.259
 how to do

00:26:44.259 --> 00:26:45.679
 good works

00:26:45.679 --> 00:26:46.139
 and where

00:26:46.139 --> 00:26:47.039
 will we learn

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.079
 the knowledge

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.799
 to do those

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.379
 good works?

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:50.339
 It's not

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:51.059
 memorizing

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:51.759
 the New England

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.719
 Journal of Medicine.

00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:54.719
 It's reading

00:26:54.719 --> 00:26:55.299
 the Bible,

00:26:56.579 --> 00:26:57.239
 the source

00:26:57.239 --> 00:26:58.319
 of all truth.

00:27:01.219 --> 00:27:02.699
 So pause there.

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.479
 Any questions

00:27:03.479 --> 00:27:04.139
 or comments

00:27:04.139 --> 00:27:05.339
 before we go

00:27:05.339 --> 00:27:06.859
 to our third section?

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:09.159
 Yes?

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:10.320
 You spoke

00:27:10.320 --> 00:27:11.240
 about being

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.960
 a Christian

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.740
 on Sundays

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:15.820
 and doctor

00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:16.779
 Monday through

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.180
 Saturday.

00:27:17.340 --> 00:27:17.980
 At what point

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:18.800
 did you stop

00:27:18.800 --> 00:27:19.880
 thinking that way

00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:20.279
 and say,

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:20.820
 well,

00:27:20.860 --> 00:27:21.400
 I'm a Christian

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:22.540
 doctor or say,

00:27:22.660 --> 00:27:22.759
 well,

00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:23.320
 I'm a Christian

00:27:23.320 --> 00:27:24.160
 and I'm a doctor?

00:27:24.600 --> 00:27:25.279
 At what point

00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:25.660
 did you?

00:27:25.660 --> 00:27:25.779
 Yeah.

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:27.820
 So it was

00:27:27.820 --> 00:27:28.880
 at a church service,

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:30.180
 a Sunday school service

00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:32.000
 20 plus years ago

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.380
 where I learned

00:27:33.380 --> 00:27:34.460
 about God sightings,

00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:35.300
 really learning

00:27:35.300 --> 00:27:36.259
 how to integrate

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:38.060
 faith into practice.

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:39.179
 and I would say

00:27:39.179 --> 00:27:39.799
 it's remarkable

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.319
 we're having

00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:41.480
 this class.

00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.639
 Similarly,

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:43.659
 it's kind of

00:27:43.659 --> 00:27:44.220
 reminding

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:45.899
 and sharing ideas,

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:46.480
 we're all in

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.059
 different kind of

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.919
 fields and stuff,

00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:49.139
 of how you

00:27:49.139 --> 00:27:50.740
 live out your faith.

00:27:51.419 --> 00:27:51.899
 And really,

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:52.539
 you know,

00:27:52.619 --> 00:27:53.200
 we are,

00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:53.659
 again,

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:54.679
 sons and daughters

00:27:54.679 --> 00:27:55.819
 of the Lord

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.599
 Jesus Christ

00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:57.200
 first

00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:59.000
 before I'm

00:27:59.000 --> 00:27:59.519
 a husband

00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:00.359
 or a father

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:01.359
 or a doctor.

00:28:02.019 --> 00:28:02.299
 Right?

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:02.980
 That's our number

00:28:02.980 --> 00:28:05.099
 one identification.

00:28:05.099 --> 00:28:07.759
 I was at a service

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:09.519
 in Cherrydale Baptist Church

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:11.199
 in Virginia once

00:28:11.199 --> 00:28:11.759
 and I remember

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.740
 the pastor sharing

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:14.439
 again about a tombstone.

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:15.759
 He says,

00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.859
 what's on a tombstone?

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:18.839
 Oftentimes,

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:20.179
 it's the year

00:28:20.179 --> 00:28:20.959
 you were born

00:28:20.959 --> 00:28:22.859
 and the year

00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:23.559
 you died.

00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:25.179
 And what's

00:28:25.179 --> 00:28:25.799
 in between

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:26.759
 the year you're born

00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:27.959
 and the year you died?

00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:31.799
 A dash.

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:33.039
 So he said,

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:34.240
 make the most

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.940
 of your dash.

00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:37.639
 So,

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.319
 make the most

00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:38.899
 of your dash.

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:41.680
 So,

00:28:41.899 --> 00:28:42.680
 I have a question

00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:44.039
 on this section.

00:28:44.899 --> 00:28:45.139
 So,

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:46.940
 recognizing

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:47.779
 that there are

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:48.379
 so many

00:28:48.379 --> 00:28:49.240
 spiritual issues

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.180
 or broken relationships

00:28:50.180 --> 00:28:51.379
 or so forth,

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:52.899
 is that something

00:28:52.899 --> 00:28:53.659
 that's also

00:28:53.659 --> 00:28:54.480
 part of your practice

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:55.139
 that as you're going

00:28:55.139 --> 00:28:56.139
 to make your diagnosis

00:28:56.139 --> 00:28:57.539
 praying for wisdom

00:28:57.539 --> 00:28:58.419
 or insight

00:28:58.419 --> 00:29:00.039
 that you'll be able

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.720
 to perceive

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.960
 things that might

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.740
 be relevant?

00:29:04.120 --> 00:29:04.600
 Yeah,

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:04.860
 I mean,

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:06.839
 I battled that,

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.339
 actually,

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:07.740
 because,

00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:08.140
 you know,

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:09.400
 we're so surrounded

00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:10.799
 by secular culture

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.740
 and I'm surrounded

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.960
 by secular culture

00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:14.000
 and I'm surrounded

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.339
 by,

00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:14.660
 you know,

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:15.500
 knowledge and people

00:29:15.500 --> 00:29:16.420
 who have photographic

00:29:16.420 --> 00:29:17.319
 memories and up

00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:18.360
 with the latest literature.

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:19.680
 So,

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:20.559
 you think,

00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:20.740
 well,

00:29:20.819 --> 00:29:21.700
 maybe I've got to,

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:22.019
 you know,

00:29:22.579 --> 00:29:24.039
 spend more time there

00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.360
 when the actual truth

00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:26.880
 is you need,

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.039
 you can't have

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:28.839
 one or the other,

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:29.259
 actually.

00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:30.819
 You kind of be,

00:29:30.879 --> 00:29:31.779
 you need to be competent

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:33.379
 but you also need to know

00:29:33.379 --> 00:29:34.400
 where that comes from.

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:34.599
 So,

00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:35.779
 so finding the balance

00:29:35.779 --> 00:29:37.000
 and I think it is,

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:38.079
 I do believe

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:39.480
 if we ask the Lord

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:40.019
 for wisdom,

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:41.180
 he'll give it to us.

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:41.799
 But I,

00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:42.900
 like you point out,

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.440
 I think we need

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.059
 to be asking

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:45.900
 and whether I ask enough

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:47.079
 or I don't ask enough.

00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:48.779
 And so,

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:50.579
 one of the things

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:51.579
 I was going to get to

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:53.079
 and I'll share now

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:54.519
 is that I think

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:55.960
 as,

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:57.140
 as we will all be

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:58.200
 patients at some time.

00:29:59.460 --> 00:29:59.900
 So,

00:30:00.020 --> 00:30:01.600
 some practical applications

00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:03.180
 is that

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:04.640
 if your healthcare provider,

00:30:04.840 --> 00:30:06.060
 whether that's a doctor,

00:30:06.320 --> 00:30:06.720
 nurse,

00:30:06.840 --> 00:30:07.600
 nurse practitioner,

00:30:07.840 --> 00:30:08.120
 PA,

00:30:08.280 --> 00:30:08.759
 or whatever,

00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:10.540
 is taking care of you

00:30:10.540 --> 00:30:11.980
 and they don't ask you

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:13.480
 about your faith background,

00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:15.460
 you can tell them

00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:16.480
 about your faith background

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.640
 and you can ask,

00:30:18.820 --> 00:30:19.860
 please pray for me.

00:30:20.600 --> 00:30:21.840
 And you could be

00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:22.740
 the minister

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:23.460
 or missionary

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:24.620
 to that doctor

00:30:24.620 --> 00:30:25.640
 or healthcare provider.

00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:26.820
 would it be okay

00:30:26.820 --> 00:30:27.820
 if I prayed for you?

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.759
 If the patient

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:30.280
 and patients

00:30:30.280 --> 00:30:31.500
 have prayed for me,

00:30:31.780 --> 00:30:33.340
 I am so encouraged.

00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:36.040
 Right?

00:30:36.300 --> 00:30:36.560
 So,

00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:37.100
 you know,

00:30:37.860 --> 00:30:38.640
 and if the doctor

00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:39.420
 looks stressed,

00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:40.820
 so I look stressed sometimes,

00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:41.360
 doctor,

00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:41.920
 don't worry.

00:30:42.860 --> 00:30:43.820
 God is in control.

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:44.660
 Let me pray for you.

00:30:45.860 --> 00:30:46.340
 So,

00:30:46.520 --> 00:30:46.740
 you know,

00:30:46.860 --> 00:30:47.680
 God is,

00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:48.580
 kind of does things

00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:49.340
 upside down.

00:30:49.620 --> 00:30:50.600
 You might have gone,

00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:51.400
 you thought,

00:30:51.540 --> 00:30:52.900
 to get taken care of

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:53.700
 or get help

00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:54.740
 when in fact

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:56.059
 God was sending you

00:30:56.059 --> 00:30:58.059
 to help that person.

00:30:58.880 --> 00:30:59.539
 Thank you.

00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:00.519
 Yes?

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.799
 So,

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:02.980
 a few years ago,

00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:04.400
 I heard

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:05.880
 Larry Poland,

00:31:06.120 --> 00:31:06.680
 who was head

00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:07.900
 of the Master Media.

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:09.480
 You might be familiar

00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:10.620
 with that organization.

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:11.380
 They visit

00:31:11.380 --> 00:31:12.880
 CEOs of

00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.120
 media companies

00:31:14.120 --> 00:31:14.680
 and

00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:15.559
 actors

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:16.440
 and actresses

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.059
 and so on.

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:19.059
 And when they go in,

00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:20.700
 that's what he asks them.

00:31:21.019 --> 00:31:21.799
 Do you have

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.839
 a personal faith?

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:24.259
 And it's a very,

00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:25.700
 it's not an

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:27.559
 upsetting question

00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:28.279
 to people.

00:31:29.099 --> 00:31:29.440
 You know,

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:30.019
 they stop

00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:30.960
 and think about it.

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.359
 Right.

00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:32.839
 And the other thing

00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.799
 is how Francis Collins

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:35.839
 became a believer.

00:31:37.159 --> 00:31:38.299
 A woman

00:31:38.299 --> 00:31:39.720
 he was taking care of

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.500
 in the hospital

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:41.960
 asked him

00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.700
 something like that.

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:44.960
 Yeah.

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:46.680
 Are you a believer?

00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:47.619
 Or what are you

00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:48.339
 trusting in

00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:49.079
 when you die?

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:49.480
 Right.

00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:50.740
 And praise God

00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:51.539
 for that patient

00:31:51.539 --> 00:31:52.559
 that asked him that

00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:53.480
 because Francis Collins,

00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:53.960
 if you know,

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:55.079
 he's the head

00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:56.339
 of the Genome Project.

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.299
 So he's the head

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:58.299
 of researching

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:59.039
 all the genes,

00:31:59.220 --> 00:31:59.519
 the former,

00:31:59.700 --> 00:32:00.500
 maybe current,

00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:01.900
 head of the NIH.

00:32:02.579 --> 00:32:03.420
 Former head

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:03.980
 of the National

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:04.940
 Institute of Health.

00:32:05.380 --> 00:32:06.460
 So praise God

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:07.420
 for that patient

00:32:07.420 --> 00:32:08.599
 who asked

00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:09.120
 that question

00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:09.759
 to him.

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:11.039
 And oftentimes

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:11.900
 it's good

00:32:11.900 --> 00:32:12.279
 when you're

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.559
 relating with patients

00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:14.620
 or people,

00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:16.079
 instead of

00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:17.339
 telling them

00:32:17.339 --> 00:32:17.779
 something,

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.240
 is asking

00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:20.019
 them something,

00:32:20.679 --> 00:32:22.079
 asking the question.

00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:24.259
 So finally,

00:32:25.179 --> 00:32:26.519
 integrating

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:27.539
 faith and teaching.

00:32:27.679 --> 00:32:28.480
 So part of

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:29.379
 my particular

00:32:29.379 --> 00:32:30.000
 profession

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.119
 is teaching.

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:33.059
 And I

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:35.319
 have learned

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:36.059
 so much

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:37.059
 from my teachers.

00:32:38.179 --> 00:32:39.139
 And one of my

00:32:39.139 --> 00:32:39.639
 teachers

00:32:39.639 --> 00:32:41.039
 has been

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:42.419
 Dr. Jim Jekyll.

00:32:42.879 --> 00:32:43.859
 He is

00:32:43.859 --> 00:32:44.599
 the former

00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:46.279
 professor

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:46.339
 professor

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:46.700
 in the

00:32:46.700 --> 00:32:47.119
 School of

00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:47.960
 Public Health.

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:49.720
 So two

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:51.019
 decades ago,

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:53.700
 he gave

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:54.460
 the commencement

00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:56.039
 speech at Yale.

00:32:56.379 --> 00:32:56.960
 So I was,

00:32:57.139 --> 00:32:57.359
 you know,

00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:58.500
 recently came

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.160
 to Yale.

00:32:59.819 --> 00:33:00.599
 And here

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:01.079
 he is

00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:01.720
 in a public

00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:02.379
 forum

00:33:02.379 --> 00:33:04.240
 with graduating

00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:04.799
 students,

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:05.480
 families,

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.720
 people of all

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.720
 different faiths.

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:09.299
 And his

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:09.859
 talk

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:11.720
 was on

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:12.859
 scripture.

00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:13.579
 He says,

00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:14.160
 allow me

00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:14.540
 to kind

00:33:14.540 --> 00:33:14.880
 of share

00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:15.920
 you some

00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:16.500
 words.

00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:18.220
 In Proverbs

00:33:18.220 --> 00:33:18.700
 29,

00:33:18.820 --> 00:33:19.120
 18,

00:33:19.259 --> 00:33:19.779
 it says,

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:20.480
 where there

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:21.519
 is no

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:21.840
 vision,

00:33:21.940 --> 00:33:22.320
 the people

00:33:22.320 --> 00:33:22.880
 perish.

00:33:23.820 --> 00:33:24.300
 And it's

00:33:24.300 --> 00:33:24.820
 important to

00:33:24.820 --> 00:33:25.360
 have kind

00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:25.860
 of vision

00:33:25.860 --> 00:33:26.720
 and goals

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.140
 as you

00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:27.759
 move forward

00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:28.420
 from here.

00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:29.380
 But it was

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:29.800
 the first

00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:30.320
 time I

00:33:30.320 --> 00:33:30.920
 heard

00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:31.960
 scripture

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:33.380
 being

00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:35.140
 quoted

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:36.360
 in a

00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:36.700
 public

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:37.220
 forum.

00:33:37.940 --> 00:33:38.279
 And I

00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:38.640
 think that

00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:39.040
 was just

00:33:39.040 --> 00:33:39.660
 a reminder

00:33:39.660 --> 00:33:40.740
 of preaching

00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:41.580
 the word

00:33:41.580 --> 00:33:43.000
 in whichever

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.600
 field,

00:33:43.820 --> 00:33:44.480
 sharing the

00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:44.700
 word.

00:33:44.800 --> 00:33:45.380
 My words

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:45.860
 will go

00:33:45.860 --> 00:33:46.259
 away,

00:33:47.100 --> 00:33:47.540
 but the

00:33:47.540 --> 00:33:47.960
 Lord's

00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:49.240
 words will

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:49.680
 last

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:50.180
 forever.

00:33:51.180 --> 00:33:52.000
 So preaching

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.700
 the word

00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:53.400
 in whatever

00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:54.080
 field you

00:33:54.080 --> 00:33:54.480
 are.

00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:56.180
 I remember

00:33:56.180 --> 00:33:57.820
 he now

00:33:57.820 --> 00:33:58.860
 is battling

00:33:58.860 --> 00:33:59.759
 his older

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.240
 age,

00:34:00.360 --> 00:34:00.720
 battling

00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:01.560
 some memory

00:34:01.560 --> 00:34:02.259
 issues and

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:02.620
 stuff.

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:03.740
 But I'm

00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:04.580
 thankful I

00:34:04.580 --> 00:34:05.759
 know that

00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:06.380
 the word

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:07.100
 of God

00:34:07.100 --> 00:34:07.640
 is written

00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:08.300
 on his

00:34:08.300 --> 00:34:08.720
 heart.

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:10.440
 And so

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:11.099
 my knowledge

00:34:11.099 --> 00:34:11.660
 of medicine

00:34:11.660 --> 00:34:12.360
 is passing,

00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:14.059
 but I pray

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:14.500
 and I pray

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:14.880
 for my

00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:15.519
 six-year-old

00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:16.800
 son that

00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.460
 the word

00:34:17.460 --> 00:34:18.280
 of God

00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:18.800
 is written

00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:19.260
 on his

00:34:19.260 --> 00:34:19.599
 heart.

00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:20.519
 More

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:21.000
 importantly

00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:21.280
 than

00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:21.619
 anything

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:22.119
 else,

00:34:22.539 --> 00:34:23.300
 being an

00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:23.740
 athlete

00:34:23.740 --> 00:34:25.660
 or smart

00:34:25.660 --> 00:34:26.480
 or whatever,

00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:27.240
 is that

00:34:27.240 --> 00:34:27.840
 the word

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:28.460
 of God

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:29.019
 be written

00:34:29.019 --> 00:34:29.680
 on your

00:34:29.680 --> 00:34:30.019
 heart.

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:32.039
 Another

00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:32.619
 colleague

00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:33.099
 of mine,

00:34:33.200 --> 00:34:33.400
 Ernie

00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:33.800
 Moritz,

00:34:33.900 --> 00:34:34.700
 who has

00:34:34.700 --> 00:34:35.360
 been chairman

00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:35.940
 of medicine

00:34:35.940 --> 00:34:36.519
 at the

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:36.920
 Hospital of

00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:37.059
 St.

00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:37.480
 Rayfield

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:38.579
 three times,

00:34:39.260 --> 00:34:39.800
 really

00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:40.420
 distinguished.

00:34:40.740 --> 00:34:41.179
 He's a

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.559
 man of

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:41.760
 faith

00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:42.199
 himself.

00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:43.079
 His father

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:43.480
 was a

00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:43.820
 pastor.

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:45.539
 And I

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:45.900
 remember

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:46.740
 we in

00:34:46.740 --> 00:34:47.099
 medicine

00:34:47.099 --> 00:34:48.000
 train a

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:48.260
 lot of

00:34:48.260 --> 00:34:48.539
 people.

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:49.019
 So

00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:49.500
 oftentimes

00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:50.000
 after

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:50.360
 medical

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:50.639
 school

00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:50.960
 you did

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:51.179
 this

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:51.360
 thing

00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:51.599
 called

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:52.159
 residency.

00:34:53.019 --> 00:34:53.280
 And at

00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:53.400
 the

00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:53.599
 Hospital

00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:53.740
 of

00:34:53.740 --> 00:34:53.840
 St.

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:54.199
 Rayfield

00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:55.260
 we got

00:34:55.260 --> 00:34:55.699
 residents

00:34:55.699 --> 00:34:56.240
 from all

00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:56.639
 over the

00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:57.019
 world,

00:34:57.740 --> 00:34:58.500
 Africa,

00:34:58.900 --> 00:34:59.240
 Asia,

00:34:59.579 --> 00:34:59.760
 South

00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:00.099
 America,

00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:00.740
 all over,

00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:01.240
 with

00:35:01.240 --> 00:35:01.679
 different

00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:02.300
 faiths.

00:35:03.059 --> 00:35:03.420
 And at

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:03.760
 the end

00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:03.960
 of the

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:04.260
 year we

00:35:04.260 --> 00:35:04.559
 have a

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:05.019
 celebration,

00:35:05.300 --> 00:35:05.699
 an end

00:35:05.699 --> 00:35:05.900
 of the

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:06.460
 year party.

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:06.860
 And I

00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:07.500
 always remember

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:07.780
 him at

00:35:07.780 --> 00:35:08.079
 the end

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.320
 of the

00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:09.059
 year party

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.599
 as we

00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:10.340
 are gathered

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:11.280
 before the

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:11.679
 meal.

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:12.740
 Dr.

00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:13.400
 Moritz will

00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:13.980
 come up and

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:14.220
 says,

00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:14.659
 well, thank

00:35:14.659 --> 00:35:15.119
 you all for

00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:16.079
 being here.

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:18.000
 I know we

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.480
 have many

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.980
 different

00:35:18.980 --> 00:35:19.500
 faiths

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:20.240
 represented in

00:35:20.240 --> 00:35:21.159
 this room,

00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:22.579
 but allow

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:22.980
 me to

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:23.440
 share a

00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:23.839
 Christian

00:35:23.839 --> 00:35:24.279
 prayer.

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:26.019
 And then

00:35:26.019 --> 00:35:26.519
 he says

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:27.339
 grace for

00:35:27.339 --> 00:35:27.719
 the meal.

00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:29.539
 And again,

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:30.059
 it's just

00:35:30.059 --> 00:35:30.379
 another

00:35:30.379 --> 00:35:31.119
 opportunity

00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:31.960
 of

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:32.519
 witnessing,

00:35:33.759 --> 00:35:34.659
 not being

00:35:34.659 --> 00:35:35.199
 generic,

00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:35.599
 you know,

00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:36.059
 God,

00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:36.500
 general

00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:36.940
 God,

00:35:37.839 --> 00:35:38.940
 but God,

00:35:39.279 --> 00:35:40.019
 Father,

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:41.679
 our Lord

00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:42.460
 Jesus Christ

00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:42.779
 and the

00:35:42.779 --> 00:35:43.339
 Holy Spirit,

00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:44.059
 we pray to

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.359
 you.

00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:46.299
 So it's

00:35:46.299 --> 00:35:46.679
 good that

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:47.359
 he's clear

00:35:47.359 --> 00:35:48.299
 who he is

00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:48.960
 and who

00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:49.460
 he's praying

00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:49.760
 to.

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:51.539
 And then

00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:51.860
 you think

00:35:51.860 --> 00:35:52.580
 about ways,

00:35:52.720 --> 00:35:52.880
 you know,

00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:53.380
 I learned

00:35:53.380 --> 00:35:54.019
 from them

00:35:54.019 --> 00:35:54.480
 of ways

00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:55.039
 to integrate

00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:57.039
 into my

00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:57.480
 teaching.

00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:59.360
 So I

00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:00.060
 often say,

00:36:00.180 --> 00:36:00.539
 you know,

00:36:00.740 --> 00:36:01.760
 I forgot,

00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:02.640
 God created

00:36:02.640 --> 00:36:03.039
 the world

00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:03.420
 in how many

00:36:03.420 --> 00:36:03.740
 days?

00:36:05.260 --> 00:36:05.980
 Six days.

00:36:06.080 --> 00:36:06.260
 What did

00:36:06.260 --> 00:36:06.700
 he do on

00:36:06.700 --> 00:36:07.060
 the seventh?

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:08.380
 Rested,

00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:08.800
 he's seventh.

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.700
 So God

00:36:09.700 --> 00:36:10.340
 created the

00:36:10.340 --> 00:36:10.680
 world in

00:36:10.680 --> 00:36:10.940
 the sixth

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:11.180
 day and

00:36:11.180 --> 00:36:11.420
 rest on

00:36:11.420 --> 00:36:11.760
 the seventh.

00:36:12.080 --> 00:36:12.539
 So let

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:13.300
 me go over

00:36:13.300 --> 00:36:13.680
 with you

00:36:13.680 --> 00:36:14.100
 now the

00:36:14.100 --> 00:36:14.900
 seven steps

00:36:14.900 --> 00:36:15.440
 of reading

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:16.240
 EKGs.

00:36:18.300 --> 00:36:20.180
 So kind

00:36:20.180 --> 00:36:20.820
 of weave

00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:21.400
 it in.

00:36:23.120 --> 00:36:23.340
 Right?

00:36:24.460 --> 00:36:25.320
 Dr. Jekyll

00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:25.920
 would say,

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.240
 you know,

00:36:26.300 --> 00:36:26.960
 which is

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.560
 the first

00:36:27.560 --> 00:36:28.240
 published

00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:28.980
 cohort

00:36:28.980 --> 00:36:29.680
 study?

00:36:31.660 --> 00:36:32.180
 Where in

00:36:32.180 --> 00:36:32.500
 the literature

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:32.760
 is the

00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:33.320
 first published

00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:33.660
 cohort

00:36:33.660 --> 00:36:34.080
 study?

00:36:37.140 --> 00:36:37.760
 So it's

00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:38.080
 in the

00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:38.500
 Bible,

00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:40.680
 in Daniel,

00:36:41.200 --> 00:36:41.920
 with Shadrach,

00:36:42.019 --> 00:36:42.340
 Meshach,

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:42.980
 and Abednego,

00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:44.400
 when the

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:45.100
 king says

00:36:45.100 --> 00:36:45.440
 that they

00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:45.760
 don't want

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:45.960
 to eat

00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:46.680
 the food,

00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:47.720
 right?

00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:48.139
 And they'll

00:36:48.139 --> 00:36:48.719
 be fine,

00:36:48.799 --> 00:36:49.000
 and the

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:49.459
 other group

00:36:49.459 --> 00:36:50.000
 did eat

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:50.559
 the food,

00:36:50.859 --> 00:36:51.319
 so that's

00:36:51.319 --> 00:36:51.759
 a cohort

00:36:51.759 --> 00:36:52.339
 study.

00:36:52.859 --> 00:36:53.159
 And the

00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:53.980
 first published

00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:54.799
 cohort study

00:36:54.799 --> 00:36:55.259
 is in the

00:36:55.259 --> 00:36:55.500
 Bible.

00:36:56.319 --> 00:36:56.859
 And again,

00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:57.899
 weaving it

00:36:57.899 --> 00:36:58.359
 into your,

00:36:58.639 --> 00:36:58.859
 you know,

00:36:58.919 --> 00:36:59.419
 being very

00:36:59.419 --> 00:37:00.199
 creative of

00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:00.819
 ways to

00:37:00.819 --> 00:37:01.299
 kind of

00:37:01.299 --> 00:37:02.239
 weave it

00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:02.539
 in.

00:37:03.819 --> 00:37:04.419
 And so,

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:05.899
 we have

00:37:05.899 --> 00:37:06.299
 six minutes

00:37:06.299 --> 00:37:06.519
 left.

00:37:07.579 --> 00:37:08.519
 So in

00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:09.000
 teaching,

00:37:09.399 --> 00:37:10.739
 I told you

00:37:10.739 --> 00:37:11.179
 about this

00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:11.500
 medical

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:11.959
 fellowship

00:37:11.959 --> 00:37:12.539
 group,

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:13.319
 Yale Health

00:37:13.319 --> 00:37:14.459
 Professional

00:37:14.459 --> 00:37:15.259
 Christian Fellowship

00:37:15.259 --> 00:37:15.480
 Group,

00:37:15.959 --> 00:37:16.459
 which has been

00:37:16.459 --> 00:37:17.359
 around now,

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:17.640
 I think,

00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:18.720
 over a quarter

00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:19.160
 century.

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:20.120
 And it

00:37:20.120 --> 00:37:21.240
 began before

00:37:21.240 --> 00:37:22.120
 here,

00:37:22.380 --> 00:37:22.940
 a church in

00:37:22.940 --> 00:37:23.420
 North Haven

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:24.160
 was praying

00:37:24.160 --> 00:37:24.900
 for a fellowship

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:25.460
 group to

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:25.800
 begin.

00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.260
 And that

00:37:27.260 --> 00:37:27.840
 answer to

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:28.340
 prayer has

00:37:28.340 --> 00:37:28.760
 been this

00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:29.220
 group that's

00:37:29.220 --> 00:37:29.620
 been meeting

00:37:29.620 --> 00:37:30.220
 over a quarter

00:37:30.220 --> 00:37:31.000
 century on

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:31.539
 campus.

00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:32.440
 So they have

00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:33.160
 Bible studies

00:37:33.160 --> 00:37:34.019
 and, you

00:37:34.019 --> 00:37:34.220
 know,

00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:34.840
 teach people

00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:35.140
 how to

00:37:35.140 --> 00:37:36.019
 integrate faith

00:37:36.019 --> 00:37:36.700
 into practice.

00:37:37.700 --> 00:37:38.500
 And one

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:38.780
 of the

00:37:38.780 --> 00:37:40.680
 students that

00:37:40.680 --> 00:37:41.240
 came to the

00:37:41.240 --> 00:37:42.000
 group one

00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:42.260
 day,

00:37:42.260 --> 00:37:42.900
 her name

00:37:42.900 --> 00:37:43.600
 was Allison.

00:37:44.680 --> 00:37:45.260
 And Allison

00:37:45.260 --> 00:37:46.540
 is a third

00:37:46.540 --> 00:37:48.120
 year Yale

00:37:48.120 --> 00:37:49.160
 medical student.

00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:50.540
 And she,

00:37:51.200 --> 00:37:51.520
 after,

00:37:51.780 --> 00:37:52.100
 during your

00:37:52.100 --> 00:37:52.400
 training,

00:37:52.520 --> 00:37:52.920
 you have to

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.240
 do these

00:37:53.240 --> 00:37:53.820
 things called

00:37:53.820 --> 00:37:54.300
 clerkships.

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:54.880
 You go first

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.320
 time taking

00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:55.680
 care of

00:37:55.680 --> 00:37:56.140
 patients.

00:37:56.620 --> 00:37:57.040
 So it's a

00:37:57.040 --> 00:37:57.860
 really stressful

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:58.580
 time.

00:37:59.360 --> 00:37:59.660
 And she

00:37:59.660 --> 00:38:00.460
 heard about

00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:00.960
 scripture,

00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:01.720
 she heard

00:38:01.720 --> 00:38:02.340
 about praying,

00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:02.800
 but hadn't

00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:03.540
 really practiced

00:38:03.540 --> 00:38:04.000
 that.

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:04.880
 And one of

00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:05.420
 her first

00:38:05.420 --> 00:38:06.780
 patients was

00:38:06.780 --> 00:38:07.260
 Larry.

00:38:07.260 --> 00:38:08.540
 Larry was

00:38:08.540 --> 00:38:08.820
 at the

00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:09.600
 VA hospital.

00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:10.040
 He was

00:38:10.040 --> 00:38:10.900
 45 years

00:38:10.900 --> 00:38:11.480
 old.

00:38:11.620 --> 00:38:12.060
 He was

00:38:12.060 --> 00:38:12.540
 a nuclear

00:38:12.540 --> 00:38:13.020
 submarine

00:38:13.020 --> 00:38:13.580
 tech.

00:38:14.260 --> 00:38:14.700
 And he

00:38:14.700 --> 00:38:15.480
 couldn't do

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.800
 the designated

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.800
 one-mile run

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:18.060
 in the

00:38:18.060 --> 00:38:18.920
 designated time.

00:38:18.980 --> 00:38:19.080
 He was

00:38:19.080 --> 00:38:19.620
 more tired

00:38:19.620 --> 00:38:20.200
 than normal.

00:38:20.780 --> 00:38:21.280
 He came

00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:21.740
 in, he

00:38:21.740 --> 00:38:22.200
 found to

00:38:22.200 --> 00:38:22.620
 have a

00:38:22.620 --> 00:38:23.200
 really high

00:38:23.200 --> 00:38:23.760
 white blood

00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:24.300
 cell count,

00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:24.860
 was diagnosed

00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:25.840
 with leukemia.

00:38:26.660 --> 00:38:27.540
 And so she

00:38:27.540 --> 00:38:28.820
 is talking to

00:38:28.820 --> 00:38:29.380
 him for the

00:38:29.380 --> 00:38:30.080
 first time,

00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:30.300
 you know,

00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:30.720
 tell me about

00:38:30.720 --> 00:38:31.160
 yourself,

00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:32.660
 and, you

00:38:32.660 --> 00:38:32.720
 know,

00:38:32.740 --> 00:38:33.080
 what's your

00:38:33.080 --> 00:38:33.780
 faith,

00:38:34.340 --> 00:38:35.740
 and gets

00:38:35.740 --> 00:38:36.240
 the history

00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:36.460
 of the

00:38:36.460 --> 00:38:36.780
 patient.

00:38:36.780 --> 00:38:37.540
 And before

00:38:37.540 --> 00:38:38.760
 it ends,

00:38:39.200 --> 00:38:39.740
 she says,

00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:40.300
 may I pray

00:38:40.300 --> 00:38:40.740
 for you?

00:38:41.620 --> 00:38:42.060
 And Larry

00:38:42.060 --> 00:38:42.560
 says, yes.

00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:43.019
 So she

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:43.519
 prays for

00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:43.740
 her.

00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:44.280
 Larry,

00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:44.840
 pray your

00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:45.220
 help,

00:38:45.300 --> 00:38:45.580
 help the

00:38:45.580 --> 00:38:45.980
 doctors,

00:38:46.160 --> 00:38:46.460
 grant them

00:38:46.460 --> 00:38:46.820
 wisdom,

00:38:47.820 --> 00:38:48.540
 amen.

00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:50.460
 After she

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:50.980
 says amen,

00:38:51.660 --> 00:38:52.280
 Larry starts

00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:52.820
 praying for

00:38:52.820 --> 00:38:53.160
 her.

00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:54.820
 Help

00:38:54.820 --> 00:38:55.300
 Allison,

00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:56.040
 this rotation

00:38:56.040 --> 00:38:56.460
 is very

00:38:56.460 --> 00:38:57.019
 hard,

00:38:57.180 --> 00:38:57.980
 help her.

00:38:58.760 --> 00:38:59.680
 And she

00:38:59.680 --> 00:39:00.220
 begins.

00:39:01.260 --> 00:39:01.720
 So the

00:39:01.720 --> 00:39:02.480
 next day,

00:39:02.680 --> 00:39:03.040
 we go to

00:39:03.040 --> 00:39:03.420
 the VA,

00:39:03.900 --> 00:39:04.660
 we're walking

00:39:04.660 --> 00:39:05.100
 around,

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:06.019
 and Larry

00:39:06.019 --> 00:39:06.480
 comes up

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:06.759
 to me

00:39:06.759 --> 00:39:07.179
 and gives

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:07.460
 me a

00:39:07.460 --> 00:39:08.000
 big hug.

00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:09.039
 Thank you

00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:09.460
 so much

00:39:09.460 --> 00:39:10.159
 for sending

00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:10.759
 Allison.

00:39:11.579 --> 00:39:11.960
 And on

00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:12.579
 his own,

00:39:12.659 --> 00:39:13.219
 he says,

00:39:13.340 --> 00:39:13.619
 you know,

00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:14.420
 I feel

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:14.880
 like I'm

00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:15.380
 in Daniel,

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:15.800
 you know,

00:39:15.860 --> 00:39:16.619
 in Daniel,

00:39:16.739 --> 00:39:16.880
 you know,

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:17.259
 Shadrach,

00:39:17.340 --> 00:39:17.579
 Meshach,

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:17.960
 and Lydagel

00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:18.280
 were in

00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:18.759
 the fiery

00:39:18.759 --> 00:39:19.340
 furnace,

00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:20.179
 but they

00:39:20.179 --> 00:39:20.659
 would not

00:39:20.659 --> 00:39:21.360
 bow down

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:21.780
 to any

00:39:21.780 --> 00:39:22.219
 god.

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:23.920
 And I

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:24.239
 feel like

00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:24.679
 I'm in

00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:25.119
 the fiery

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:25.619
 furnace,

00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:26.500
 but I

00:39:26.500 --> 00:39:26.820
 do not

00:39:26.820 --> 00:39:27.400
 fear,

00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:28.960
 because I

00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:29.420
 know the

00:39:29.420 --> 00:39:29.940
 Lord is

00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:30.460
 in control.

00:39:30.460 --> 00:39:35.059
 so in

00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:35.699
 summary,

00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:37.400
 so whether

00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:38.199
 you eat,

00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:39.039
 drink,

00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:40.579
 whatever you

00:39:40.579 --> 00:39:40.940
 do,

00:39:41.720 --> 00:39:42.420
 doctor,

00:39:43.059 --> 00:39:43.579
 worker,

00:39:44.240 --> 00:39:44.720
 educator,

00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:46.039
 do it

00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:46.760
 all for the

00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:47.400
 glory of

00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:47.840
 God.

00:39:49.740 --> 00:39:50.460
 Remember,

00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:51.079
 don't make

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:51.820
 the job

00:39:51.820 --> 00:39:52.699
 itself an

00:39:52.699 --> 00:39:53.019
 idol.

00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:55.199
 Remember the

00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:56.199
 importance of

00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:56.740
 praying,

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:58.819
 and remember

00:39:58.819 --> 00:39:59.179
 it's a

00:39:59.179 --> 00:40:00.079
 passing down.

00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:00.779
 We're here

00:40:00.779 --> 00:40:01.239
 on this

00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:01.719
 journey,

00:40:02.859 --> 00:40:03.399
 a temporary

00:40:03.399 --> 00:40:04.099
 time,

00:40:04.939 --> 00:40:05.379
 but really

00:40:05.379 --> 00:40:06.059
 to pass

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:06.559
 what you

00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:06.979
 have been

00:40:06.979 --> 00:40:07.279
 given,

00:40:07.439 --> 00:40:07.899
 how much

00:40:07.899 --> 00:40:08.319
 we've been

00:40:08.319 --> 00:40:08.679
 given.

00:40:09.579 --> 00:40:09.839
 You know,

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:10.279
 Richard

00:40:10.279 --> 00:40:11.019
 Gilardi at

00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:11.879
 West Haven

00:40:11.879 --> 00:40:12.439
 always said,

00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:12.879
 you know,

00:40:12.919 --> 00:40:13.279
 how are you

00:40:13.279 --> 00:40:13.479
 doing,

00:40:13.579 --> 00:40:13.799
 Richard?

00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:14.779
 He would

00:40:14.779 --> 00:40:15.239
 always say,

00:40:15.319 --> 00:40:15.779
 I'm doing

00:40:15.779 --> 00:40:16.419
 better than

00:40:16.419 --> 00:40:16.899
 I deserve

00:40:16.899 --> 00:40:17.379
 to.

00:40:18.659 --> 00:40:19.099
 And,

00:40:19.219 --> 00:40:19.579
 you know,

00:40:19.699 --> 00:40:20.619
 I am doing

00:40:20.619 --> 00:40:21.399
 better than

00:40:21.399 --> 00:40:21.979
 I deserve

00:40:21.979 --> 00:40:22.279
 to.

00:40:22.819 --> 00:40:23.539
 And it's

00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:24.039
 only by

00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:24.799
 God's

00:40:24.799 --> 00:40:26.419
 grace and

00:40:26.420 --> 00:40:26.840
 mercy.

00:40:30.659 --> 00:40:31.260
 Any

00:40:31.260 --> 00:40:32.119
 questions or

00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:32.559
 comments?

00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:40.400
 So,

00:40:40.820 --> 00:40:41.780
 allow me to

00:40:41.780 --> 00:40:42.019
 pray.

00:40:43.720 --> 00:40:43.980
 So,

00:40:44.139 --> 00:40:44.840
 Almighty and

00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:45.900
 Eternal Father,

00:40:46.780 --> 00:40:47.539
 draw our

00:40:47.539 --> 00:40:48.119
 hearts to

00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:48.420
 you,

00:40:49.820 --> 00:40:50.599
 guide our

00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:51.280
 minds,

00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:52.820
 fill our

00:40:52.820 --> 00:40:53.519
 imagination,

00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:55.340
 control

00:40:55.340 --> 00:40:56.380
 our will,

00:40:56.420 --> 00:40:58.139
 that we

00:40:58.139 --> 00:40:58.820
 may be

00:40:58.820 --> 00:40:59.360
 wholly

00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:00.059
 yours,

00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:01.059
 utterly

00:41:01.059 --> 00:41:01.820
 dedicated

00:41:01.820 --> 00:41:02.460
 to you,

00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:03.920
 and then

00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:04.539
 use us

00:41:04.539 --> 00:41:05.159
 as you

00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:05.579
 will,

00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:07.099
 and always

00:41:07.099 --> 00:41:08.240
 to your

00:41:08.240 --> 00:41:09.260
 glory and

00:41:09.260 --> 00:41:09.760
 the welfare

00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:10.280
 of your

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:10.680
 people,

00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:12.500
 through our

00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:13.400
 Lord and

00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:13.740
 Savior,

00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:14.820
 Jesus Christ.

00:41:15.579 --> 00:41:15.920
 Amen.

00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:16.059
 Amen.

00:41:19.380 --> 00:41:19.980
 One more

00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:20.340
 thing before

00:41:20.340 --> 00:41:20.840
 we finish.

00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:22.220
 At the

00:41:22.220 --> 00:41:22.400
 end of

00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:22.760
 each class,

00:41:22.820 --> 00:41:22.960
 we want

00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:23.340
 to pray

00:41:23.340 --> 00:41:24.420
 for the

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:24.820
 person who's

00:41:24.820 --> 00:41:25.300
 teaching and

00:41:25.300 --> 00:41:25.639
 for the

00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:25.940
 people who

00:41:25.940 --> 00:41:26.220
 are working

00:41:26.220 --> 00:41:26.960
 in their

00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:27.260
 field.

00:41:27.260 --> 00:41:27.780
 So,

00:41:27.780 --> 00:41:29.059
 if I could

00:41:29.059 --> 00:41:29.460
 ask John

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:30.119
 to pray for

00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:31.000
 Barry and

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:32.420
 for anyone

00:41:32.420 --> 00:41:32.920
 else here

00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:33.320
 who's

00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:39.539
 working in

00:41:39.539 --> 00:41:40.139
 the medical

00:41:40.139 --> 00:41:40.860
 field in

00:41:40.860 --> 00:41:41.380
 one way or

00:41:41.380 --> 00:41:41.700
 another.

00:41:41.699 --> 00:41:48.739
 Father, we

00:41:48.739 --> 00:41:49.299
 thank you so

00:41:49.299 --> 00:41:50.019
 much that

00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:50.759
 you have

00:41:50.759 --> 00:41:51.739
 called a

00:41:51.739 --> 00:41:52.639
 people to

00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:54.259
 yourself and

00:41:54.259 --> 00:41:54.779
 that you have

00:41:54.779 --> 00:41:55.379
 poured out the

00:41:55.379 --> 00:41:56.039
 blessings of your

00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:56.719
 gospel upon

00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:57.299
 them and you

00:41:57.299 --> 00:41:57.739
 have called

00:41:57.739 --> 00:41:59.379
 us to image

00:41:59.379 --> 00:42:00.480
 you wherever

00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:01.679
 we go and

00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:02.399
 also to bear

00:42:02.399 --> 00:42:03.179
 witness to

00:42:03.179 --> 00:42:03.460
 you.

00:42:03.739 --> 00:42:04.279
 We thank you

00:42:04.279 --> 00:42:05.460
 for Barry,

00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:06.019
 how you have

00:42:06.019 --> 00:42:07.460
 placed him in

00:42:07.460 --> 00:42:08.480
 this critical

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:09.619
 place and I

00:42:09.619 --> 00:42:10.099
 pray that you

00:42:10.099 --> 00:42:11.400
 would continue

00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:12.759
 to manifest

00:42:12.759 --> 00:42:13.579
 yourself to

00:42:13.579 --> 00:42:14.559
 him such that

00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:14.900
 he would

00:42:14.900 --> 00:42:15.719
 recognize each

00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:16.799
 day that you

00:42:16.799 --> 00:42:17.339
 were the pearl

00:42:17.339 --> 00:42:18.159
 of great price

00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:18.759
 and that he

00:42:18.759 --> 00:42:19.400
 would order his

00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:20.440
 days around you.

00:42:21.179 --> 00:42:21.940
 I pray that you

00:42:21.940 --> 00:42:23.319
 would continue to

00:42:23.319 --> 00:42:24.259
 make his time in

00:42:24.259 --> 00:42:25.219
 your word so

00:42:25.219 --> 00:42:26.199
 sweet and in it

00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:27.719
 he would behold

00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:28.599
 great and mighty

00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:29.739
 things that would

00:42:29.739 --> 00:42:30.920
 be of immense

00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:32.579
 use to him as he

00:42:32.579 --> 00:42:33.559
 seeks to serve

00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:34.339
 and love in your

00:42:34.339 --> 00:42:35.819
 name and diagnose

00:42:35.819 --> 00:42:37.199
 and treat patients.

00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:38.279
 We thank you for

00:42:38.279 --> 00:42:40.000
 the courage and

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:40.940
 the love that you

00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:41.820
 have given him

00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:44.019
 to press on even

00:42:44.019 --> 00:42:45.619
 in contexts that

00:42:45.619 --> 00:42:46.599
 might seem a little

00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:48.119
 tense or challenging

00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:49.179
 but that love

00:42:49.179 --> 00:42:50.280
 breaks through and

00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:51.659
 taking initiative to

00:42:51.659 --> 00:42:53.219
 pray with patients

00:42:53.219 --> 00:42:54.460
 for them, with them

00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:55.679
 and to receive their

00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:56.199
 prayers too.

00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:57.440
 So I pray that he

00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:58.400
 would just go on from

00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:59.340
 strength to strength

00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:01.480
 and others here in

00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:02.480
 the medical field,

00:43:02.739 --> 00:43:03.699
 we pray that that

00:43:03.699 --> 00:43:04.340
 would become a

00:43:04.340 --> 00:43:05.800
 platform in which

00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:06.760
 they might be able to

00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:07.960
 manifest your name

00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:08.659
 and they might be

00:43:08.659 --> 00:43:09.360
 able to bring

00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:11.139
 your healing care

00:43:11.139 --> 00:43:13.380
 to a hurting

00:43:13.380 --> 00:43:14.460
 and lost world.

00:43:14.860 --> 00:43:15.519
 So we thank you

00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:16.260
 for the encouragement

00:43:16.260 --> 00:43:17.619
 of these reflections

00:43:17.619 --> 00:43:20.880
 and may you continue

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:22.400
 to be with us

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:23.099
 this day.

00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:24.139
 We ask these things

00:43:24.139 --> 00:43:25.019
 in Jesus' name.
