Description
All creation groans (Romans 8:22) as it waits
for redemption to be completely applied to this crazy world. Sometimes the
groaning is a response to our environment, and sometimes it’s within us. In
either case, we are all overwhelmed at times by the real and perceived
challenges we periodically face. This episode recognizes the legitimacy of both
physiologic and spiritual treatment modalities, and how the gospel can be
foundational in the treatment we provide for all patients, both believers and
non-believers.
