I thought I honor both of these men so massively, so if they disagree who am I to come up with the answer. . . Then to be honest I became very desperate about my lack of courage. . . I wanted to be a witness. Jesus said when you receive the power of the Spirit you will be witnesses. . . I met a <a href='https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/library\/pentecostal' target='_blank'>pentecostal<\/a> who was so outgoing . . he was fearless and bold. . .

Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience carry us over a lifetime of change. These are the themes I explore in my books and in the articles I have written for Patheos since 2003. My writing draws on my scientific training as a doctor and psychiatrist, my work in the UK's National Health Service and the pharmaceutical industry, alongside more than twenty-five years as a member of a growing church where I served on the leadership team offering pastoral care. My perspective has also been shaped by chronic illness since 2017, when I developed life-threatening pneumonia that caused lasting damage to my body, triggered several further conditions, and uncovered a diagnosis of blood cancer. This was successfully treated, although doctors expect it to return in the future. Out of these experiences I founded Blood Cancer Uncensored, an online patient-led support community.

Amazing Grace: How Faith Grows in the Human Heart \u2192 What are the first steps on a journey of faith?
