I really enjoyed and appreciated this post. It’s incredibly authentic. As a person of faith, a Father and a Grandfather of 4, I’ll tell you that my faith gives me a framework for living, thinking and for interacting with others. All around us we see bad leaders, failed institutions and widespread nihilism. People are craving principles, values and community centered on those principles. The description of the author’s spiritual awakening encountering someone who “….was full of grace, love and kindness that combined emanated a type of peace that I so desperately had been craving.” In a country seemingly preoccupied with narcissistic leaders; the author’s mission driven story of action and impact is inspiring. Faith creates purpose. Purpose inspires action. Action inspires impact and in this case, critical mental health services and infrastructure. Thanks for this thoughtful and inspiring post.
Thanks so much, Jeff! It's always a little surprising to be reminded I have readers who I'm a fan of too, as in this case. I think the role of principles and faith is one we all can think about, in our own context, to make better decisions about what and why. Thanks for reading, and feel free to share.
