The church is treating my child's medical issue as a sin issue. What should I do?

Author: 1517 August 23, 2022 Duration: 9:28

Ted asks about how the church can sometimes mis-categorize a problem as though it was an outcropping of sin. Rod talks about what pastors are and are not trained in, and what a wise pastoral response might be, looking to sin as the origin of the problem only if absolutely necessary.

In the spirit of those free-flowing back deck conversations in Irvine, Talks with Dad Rod captures the essence of long talks about life, faith, and everything in between. This podcast is a continuation of that tradition, now hosted by Rod and his son, Ted. Each brief episode distills the warmth and depth of those discussions into a six-minute format, offering a moment of reflection amidst daily routines. Listeners will hear candid exchanges rooted in a Christian worldview, yet broadly engaging with culture, philosophy, and the nuances of modern society. It’s less a formal lecture and more like pulling up a chair to listen in on a thoughtful dialogue between a father and son. The podcast naturally explores spirituality and personal experience, aiming to provide genuine connection and insight one short talk at a time.
