It's our second last episode of this season, and was a bit delayed by additional editing... but we're here now! This week on the podcast, we're tackling a difficult, but crucially important topic: death, and specifically what it looks like to approach Medical Assistance in Dying, or MAID, from a biblical perspective. Thankfully, we have an incredible Bible teacher with us this week to share his thoughts and experiences. I'm so glad that Dr. Jonathan Griffiths offered to tackle such a sensitive and intense topic, so that we can be equipped to talk about it with friends, family and neighbours. ----- ----- -----Speaker Bio:Dr. Jonathan Griffiths serves as the Chancellor of Heritage College & Seminary, Executive Director of the Timothy Trust, and a council member of The Gospel Coalition Canada.
