"I don’t know what I’m doing. But because they trust me, I’m going to do something: live into that role, live into ministerial authority and ministerial presence. That’s what I would want if I were in [a patient's] situation, so I’m just going to do it.” -- Carrie McEvoy
In today's episode of Rev'ing Up, hosts Meagan and Carrie continue their discussion of Clinical Pastoral Education and chaplaincy. Sometimes, being perceived as a source of authority or spiritual presence activates our own ability to be authoritative or present. Hear a powerful anecdote from Carrie about witnessing an intense moment of grief as a chaplain in training, and follow along with Meagan and Carrie's discussion about how this informs their ministerial formation.
